After three years of hostless ceremonies, Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes were announced as the MCs of the 2022 awards show.
They were the first all-female trio in Oscars history and the show was the first time three hosts presented the event since Paul Hogan, Chevy Chase, and Goldie Hawn 35 years ago.
Schumer revealed she had been approached in the past but had declined, saying: "I just feel like we’re coming out of this pandemic and I think we all have this new lease on life and I’m like, I want to host the Oscars. I want to perform and I feel like telling jokes and getting to do it with Wanda and Regina is beyond my wildest dreams."
