Oscars to go host-less for second year

10:18, January 9

The 2020 Oscars ceremony in February will again have no host, the head of ABC Television Entertainment said on Wednesday, Reuters reported.

“Let me confirm it now. Together with the Academy (of Motion Pictures), we have decided there will be no traditional host again this year,” Karey Burke, president of ABC Entertainment, told television reporters.

The 2019 Oscars was the first in 30 years to have no host and saw the audience on broadcaster ABC (DIS.N) rise to 29.6 million Americans, breaking a four-year trend of falling viewership for the live ceremony.

Burke said the decision not to have a host for the Feb. 9 event was prompted by good reviews last year.

Finding a host for big awards show has become increasingly difficult in recent years. Comedian Kevin Hart pulled out of the 2019 Oscars job after being slammed on social media for homophobic comments he had made in the past. He apologized.

Other comedians have met with criticism for being either too harsh, too political, or too soft in their jokes.
