2023 Academy Awards Host Tips

Hosting the Film Academy Awards gala is an honor that most professionals in the entertainment industry can receive. However, it is also one of the most difficult tasks at the same time. Every single joke, speech, and embarrassing moment carries much more weight than any other show. Over the years, celebrities such as Chris Rock, Ellen DeGeneres, and Whoopi Goldberg have taken on the role of hosting the Oscars. We all know how some of those events turned out. Now that the gala is getting closer, the 2023 Academy Awards host tips started appearing. No matter what kind of gala it is, the show is unimaginable without one or more funny presenters. They introduce the individual categories with light and, hopefully, funny jokes and pick subtly on the celebrities sitting in the auditorium, at least, that is the idea. On the other hand, in the nine-decade history of the Oscars, there were several years when there was no host at all, and other times the jokes simply didn't work out. So, besides the honor, it is a great responsibility, especially after the scandal last year.

2023 Academy Awards Host Tips

It might not come as a surprise that Chris Rock will not host the show next year. The American comedian said he will not host the 2023 event after the Oscar-winning actor Will Smith slapped him on stage during the ceremony. According to online sportsbook sites in the US, the comedian turned this unpleasant memory into a joke, making several references to what happened at the 94th Oscars during his performances.  Rock presented the award for the best documentary when in his intro speech, he made a joke about Will Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. However, Will Smith did not find the comment about his wife's baldness humorous. So he marched on stage in a rage and slapped the comedian. Chris Rock has hosted the Oscars twice before already, in 2005 and 2016. According to Chris Rock, returning to the stage as a host would be like visiting a crime scene.

Scandalous Moments at the Oscars

While there was no shortage of scandalous moments in the 1970s, just think of the Indian girl receiving an award instead of Marlon Brando or the naked guy running across the stage, by the 2000s, the gala started to get boring. The number of viewers decreased, and the organizers had to come up with something. The producers wanted a scandal, so in 2005 they turned to Chris Rock for help.  Rock made a few jokes, but when he questioned the acting qualities of Tobey Maguire, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law, awkward applause followed. Ellen DeGeneres’s jokes also raised some eyebrows. In 1995, David Letterman made a fool of himself and Tom Hanks but also managed to insult the Academy. Who knows, maybe the famous slap, or the "incident", was an arranged move to grow the viewership.

British actor Tom Holland, who became famous as Spiderman, said that he would like to host the ceremony, and according to 22BET Sportsbook, he is among the 2023 Academy Awards host tips. Another potential winner, Pete Davidson, might host the 95th Oscars, although he is less likely to win based on the odds. If you are interested in the 2023 Oscar host odds, you can check them out at online sportsbook sites in the US! The statement of ABC's president, responsible for entertainment programs, revealed that more presenters could appear at next year's Oscar gala. Selena Gomez and her "Only Murders in the Building" comedy series co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin have a good chance of hosting the 95th Academy Awards. According to Erwich, the trio is popular, and everyone loves them. They would be a dream team, but there are still many great options.

Who Would be the Best Candidate?

The whole year, there is always a great debate about who will host the Oscars next year. Since the world has become sensitive, it is not easy to find a person or persons who will undertake unexpected situations during the gala. However, the Oscar Committee may have found a solution to remedy this problem. Neither John Cena, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson nor Dave Bautista seems like you could slap around after a bad joke. The organizers might consider them as the 2023 gala hosts. The incident with Will Smith made everyone realize that the hosts must not only have to give good speeches but also be able to defend themselves if the situation asks for it. Former wrestlers like John Cenas are well versed in this, as they were professional showmen. The big muscles don’t hurt either. All in all, they would make perfect hosts. The incident last year probably wouldn't have happened if The Rock was standing on the stage, joking with Jada Pinkett Smith because who would dare to attack Dwayne Johnson? Furthermore, it was also revealed that the wrestling organization WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment, is also involved in organizing the gala. For example, at the presentation of a few categories, some of the wrestlers of the organization will be present. The winners will have to defeat before receiving the award. For example, Roman Reigns will present the award for the best actor accompanied by a spectacular show element. It’s another question how many hosts will be there? At 22BET Sportsbook, there are options for a duo among the 2023 Academy Award host tips.
