Billy Crystal And Jimmy Kimmel Knock Hostless Oscars: “Like Having A Trial Without Witnesses”

“This year is another no-host show, which is like having a trial without witnesses,” Crystal cracked, alluding to Donald Trump’s impeachment proceeding. “It moves faster, but it’s not quite the result that you want.”

Sunday’s telecast will be the second in a row without a host, a move made by ABC and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences after their initial pick, Kevin Hart, left amid controversy about past tweets. Other awards shows, including last September’s Emmys, have also gone host-less.“It’s the tradition of it,” Crystal said. “I always loved being out there. I loved the, I guess, the trust that the movie academy had in me to get me out there.

As an example, Crystal mentioned “Envelopegate,” the mix-up during Kimmel’s first hosting turn in 2017, which sawafter the latter’s name was initially read as the winner. “That show would still be on right now” without a host to help sort things out, Kimmel said.

They want ratings and for people to actually tune in? It's gonna cost em! 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

If that means it will be shorter, I’m all for it!!

The recent hosts turned the Oscars into a gong show - ordering pizza, selfies, trips to other theaters.... Classless. Very happy there are no hosts. Bring Billy back and it will be fine.

Billy Crystal, Hugh Jackman, and Stephen Fry are the only people I can think of that are good at hosting the Oscars. Everyone else, no matter how talented they are (least of all Jimmy Kimmel) can't make it work.
