The search for this year’s master of ceremonies is less about who is best for the job and more about who’s willing to take it. Photo: Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic, Inc When ABC unexpectedly announced that the 2022 Oscars will feature a host — after three years without a dedicated master of ceremonies — the speculation began. Almost immediately, Spider-Man: No Way Home co-stars Tom Holland and Zendaya vaulted to the top of short lists of potential emcees .
According to Mechanic and several current Academy members who spoke to Vulture, Oscars hosting continues to rank among the least desirable jobs in modern Hollywood. The perceived negatives outweigh the pluses; in addition to forensic scrutiny into their pasts, potential emcees can also expect endless takes and tweets vivisecting their compatibility for the job.
Potential 2022 emcees such as Holland and the Rock could prove a potent draw for the kinds of younger viewers the Oscars have been bleeding for the last few years and on whom the future of so much moviedom depends. But in the aftermath of the fever dream that was 2011’s Anne Hathaway and James Franco–fronted Oscars , producers have been increasingly reluctant to hire hosts who aren’t professional comedians.
