Read our privacy policy Amy Schumer has joked that she “better go watch some movies” after being announced as one of the hosts of the 2022 Academy Awards. The news was confirmed on ABC’s Good Morning America today It’s been 35 years since three hosts have taken the stage for one ceremony, and the first time in history that an all-female group will do the honours together. Schumer joked: “I’m not sure who thought this was a good idea but I am hosting the Oscars, along with my good friend Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall. The decision to have three hosts this year was made in an attempt to reach a broader audience, since viewership has been waning in the last few years with 2020’s ratings at 23.64 million and then 2021’s viewership dropping to 10.4 million.
