The 10 best and worst hosts in Oscars history

For better or for worse, the Oscars are responsible for some of the biggest pop culture moments around the world (including last year’s infamous slap). We’re more connected than we’ve ever been in our current internet age, but as most of us participate in our own nice online communities, monoculture moments like the Academy Awards are few and far between. While less viewers tune in to watch the ceremony in the streaming era, the memes and social commentary that stem from the awards show prove the Oscars are still relevant enough for us talk about with our friends in the weeks after the broadcast.

That being said, the Academy Awards would be far less interesting without hosts making memorable moments, both good and bad. This year, Jimmy Kimmel will return to host the Oscars after hosting previously in both 2017 and 2018. Time will tell if his latest gig is as memorable as the last, and where he’ll rank among history’s Oscar hosts. In honor of the upcoming ceremony, let’s take a look at some of the best and worst hosts to ever grace the Academy Award’s stage.
