Comedian and nine-time Oscar host Billy Crystal and Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted the show twice, commiserated about being made obsolete during a less-than-promotional segment on Kimmel’s ABC late…
“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.
