Who is hosting the Oscars in 2023?

American talk show host Jimmy Fallon returns to present the 95th Academy Awards. This will be the third time the 48-year-old has hosted The Oscars, having headed up proceedings in 2022 and 2021.

"Being invited to host the Oscars for a third time is either a great honor or a trap," Kimmel shared. "Either way, I am grateful to the Academy for asking me so quickly after everyone good said no."

Bill Kramer, CEO and Janet Yang, President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said of the host's appointment: "Jimmy is the perfect host to help us recognize the incredible artists and films of our 95th Oscars. His love of movies, live TV expertise and ability to connect with our global audiences will create an unforgettable experience for our millions of viewers worldwide."
