Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes created history on Monday as shared the stage and hosted the 94th Oscars ceremony.
It is also the first time since 2018 that the Oscars ceremony will have a host and the first time in 35 years it has had three presenters on the stage. The last time this happened was in 1987 when the ceremony was hosted by Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase and Paul Hogan.
The announcement was made on television. “Good morning, America. I’m not sure who thought this was a good idea," the I Feel Pretty actor said. "But I am hosting the Oscars along with my good friends Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall."

First time Academy Awards producer Will Packer said this year’s show “will be about uniting movie lovers,” reported abc 7.
“It’s apropos that we’ve lined up three of the most dynamic, hilarious women with very different comedic styles. I know the fun Regina, Amy and Wanda will be having will translate to our audience as well. Many surprises in store. Expect the unexpected!” the filmmaker added.
The last time the Academy Awards was hosted by a woman was in 2014 with Ellen DeGeneres at the helm.
