CultureJimmy Kimmel to Host the 96th Oscars, Marking His Fourth Appearance

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that Jimmy Kimmel will return as the host for the 96th Oscars, marking his fourth time at the helm of Hollywood’s most prestigious awards ceremony. The upcoming Oscars event is scheduled to be aired globally on March 10, 2024, on Walt Disney-owned ABC and other broadcast outlets.

Kimmel, known for his wit and humor, expressed his enthusiasm humorously in the Academy’s announcement. “I always dreamed of hosting the Oscars exactly four times,” he quipped, indicating both his excitement and the honor he feels in being chosen again for this illustrious role.

This isn’t Kimmel’s first stint as the Oscars host. He previously helmed the 95th Oscars in March, where he delivered a show that focused on reviving the spirit of moviegoing post the COVID-19 pandemic. His performance then was well-received, earning him an Emmy nomination. Kimmel’s experience with the Oscars extends back to 2017 and 2018, where he successfully hosted the ceremonies, known for their blend of humor, poignancy, and celebration of cinematic achievements.

As the host and executive producer of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Kimmel brings a wealth of experience in entertainment and live shows. His previous stints as the Oscars host were marked by his unique ability to navigate the evening with a balance of satire and respect for the art of filmmaking, making him a popular choice for the role.

The decision to bring Kimmel back for the fourth time signals the Academy’s confidence in his ability to deliver a show that balances entertainment with the solemnity befitting the occasion. His return as the host is anticipated to bring a familiar charm and reliability to the event, which annually celebrates the best in film.

The Oscars ceremony has long been a highlight of the Hollywood awards season, and with Kimmel at the helm, the 96th edition is expected to be an event that not only honors the best in film but also provides a night of engaging entertainment for viewers worldwide.
