The Academy is looking for a driver for the 2022 gala that has so far been confirmed as in-person as long as the Omicron variant does not prevent it. He “contacted [Holland] to explore that possibility,” said The Hollywood Reporter.
It was at the end of 2021, during the promotional campaign for ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, when the UK actor declared that he would love to feel the “pressure” of being the presenter of the pageantHowever, he clarified that it would have to be in the medium-term future, since his current agenda has him busy enough to fully carry out an event of this magnitude.
The Academy may succeed in making Holland the Oscar emcee, as his presence would give the awards a much-needed edge. The protagonist is sweeping the box office with ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, which is the only film that has exceeded 1.5 billion box office worldwide after sanitary isolation.
And the nominated are…
We will hear this popular phrase next February 8, at which time we will know the list of nominees to have the golden statuette. On the other hand, the appearance of Holland as an entertainer represents a new generation, which can contribute to the rejuvenation of audience data. The 2021 gala was the least watched in the history of the Oscars, only adding 10.4 million viewers.
For now everything is in versions, although they hope to create new memorable moments for the audience as Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg or Ellen DeGeneres have done in their due awards.
