ABC Entertainment President Karey Burke has just confirmed that there will officially be no host for the 2020 Oscars. Burke confirmed the decision during her annual remarks at the Television Critics Association conference this morning. Apparently this year’s show will be the same as last year’s; A big musical opening number, big stars to present individual awards and additional musical numbers. Last year’s 12% increase in viewership seems to have convinced The Academy and ABC that host-less was the way to go. The last time there was someone hosting the Oscars it was in when Jimmy Kimmel took the reigns and the telecast became lowest watched Oscars since the ‘80s. Despite no host or emcee, last year’s telecast clocked in at 3 hours and 23 minutes. The 92nd Academy Awards will air live on ABC on Sunday, Feb. 9. Contribute Hire me
