Who is the 2023 Academy Award host? When and where are the 95th Academy Awards?
The Oscar nominations have been released ahead of the awards ceremony next month which will be hosted by a familiar face.
The Academy Awards will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, his third time hosting the awards. Although it was already public knowledge he would be returning, that did not stop a Top Gun-themed hype video to reintroduce himself to the Oscars faithful.
The mission: The Oscars. The host: me? Yes, me.

“Being invited to host the Oscars for a third time is either a great honour or a trap,” Kimmel said in November last year. “Either way, I am grateful to the Academy for asking me so quickly after everyone good said no.”
The ceremony is the 95th in the organisation’s history. Bill Kramer, the CEO of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, said: “All I will say right now is that our anniversary, the 95th Oscars, is extremely important to us.
“I think it sets a really interesting rhythm for our 100th. You see this in the museum. I think we are able to celebrate our legacy while bringing the Academy into the future and the show will reflect that.”
