Neil Patrick Harris is hosting the Oscars. The news, first reported by Variety and then also BuzzFeed, was confirmed to HuffPost Entertainment by a representative for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. A press release announcing Harris as host for the 87th annual Academy Awards soon followed.
The year is 2015, and that Oscar host is Neil Patrick Harris, but it might as well be February 2009, when the 2008 Oscars were hosted by Hugh Jackman. Harris and Jackman's hosting profiles are eerily similar, a fact both men played up when Harris hosted the Tonys in 2011.
