Who is hosting the 2024 Oscars?
Jimmy Kimmel is hosting tonight, marking his fourth time helming the awards show.
Ahead of the show, Kimmel opened up to "Good Morning America" about why he decided to return as host.
"There were some really good movies," he said in an interview that aired March 7. "I think they're all really good. I saw them all."
"It's a big part of why I decided to host the show this year, because I do know that there are movies that people have actually seen, which makes it a lot easier to make jokes about."
The talk show host's wife, screenwriter Molly McNearney, also returns as one of the ceremony's executive producers for the second consecutive year.
Kimmel previously hosted the 89th Academy Awards in 2017, the 90th Academy Awards in 2018 and the 95th Academy Awards in 2023.
