Top Contenders for Hosting the 2025 Academy Awards – Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds
The Academy Awards (Oscars) is one of the most prestigious events in film, and speculation around who will host the 2025 ceremony is already making waves. Among the top contenders are Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds.
Why Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds?
The success of Deadpool & Wolverine, which grossed $1.3 billion globally, has boosted Jackman and Reynolds as potential hosts. Jackman has prior experience hosting the Oscars (2009) and the Tony Awards multiple times, while Reynolds, though less experienced in hosting, has great comedic chemistry with Jackman.
A New Approach for Oscar 2025?
There are rumors that the 2025 Oscars may feature multiple hosts, taking turns throughout the evening. Stars like Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, and Dwayne Johnson are also being considered for hosting roles, potentially adding fresh energy to the event.
Potential Oscar Nominations
Both Reynolds and Jackman may also earn Oscar nominations for their roles in Deadpool & Wolverine, with Reynolds in the running for Best Actor and Jackman for Best Supporting Actor.
Hostless Oscars: A Possibility?
The 2025 Oscars could follow the trend of 2019-2021, when the ceremony was hostless. While this format received praise for its flexibility, it also came with risks, as any mistakes by presenters could draw significant backlash. However, ratings improved during these years.
Conclusion
The 2025 Academy Awards is shaping up to be an exciting event with potential changes to the traditional hosting format. Whether Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds will lead the show or not, one thing is certain: it will be an unforgettable night filled with surprises and star power.
