It really would be the funniest, most poetically just way to kick off next year’s show, wouldn’t it? Speaking to Deadline, President of Entertainment at ABC Craig Erwhich said he was open to the idea of Chris Rock, who was of course on the receiving end of one of the most controversial moments in the television history in March, hosting next year’s Oscars ceremony on March 12.
“My assessment of the Oscars was that it was really a successful year for the show,” Erwhich said. “Obviously there was a lot of controversy, which overshadowed a lot of the positive things about the show, but I was really happy with the program. Even before that very unfortunate moment, the show started off up year over year, and we came back in a big way.”
