Amy Schumer will be co-hosting the upcoming event alongside icons Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall.

It is the first time in three years that the Oscars has a host.

Amy appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show to discuss providing entertainment for the night all while raising awareness on the important issues happening around the world.

“I think there is definitely pressure in one way to be like, ‘This is a vacation, let people forget we just want to have this night,’ but it is like well we have so many eyes and ears on this show,” she told the host.

"I think it’s a great opportunity to at least comment on a couple of things. I have some jokes that kind of highlight the sort of current condition. I mean, there are so many awful things happening that it seems hard to focus on which one."

The actress and comedian revealed she pitched to Oscar producers the idea of having Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appear via satellite while the war rages on in his country.

"I actually pitched, I wanted to find a way to have Zelenskyy satellite in or make a tape or something just because there are so many eyes on the Oscars," Amy added.

"I am not afraid to go there but it’s not me producing the Oscars."
