Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Hall have been set to host the 94th Oscars, which is returning to an emcee format. Deadline confirmed the news Monday.The news is expected to be announced officially Tuesday on ABC’s Good Morning America.

ABC is airing the awards ceremony March 27.This year’s Academy Awards are being produced by Will Packer, whose long list of hit TV and film successes includes Girls Trip, which starred Hall among its ensemble.

The trio that includes comedy veterans Sykes and Schumer indicates a plan to get some humor injected into the proceedings.The Oscars are coming off a 2021 telecast that was the lowest-rated ever, hampered by pandemic constraints (the show was held with reduced capacity at Los Angeles’ Union Station instead of its normal home at the Dolby Theatre) and a lineup in movies that were tougher to see in a year with cinemas impacted by Covid restrictions.This year’s Oscars return to full capacity at the Dolby as the latest Omicron variety continues to subside.

Last week, it was confirmed that the Academy will not be requiring shots, just a recent negative test, to attend. Masks also might be jettisoned as Los Angeles County could by then be following the state in removing the mandate for large indoor crowds.
