Variety

Last Friday, The Hollywood Reporter reported that the 94th Academy Awards planned to feature a different host for each hour. Variety reports Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes are finalizing deals to become those hosts and are expected to be introduced Tuesday on Good Morning America. Until this weekend, Oscar producers seriously considered having Jon Hamm as a fourth host and at one point considered having as many as six hosts. "The three comic forces appear to be the only emcees in the mix for the March awards show, despite several scenarios that telecast creatives have been weighing," report Variety's Marc Malkin, Matt Donnelly and Clayton Davis. "Producer Will Packer has been in meetings for weeks trying to find the right recipe for Hollywood’s biggest night. Scenarios that Girls Trip filmmaker (Will) Packer had been toying with included a three-act structure, which would showcase a different pair of emcees every hour. A laundry list of top talent has met with Packer over the past weeks, including Mad Men star Jon Hamm who exited talks over the weekend, according to two additional sources." According to The New York Times, invitations were also extended to previous Oscar hosts, including Chris Rock and Steve Martin.
