Oscars Viewers Want to Know: Why Isn’t John Mulaney Hosting?
Forget John Cena’s naked romp or Jimmy Kimmel battling Trump (again), the real winner of the Oscars was actor and comedian John Mulaney—and now the internet is demanding his rightful place as the award show’s 2025 host.
Fresh from his presenter spot at this year’s ceremony for Achievement in Sound—where he panned those who claim the silent movie era is the “golden era of film” while spilling shade on a line from Madame Web–a search of X shows scores of users demanding the Oscars bring back the Netflix star next year.
“Without sound, we wouldn’t have been able to hear such classic lines as ‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat,’ ‘I’ll have what she’s having’ and ‘He was in the Amazon with my mother when she was researching spiders just before she died,’” Mulaney said to a chorus of laughs.
