On the carpet, the hosts shared their excitement about getting to host Hollywood’s biggest night.
“Getting to host with Regina and Amy — I mean it’s an incredible night,” Sykes toldE! Live on the Red Carpet. “We’re here to celebrate and have a great time.”
Meanwhile, Hall is still pinching herself about the hosting gig. “I think every time I processed it I haven’t,” Hall told E! “Finally, when we started rehearsing on the actual stage, we’re like this is really about to happen. We’re really really excited.”
Schumer, who stars in Hulu’s new showLife & Beth, promised that she wasn’t going to hold back while hosting this year’s show.
In teasers for their hosting gig, the trio has undeniable comedic chemistry.
“Ladies, are you ready to hostthe Oscars?” Schumer, asks her co-hosts as they sit around a counter drinking wine. “Yeah, we’re gonna crush this,” says Hall, with Sykes adding, “We just have to do better than last year’s host.”
“I don’t remember last year’s host…,” says Sykes. “God, they must’ve sucked,” Schumer replies, as Sykes guesses, “I bet they got canceled.”
“Oh wait,” says Hall. “There wasn’t a host last year. Or the year before. Or the yearbefore.”
“Boom! We’re already winning!,” Sykes concludes.
