The Academy is still on the lookout for a host for the 2025 Oscars ceremony, as both Jimmy Kimmel and John Mulaney have reportedly turned down offers to lead the prestigious event. Kimmel, who has hosted the Oscars four times in the past, declined the opportunity to helm next year's ceremony, which is scheduled to take place on March 2 and will be broadcast on ABC. Despite scoring high viewership ratings during his previous stints as host, Kimmel opted out of returning for the upcoming event.

On the other hand, John Mulaney, who recently received praise for his appearances at the 14th annual Governors Awards and this year's Oscars ceremony, has also declined the hosting role for the 2025 Oscars. Fans online have expressed their enthusiasm for Mulaney potentially hosting the Academy Awards, praising his understanding of film and ability to craft effective jokes about the industry. With no confirmed host yet for the 2025 Oscars, the search continues for a suitable candidate to lead the prestigious event next year.
