Kimmel
has been roped in to serve as the host for the 90th ceremony next year.
Kimmel seems to have impressed
Academy
President
Cheryl Boone Isaacs
with his deft handling of the mix-up during the best picture announcement when "La La Land" was mistakenly declared as the winner over "Moonlight".
Michael De Luca
and
Jennifer Todd
are also returning as the producer's of the 90th award ceremony.
The 90th
Academy Awards will air live on the
ABC Television Network
and broadcast outlets worldwide on March 4, next year.
"
Jimmy
,
Mike
and
Jennifer
are truly an Oscar Dream Team," said Boone Isaacs.
"Mike and Jennifer produced a beautiful show that was visually stunning. And Jimmy proved, from his opening monologue all the way through a finale we could never have imagined, that he is one of our finest hosts in Oscar history," she said.
Kimmel also alluded to the strange finale at the 89th edition but promised an interesting ceremony next year.
"Hosting the Oscars was a highlight of my career and I am grateful to Cheryl, Dawn and the Academy for asking me to return to work with two of my favourite people,
Mike De Luca
and Jennifer Todd," said Kimmel.
"If you think we s*****d up the ending this year, wait until you see what we have planned for the 90th anniversary show!"
"It's not often you get two chances to have a once-in-a- lifetime experience and even more rare to be handed the keys to a party 90 years in the making," said
De Luca
and Todd.
"We always thought the idea that anything can happen on the Oscars was a cliche until we lived it," they said.
