Conan O’Brien to Host 99th Oscars for Third Straight Year

The pick signals a push for continuity with the same host-producer team after two steady shows.

Overview

  • The Academy confirmed Conan O’Brien will host the 2027 ceremony for a third year in a row, promoting the choice on X as a “trilogy.”
  • The 99th Academy Awards will take place on March 14, 2027 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, with nominations set for January 21, 2027.
  • Executive producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan will return, with Jeff Ross and Mike Sweeney also back as producers, according to the Academy.
  • ABC will broadcast the show live in the U.S., with streaming on Hulu and distribution in more than 200 countries.
  • Deadline reported ABC’s earlier agreement included only a two-year option for O’Brien, so a third outing required a new push despite a slight ratings dip this year.
