The 2018-19 Oscar season is almost finished as we’re just days away from the 91st Academy Awards, which has already made headlines for not having a host. But what if the 2019 Oscars secretly does have a host and nobody knows it yet? Peter Knegt, Canada Broadcasting Company journalist and former IndieWire staffer, has introduced an extremely convincing theory on social media that Whoopi Goldberg is this year’s secret Oscars host.
Allow Knegt to explain in his own words: “Whoopi Goldberg’s absence from ‘The View’ since the day after they announced her as an Oscar presenter, plus the fact that she’s the only previous Oscar host listed as a presenter, plus she openly said on ‘The View’ in [December] that she’d be up for hosting = ???”
Knegt’s theory quickly caught on with film journalists, including Variety awards editor Kristopher Tapley and People managing editor Nigel M. Smith.
