For the second year in a row, the glitzy show will be without a host.
The 2019 ceremony was thrown into chaos when Kevin Hart stepped down from the job at the last minute after a series of homophobic tweets from his accounts reemerged.
The show went on with a number of “mini-hosts” replacing him. Stars including Tina Fey and Amy Poehler took charge of segments of the show instead of having one presenter leading all the way through.

Jimmy Kimmel was the last host to preside over the Oscars with his stint in 2018.
The Oscars take place in Los Angeles tomorrow night.
