No award show is ever truly complete without a host who can juggle humor and turn a tense, nail-biting evening into a comedy carnival. This year's Academy Awards was a full-on spectacle, not just because of the star-packed battle that had Oscar hopefuls losing sleep, but thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, who transformed the usual black-and-white jokes into a riot of colors. But with Kimmel bowing out of the hosting spotlight for the next Oscars, fans have already picked the perfect replacement to keep the seat cozy and the crowd cozier. But for a twist, this nominee is swapping Oscar-ville for Emmy-land!

Selena Gomez traded in her VMA sparkle this year for a spot at the Emmys, only to find herself in the Academy Awards host race with her Only Murders in the Building pals, Martin Short and Steve Martin. A fan recently shared a hilarious moment from their 2024 Emmy appearance, where the trio had the audience in stitches for a few minutes straight. At the 76th Emmy bash, Gomez served the purr-fect “childless cat ladies” joke, while her co-stars brought their A-game with humor, worthy of any Oscar-hosting gig.

The trio hit the stage to present the first award of the night for Best Supporting Actor. But before diving into the nail-biting reveal, they delivered a comedy knockout with a cheeky Taylor Swift reference, fresh off her political endorsement. Gomez sprinkled in some sly shout-outs, while her co-stars kept the humor rolling, turning the audience section into a laughter-packed riot. The sparkles were a given, but the comedic fireworks were the real showstopper.

Even though Gomez and the Only Murders in the Building crew were busy perfecting their Oscar-worthy snubbed pout for the Emmys, landing in the host race from the Emmys to the Oscars definitely was not on their bingo cards for this year.

When Jimmy Kimmel bowed out of hosting the 2025 Oscars, many worried if the next host could live up to his comedic brilliance. Since it is not just about cracking jokes but about steering the show with the right humor, fans pondered new nominees until the 2024 Emmys. After seeing Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin bring their A-game with humor that practically defined the Emmys, fan theories started spinning, with many insisting that this trio should take the reins for the Oscars without a second thought.

Fans were captivated by the chemistry the trio brought to the stage, which is no surprise given their on-screen magic. In fact, some even think the chemistry makes their on-screen presence so iconic. 

While a few skeptics questioned their comedic timing, the majority of fans embraced the idea with enthusiasm. With few reasons to doubt why the Academy Awards should not focus on this trio next season, and with Gomez already creating Oscar buzz before even being considered for the hosting gig, who better to take the reins than someone poised to shape the show?
