We are confident that should he ever see this column, he will find it both confusing and mortifying.
Why would they need to ask this?
Is this an academy of rubes?
Clearly,Matt Berryshould host the Oscars.
Oscar hosts come in all different genres.
Berry would excel at this because of how little he would care about doing it.
There would be no attempts to make it about himself or to show off in front of Hollywood royalty.
He likely would not know who half the nominees and presenters even are.
This is the kind of no-frills hosting that could make for a dignified, refreshing 90-minute Oscar ceremony.
But if you want a bit or two, Berry can deliver.
More recently, Steven Toast has been Berrys go-to persona for public appearances.
Thats right he could be regular human Oscar hostJackie Daytona.
People would freak out!
He could mix drinks onstage.
He could wear a hat.
He could normalize wearing black nail polish to the Oscars.
Whynothave that night hosted by a fictional vampire played by a reluctant celebrity?
Berry, like a KN95 mask, is hard to get.
This is a jarring change in a time of constant jarring changes.
A man with a loud voice who likely doesnt even know what an Oscar looks like.
Give us Matt Berry.
