(UTV|COLOMBO) – This year’s Oscars will be held without an official host – for the first time in 30 years.
The head of ABC Entertainment, which airs the Academy Awards ceremony , said it would instead highlight celebrities presenting the trophies.
Reports had suggested the broadcaster was struggling to fill the role – one of the toughest in US show business.
In December, Comedian Kevin Hart pulled out from hosting the ceremony following a controversy over homophobic tweets.
