Ellen Degeneres has hosted the Emmys & Grammys before, but she hasn't done the Big O yet!
So, it seems her time has come to show what she's really got for the Oscars next year in February.
The producer of the Oscars, Laura Ziskin says: Ellen was born to host the Academy Awards, I can really tell she is going to set the bar very high for herself and therefore for all of us involved in putting on the show.
As for Ellen, she says: When Laura Ziskin called, I was thrilled, there's two things I've always wanted to do in my life. One is to host the Oscars. The second is to get a call from Laura Ziskin. You can imagine that day's diary entry.
