Many film critics and Oscars fans online have spilled their suggestions. Also, actors who will be at the Oscars have put forward a few names to do the job. Former hosts like Billy Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Kimmel may take the stage, or we may see new faces like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have been hosting Golden Globes for several years and have received rave reviews too. Jordan Peele and Keegan Michael, Hannah Gadsby and Patton Oswalt are also among the popular suggestions.
