Jimmy Fallon In Talks To Be 2013 Oscars Host, ABC Upset

Aug 6 2012, 7:23pm CDT | by

Network does not have authority to choose or reject a host

Apparently Jimmy Fallon is being legitimately considered as the host of the 2013 Academy Awards, but the network that will broadcast the event isn't very happy with that idea.

However, even though ABC has the exclusive rights to air the awards show, its hands are largely tied when it comes to decisions about how it will be produced.

The Oscars are presented by the Motion Picture Academy, the former president of which, Tom Sherak, seemed to have a penchant for Fallon to take the top duties next year.

However, Sherak's term as president of the academy has come to an end, and he said he left the discussion wide open for his successor to confirm a host.

The Motion Picture Academy and ABC both have not commented on this issue. Neither have representatives for Fallon or for Lorne Michaels, who was being considered to be the executive producer of the broadcast.

Obviously, ABC would prefer to have someone who is actually on its own network. Someone like Jimmy Kimmel, perhaps.

But, again, the network's deal with the Motion Picture Academy gives it no authority to reject the academy's choice of host.
