Speaking toThe Hollywood Reporterthis week, Packer explained how he and his team — the first all-Black team to producethe Oscars— are working to revitalize the awards show.
“You need something other than just a chance to see stars. We have to make a show that is entertaining and appeals to a broad swath of the viewing public,” he said. “My approach is to bring everybody together around the idea of a love for cinema. And so one of the things you’ll see is that not everyone involved with the show may be a movie person.”

“It absolutely means that we are not limited to just folks within the [traditional] movie industry,” he added. “I want to make sure this felt like something that was as wide-ranging and far-reaching as the movies themselves.”
This year’shostsare Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes. Packer teased of what they’re bringing to the table: “I would say Schumer is fearless. Wanda is truthful and in your face, and Regina is a total wild card. They will not be boring. Make no mistake, people watching will say, ‘They’re leading with comedy this year’ — which is a fact.”
