The Oscars 2017 mishap of the wrong envelope is going down in history books for being the greatest mistake made in front of 8 million viewers, watching LIVE all across the globe. It still makes many cringe.
After a few apologies and countless jokes, we accepted the whole fiasco and moved on.
Because of Jimmy’s incredible skills as a host; The Academy has announced, way ahead of time that it is Jimmy Kimmel who will be hosting the 90th Academy Awards. Oscars 2018 will be a blast!
No one can throw a party 90 years in the making like @JimmyKimmel and producers Michael De Luca & Jennifer Todd! Welcome back! #Oscars90 pic.twitter.com/uIlZZ8cWtN

Jimmy Kimmel took to Twitter to announce that he is the chosen one. He thanked the Academy and jokingly tweeted –
Thanks to @TheAcademy for asking me to host The #Oscars again (assuming I opened the right envelope)

Twitter by it’s very virtue, did what it’s best at! Making jokes and cracking us up. Look at how people are embracing Jimmy as the host –
1. That sounds like a fun host.
@TheAcademy @jimmykimmel Oh.. wait… there’s been a mistake. Moonlight will host the Oscar.

2. Wouldn’t that be awesome?
@TheAcademy @jimmykimmel There’s a mistake. Matt Damon, you are the host.

@jimmykimmel @JimmyKimmelLive @TheAcademy I’m just waiting for somebody to interrupt this tweet to tell me that “No, no! Eddie Murphy, you’re the real Host of next year’s Oscars.”
