All three entertainers have previous awards show hosting experience. Hall hosted the 2019 BET Awards, Schumer hosted the 2015 MTV Movie Awards and Sykes hosted the 2018 GLAAD Media Awards.

\"This year's show is all about uniting movie lovers,\" said Will Packer, who is producing the telecast. \"It's apropos that we've lined up three of the most dynamic, hilarious women with very different comedic styles. I know the fun Regina, Amy and Wanda will be having will translate to our audience as well. Expect the unexpected!\"

The last time there were at least three hosts was 35 years ago at the 1987 Academy Awards when Chevy Chase, Goldie Hawn and Paul Hogan emceed.

The only time there have been multiple women hosting was 45 years ago at the 1977 Academy Awards when Ellen Burstyn and Jane Fonda hosted alongside Warren Beatty and Richard Pryor.

Hall is known for appearing in the \"Scary Movie\" franchise as well as films like \"The Best Man,\" \"Girls Trip,\" \"Support the Girls\" and \"Little\" as well as shows like \"Ally McBeal,\" \"Black Monday\" and \"Nine Perfect Strangers.\"

Schumer is a stand-up comedian known for the comedy series \"Inside Amy Schumer,\" which won her an Emmy Award in 2015, as well as for starring in movies like \"Trainwreck,\" \"Snatched,\" \"I Feel Pretty\" and \"The Humans.\" She can next be seen in the Hulu show \"Life & Beth.\"

Sykes is a stand-up comedian known for starring on shows like \"The New Adventures of Old Christine,\" \"Black-ish,\" \"The Upshaws\" and \"Q-Force.\" She hosted an eponymous talk show from 2009 to 2010 and won an Emmy Award in 1999 for her writing on \"The Chris Rock Show.\"
