The rumors have been coming for the past week or so and today the Academy made it official. Chris Rock will be the Oscar host in 2016.  This is not a new gig for Rock who previously hosted the Oscars in 2005, but it will be the first time with the new Oscar producers David Hill and Reginald Hudlin.  Hill has experience with producing live events on TV and Hudlin brings the movie knowledge.  Hudlin has worked with Chris Rock in the past on his TV show Everybody Hates Chris. 

The Oscars have had a long line of disappointing Oscar hosts and Rock's 2005 hosting isn't all that memorable.  Last year the Oscars even got Neil Patrick Harris who has be very successful hosting other award shows and the Oscars somehow made him look boring.  With new producers and Rock on the stage the Academy hopes to have an entertaining show.  

What do you think of Rock as host? Why do you think hosting the Oscar's is such a difficult task?  

The Oscars air on ABC on Sunday February 28th.
