The 95th Academy Awards is just around the corner and after last year&rsquo;s infamous slapping incident, it was vital for the academy to choose the right host. That&rsquo;s why in the new Oscars trailer it was confirmed that Jimmy Kimmel will return for the third time to host this year&rsquo;s Oscars.
In the &ldquo;Top Gun: Maverick&rdquo; inspired promo, Kimmel, Jon Hamm, and Charles Parnell re-create the famous scene from the 6-time Oscar-nominated movie while addressing the issue of struggling to find a host for the ceremony post the slap, with Kimmel saying &ldquo;I have to admit, I wasn&rsquo;t expecting to be asked to host again&rdquo; and Hamm replying &ldquo;We asked a lot of people before you&rdquo; before listing a very long list of celebrities who supposedly refused to host the show.

The trailer also includes the nine-time Oscars host Billy Crystal, who shows up by the end of the trailer and advices Hamm and Parnell to let Kimmel host this edition, and when he was asked if there&rsquo;s a possibility of him hosting, he answers jokingly with, &ldquo;I have a dentist appointment&rdquo;.
The 2023 Oscars ceremony airs live Sunday, March 12th.
