Neil Patrick Harris is hosting the 87th annual Oscars on Feb. 22, Variety reports.
Though it’s the “How I Met Your Mother” actor’s first time hosting the Oscars, Harris did host the Tony Awards four times and the Emmy Awards twice. He has also performed on the Oscars before.
Neil Meron broke the news on Twitter Wednesday.
