As the annual go-to host for the Tony’s and the Emmy’s, it was only a matter of time before Neil Patrick Harris expanded his resume of hosting gigs to include the Oscars. This year the triple threat will be hosting the 87th Academy Awards and it’s guaranteed to stretch beyond last year’s distributed pizza and celebrity-packed selfie. Harris certainly has the toolbox to pull this thing off with grace, musicality and that Harris charm we all know and love:
First of all the man can sing and knows how to open a show:

Come Oscars night, we’ll be ready to give Harris “the highest of high fives” in the after math of what is to be one of the best host performances we’ve seen at the Academy Awards in a long time.
