Share:
You may know the actor and comedian from ‘Bottoms’ or ‘Saturday Night Live,’ respectively. This year’s Oscars nominations will be announced by rising stars Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang. The pair are both actors, writers and comedians and will be hopeful that the early-morning hosting gig from Los Angeles isn’t their last association with the Academy Awards.
The Connecticut-born Sennott, 29, studied at NYU and has been a fixture of the New York comedy scene since 2016, both on Twitter and at alt-comedy shows. In 2018 she played the lead role in Emma Seligman's short film Shiva Baby and earned further critical praise when she reprised the part for the feature film adaptation in 2020.
She was most recently seen in Jason Reitman’s comedy Saturday Night, about the first ever taping of Saturday Night Live, playing real-life Seventies SNL comic Rosie Shuster. Yang, meanwhile, is a Saturday Night Live star of the modern era. Born in Brisbane, Australia, he moved with his family to Montreal, Canada and then Aurora, Colorado while still a child. He also attended NYU where he met fellow comedian Matt Rogers. The pair have hosted the culture podcast Las Culturistas together since 2016.
It will be up to Yang and Sennott to reveal whether Wicked does indeed lead the way when they take the stage at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills to announce the nominations in all 23 Academy Award categories at 5:30am local time tomorrow morning.
