By now, everyone knows that the 2015 Oscars will be hosted by none other than Neil Patrick Harris. And just in time for the holidays, the first Academy Awards promo has officially been released.
This is the first time the actor and comedian, most known for his stint in the TV show, 'How I Met Your Mother' and a more dramatic role in the critically acclaimed film 'Gone Girl', will be hosting the prestigious awards show. For the brief promo, Harris talked about some last-minute gift giving tips.
In previous interviews, the actor has also admitted that he has been busy trying to prepare for the exciting hosting gig. Not that he actually has a lot of work to do—the actor has extensive experience hosting having hosted the Tonys several times.
When asked about what fans can expect from Harris when it comes to hosting the show--
"I know what I want them not to be. I don't want them to be super derivative of other shows I've done. I don't want it to seem like I'm doing the same hosting gig as the Tonys."
