Ceremony information

Due to the mixed reception and low ratings of the previous year's ceremony, producers David Hill and Reginald Hudlin declined to helm the upcoming festivities.[9] Actor and comedian Chris Rock told Variety regarding if he'll return to host, "Someone else will do it." Although Rock expressed interest in producing the show saying, "Do they even have a producer yet? I’ll produce."[10] In November 2016, AMPAS recruited Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd as producers of the ceremony.[11] "What a talented team,” AMPAS president Cheryl Boone Isaacs said in a press release announcing the decision, “Mike and Jennifer have a great working relationship and a tremendous love and respect of film, and will surely draw from their vast experience to create an exceptional and unforgettable event for movie fans everywhere."[12]
