Famous comedian Neil Patrick Harris, who became extremely popular thanks to his participation in How I Met Your Mother series, will host the Academy Awards which will be held on February 22, 2015 in Los Dolby Theatre Angeles.

He announced it by tweeting a video of him checking “Host the Oscars” from his “bucket list”.

“I’m in” he said and then the camera turned down to a yellow legal pad which displayed “NPH’s Bucket List.” The first 19 of 20 items were checked, from “Jump out of a plane” to “Write a book.”. The only thing left was to host Academy Awards…

Harris has also previous experience on being a host, since he has presented Tony and Emmy Awards.
