"Berry's singular talent for pronunciation has made him something of a walking meme; his talents have already reinvented the way people think about words like "New York City" and "YES!" In addition to the Oscars, we've previously lobbied for him to host every reality-TV show, serve as an Olympics commentator, and be crowned the spokesperson for Ocean Spray cranberries."
"His inclusion in this weekend's Conan O'Brien-hosted ceremony suggests that this year's Oscars will fully embrace some much-needed levity in these trying times. Still, this news has sparked more questions than answers: Will Berry announce the category names? Will he appear on-camera? And most important, will he be given artistic license to pronounce words as he sees fit?"
The Academy announced Matt Berry as the announcer for the 98th annual Academy Awards ceremony, hosted by Conan O'Brien. Berry, known for his comedic talents and singular pronunciation abilities, has become something of a cultural phenomenon for his unique way of saying words. His inclusion alongside presenters like Rose Byrne and Nicole Kidman is expected to bring levity to the ceremony. Berry's distinctive vocal style has made him internet-famous for reinventing how people perceive common words and phrases. The announcement has generated excitement and speculation about whether Berry will announce category names, appear on-camera, and whether he'll be given creative freedom with his pronunciations.
