Fans Pitch John Mulaney as Oscar Host Material, Praise ‘Madame Web’ and ‘Field of Dreams’ Bits: ‘He’s Giving Billy Crystal’

The votes are in, and it sounds like Oscar viewers want John Mulaney to host the next ceremony in 2025.

The comedian presented the Academy Award for Best Sound on Sunday. But before naming the winner (“The Zone of Interest”), Mulaney riffed on how important sound is for hearing iconic lines forever memorialized in film — including an infamous one from “Madame Web.”

“You know, for years, movies didn’t have sound and then they figured it out. Some people say that the silent era was the golden era of film. These people are difficult and insane,” Mulaney began. “Without sound, we wouldn’t have been able to hear such classic lines as ‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat,’ ‘I’ll have what she’s having’ and ‘He was in the Amazon with my mother when she was researching spiders just before she died.’”
