Randy Thomas, a veteran Oscars announcer who has performed the role ten times, explained the job’s importance.

“There are some things that might happen during the course of our live show,” Thomas said. “Mostly, we prepare in advance by creating alternate announcements. If one thing happens, I say this. If something else happens, I say that.”

The announcer also provides details about winners as they walk to the stage. Thomas elaborated: “That’s my job—to escort them vocally by sharing a tidbit or two about them.”

Nick Offerman’s involvement added a fresh and exciting element to the night.

His distinctive voice, familiar to many from television and film, made the awards ceremony even more engaging.

With his commanding presence and fan-favorite status, Offerman proved to be the perfect choice for the prestigious role.
