Seth will host the show 

Seth has spoken about his plans to address the controversy surrounding sexual harassment in the entertainment industry following the revelations about prominent Hollywood figures including Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey. He told People magazine: "With the monologue, as far as talking about anything in the news right now, it seems like this year more than ever Hollywood has its own internal politics that obviously deserve to be talked about. Going into it our focus is far more on the worlds that make these films and less on anything that's happening in Washington." He also hinted he would discuss these topics in a promo for the ceremony, where he said: "We've got a lot to talk about."
