Andy Samberg said of the hosting gig: “I’m super excited to host the Movie Award. I grew up watching the show and a lot of the past hosts are heroes of mine. Plus my friends and I were writers for the show prior to working at SNL, so it will be a sweet and satisfying homecoming. I can’t wait to act really important.”
