Oscar. The awards, which will take place on February 18, 2023 at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, will honor the best in film, television, commercials and documentaries, however there have already been some pushback due to a lack of women represented among them. titles of the year
In a statement, DGA President Beth McCarthy-Miller said she is “thrilled to have secured Judd for this special anniversary of the DGA Awards that is 75 years in the making. Never underestimate the power of a Chipotle gift card,” McCarthy-Miller said. “Judd is a comedic genius who can be counted on to keep things moving, and as a host, he doesn’t have to worry about being played off stage.”
In a typically cheeky response to his rehire, Apatow stated that he is “very honored to be presenting the DGA Awards for the fourth time. If I were ever nominated, I would stop.”
It’s been a month of big news for the Apatows, following the announcement that their daughter, “Euphoria” star Maude Apatow, will make her New York stage debut in the full-length Off-Broadway hit “Little Shop of Horrors” on February 7.
