Watch Neil Patrick Harris' First Oscars Promo
Neil Patrick Harris has a last-minute gift idea for you: Tell your family to watch him host the Oscars. ABC released the first promo for the 2015 Oscars on Christmas Day, and though that’s a pretty lame present — sorry, NPH — the ceremony will mark Harris’ first time as host. When the gig was confirmed back in October, Harris said that hosting the show “is a bucket list dream come true.” The Oscars air on ABC on Feb. 22, 2015.
