Ricky Gervais is reportedly set to host the Academy Awards next year.

The British comic star - who has now appeared in several movies, including "Stardust," "Ghost Town" and can soon be seen in "This Side of the Truth" alongside Jennifer Garner - wowed fans with his appearance at the Emmys on September 21.

Whoopi Goldberg has accepted Oscar's apology.

When her 'The View' co-hosts had pointed out on Monday's episode that she was left out of the montage shown in the 80th Academy Awards, the 52-year-old actress became emotional and teary-eyed for the omission.
