This Sunday, the 98th annual Academy Awards<\/a> will bring Hollywood\u2019s shiniest stars together to finally determine who among them did this year\u2019s best moviemaking. Today, the Academy announced its final lineup of presenters \u2014 including Rose Byrne and Nicole Kidman \u2014 alongside one truly earth-shattering revelation<\/a>: Comedian, actor, musician, and vocal maestro Matt Berry<\/a> will be this year\u2019s announcer. We at Vulture have long been pushing for Berry to appear in more things, including the Oscars ceremony<\/a>, for literally years.<\/p>\n Berry\u2019s singular talent for pronunciation has made him something of a walking meme; his talents have already reinvented the way people think about words like \u201cNew York City\u201d<\/a> and \u201cYES!\u201d<\/a> In addition to the Oscars, we\u2019ve previously lobbied for him to host every reality-TV show<\/a>, serve as an Olympics commentator<\/a>, and be crowned the spokesperson for Ocean Spray cranberries<\/a>. His inclusion in this weekend\u2019s Conan O\u2019Brien\u2013hosted ceremony suggests that this year\u2019s Oscars will fully embrace some much-needed levity in these trying times. Still, this news has sparked more questions than answers: Will Berry announce the category names? Will he appear on-camera? And most important, will he be given artistic license to pronounce words as he sees fit?<\/p>\n Now that we are days away from our dreams coming true, we\u2019ve gotten far too excited and assembled a list of all the names and other Oscars-related terminology that we are most excited for Berry to say, presented in the form of how we anticipate he will say them:<\/p>\n \u2022 \u201cAnd now, please WELcome your hOST\u201d<\/p>\n \u2022 Dolllby Theatre, Los Ahngeleeese<\/p>\n \u2022 Neee-cole Kiiiiiidman<\/p>\n \u2022 Zoe Salda\u00f1\u00f1\u00f1\u00f1\u00f1\u00f1a<\/p>\n \u2022 RRRRRRRobert Downey JUN-ior<\/p>\n \u2022 Chase InFINiti<\/p>\n \u2022 Delroy Lindo [appreciative growl]<\/p>\n \u2022 Vvvvagner Mouuuura<\/p>\n \u2022 Leeeeewis Pullman<\/p>\n \u2022 Bill PullMAN<\/p>\n \u2022 Co-NAN OH BRIAN<\/p>\n \u2022 Channing TAY-TUM<\/p>\n \u2022 Gwyneth PAL-trow<\/p>\n \u2022 EWWWan Mack GreGOR<\/p>\n \u2022 \u201cComing up, a performance from kayPOP Demon HUNters\u201d<\/p>\n \u2022 SIGOURNEIIGHHHH [goes real low] Weaver<\/p>\n \u2022 Kieran Culkin<\/p>\n \u2022 \u201cWhen we return, the award for Best ACT-TOR\u201d<\/p>\n \u2022 KU-mail Nan-GEEANNY<\/p>\n \u2022 Mar-TAY Suprem\u00e9<\/p>\n \u2022 Price Water House Co-Oopers<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
