David Hill & Reginald Hudlin to produce 2016 Oscars telecast

The 2016 Oscars telecast will be produced by first-timers DAVID HILL and REGINALD HUDLIN.
The new duo has been announced as the successors to Neil Meron and Craig Zadan, who have taken charge of Hollywood’s big night for the past three years.
Hill is a sports programming expert who recently served as the senior executive vice-president of 21st Century Fox, and Hudlin, who received a 2012 Oscar nomination as a producer of Django Unchained, previously produced the sixth annual Governors Awards, which were held in November (14). He becomes only the second African-American to produce the Academy Awards, following Quincy Jones.
Hill and Hudlin now have to pick a host for the awards show, which will be broadcast live around the world on 28 February (15).
Neil Patrick Harris took charge of the 2015 Oscars.
