Holding a record

It´s time to answer the question that I posed on one of the previous posts: who holds the record of hosting the Academy Awards Ceremony the highest number of times? If you´ve done some research, I´m sure you´ve answered it correctly: Bob Hope is the right answer: he hosted (or co-hosted) the Academy Awards eighteen times.                                                         

One of the readers of the blog, Aitziber, has bothered to learn more about the life of this actor and thanks to her, we´ve discovered that his centenary (29^th May 2003) was declared “Bob Hope Day” in 35 states of the USA, which underlines the relevance of this actor, so it´s no wonder that he was chosen to host the Oscars on so many occasions!
