It’s just been announced that Gone Girl, How I Met Your Mother, and of course Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog star Neil Patrick Harris will be the host 87th Annual Academy Awards ceremony.

Patrick Harris will take the reins from Ellen DeGeneres, who successfully hosted the previous Oscars. The next awards are set to be handed out at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on February 22, 2015.

While his first time hosting, this of course isn’t his first time appearing at the Oscars. You can see a video of him performing at the 2010 awards below.

But it was the Brad Pitt-produced 12 Years A Slave that took home the big one — Best Picture. Surprisingly, American Hustle was completely shut out, as was The Wolf of Wall Street.
