=== Academy Awards host === Hope was [[Master of Ceremonies|host]] of the Academy Awards ceremony 19 times between 1939 and 1977. His supposedly-feigned desire for an Oscar became part of his act.{{sfn|Grudens|2002|p=154}} While introducing the 1968 telecast, he quipped, "Welcome to the Academy Awards, or, as it's known at my house, [[Passover]]."{{sfn|McCaffrey|2005|p=56}} Although he was never nominated for an Oscar, the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]] honored him with four honorary awards, and in 1960 presented him with the [[Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award]], given each year as part of the Oscars ceremony.
