Neil Patrick Harris has been tapped to host next year's Oscars.
Organizers announced Wednesday that the versatile actor, whose credits include 'How I Met Your Mother,' current box office hit 'Gone Girl' and a Tony-winning turn in 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch,' will emcee the 87th Academy Awards.
Harris also shared the news Wednesday with a humorous video showing him getting a phone call, saying 'I'm in!' and then crossing 'Host the Oscars' off his bucket list.

No stranger to hosting awards ceremonies, Harris presided over the Tony Awards four times (2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013) and the Emmys twice (in 2009 and 2013). He has performed on the Academy Awards telecast previously, but this will be his first time hosting Hollywood's big night.
The 87th Academy Awards will be handed out on Feb. 22, 2015. This year's ceremony was hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, with '12 Years a Slave' winning the Oscar for best picture.
