Barney Stinson of How I Met Your Mother fame is going to … wait for it … host next year’s Oscars. Yes folks, actor Neil Patrick Harris will be anchoring the Academy Awards for the year 2015.

As soon as the announcement was made, people started showering Neil PH with congratulatory messages. This has made the actor a bit jittery.

Talking to an American magazine he said, “I hope I can keep it smart. I’ve always loved the Oscars and have great respect for its history and the gowns and the classiness of it.”

History and gowns! Get a grip man. You are taking it way too seriously.
