From deciding based on the nominations that seeing Dunkirk was probably a good idea (“I gotta see this Dunkirk. It seems like a lot of people like it”) to charmingly mispronouncing _Get Out_ star Daniel Kaluuya’s name (“He know his name,”) Haddish was non-stop fun during a usually pretty snooze-worthy presentation. While the nominees will have to wait until March 4 to find out whether or not they are winners, the clear winner today was Haddish, something the Internet emphatically sounded off on on social media, with many calling for Haddish to get an award just for presenting the nominations or for this to be her bid for hosting the ceremony next year. > [](https://twitter.com/hunteryharris/status/955798608183484416) > [](https://twitter.com/oureric/status/955796936531038209) > [](https://twitter.com/abbygardner/status/955797714314366978) > [](https://twitter.com/ChrisKnightfilm/status/955800399331573765) > [](https://twitter.com/SopanDeb/status/955799296451993600) > [](https://twitter.com/WitherspoonC/status/955814393706680320) Watch Haddish present all the nominations in full below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5114506/tiffany-haddish-oscar-nominations-announcement/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5114506/tiffany-haddish-oscar-nominations-announcement/"},"headline":"The Internet Basically Wants Tiffany Haddish to Get an Academy Award for Announcing the Oscar Nominations","datePublished":"2018-01-23T16:19:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:58.766Z","description":"\"Tiffany Haddish should henceforth announce all Oscar nominations\"","url":"https://time.com/5114506/tiffany-haddish-oscar-nominations-announcement/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","awards","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltead6873e2c6689d6/6988f92d22fb852390e24785/tiffany-haddish-internet-favorite.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltead6873e2c6689d6/6988f92d22fb852390e24785/tiffany-haddish-internet-favorite.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Celebrity Sightings in New York City - August 15, 2017","caption":"Celebrity Sightings in New York City - August 15, 2017","creditText":"James Devaney—GC Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5114506/tiffany-haddish-oscar-nominations-announcement/","name":"The Internet Basically Wants Tiffany Haddish to Get an Academy Award for Announcing the Oscar Nominations"}}]}] ```
