With the Oscars seeking a host for this year’s ceremony, Andrew Garfield has an idea: Tom Holland. It was announced last week that the Academy Awards will have its first host in three years. While several people have reportedly been spoken to about the gig, Garfield told People that he’s endorsing his fellow Spider-Man in Holland.

“I think Tom is so charismatic and such an incredible performer and actor, and I think he’d be an incredible Oscars host,” Garfield said. “I think he would be absolutely brilliant. And I would certainly be curious to see how he was as an Oscars host. He’s so charming and he’s such a showman and he’s such a song-and-dance triple-threat actor. I would be very, very confident in his confidence.”

Holland, for his part, has said that he’s interested, telling THR last month, “Yeah, if they ask me to, I would, and it would be very fun. I would really enjoy it.”

While Garfield may not be up for hosting the Oscars, he is considered one of the frontrunners for a nominee for his work as Jonathan Larson in tick…tick…BOOM!. The nominees will be announced on February 8th. No word on when the host will be named.
