"I hope that's not a curse," he said. "I think Allan is probably up there laughing and saying, 'I hope you learned from my mistakes.'"
Ratner revealed that he has "some names in the back of [his] mind" for who might host the awards show, but said that he has not had the chance to discuss it with Mischer yet.
He also insisted that "comedy is the key" for the event, adding: "If people can sit in that theatre and laugh, and people can watch at home around the world and laugh, then I've accomplished what I want to do. The [ratings] will be what they are."
Mischer has also revealed that he is "very very excited" to be working with Ratner because he "radiates ideas" and is "immersed in the film business from so many angles".
