Actor Neil Patrick Harris, who will host the Oscars in 2015, is ready with a list of things for the ceremony.

The "How I Met Your Mother" fame actor shared his ideas during an interview with a radio channel, Sirius XM, reports contactmusic.com.

"Gaga, Adele. That would be cool, Pink? We could do circus things," said the 41-year-old star when asked about his dream duet partner for the show.

Harris has performed at the event in the past, but this will be his first time as host. The actor has hosted the Tony Awards last year and Emmy in 2013 and 2009.

"I want to do something different for the Academy Awards and don't want to be super derivative of other shows. I would also like to honour the gravity of the Oscars without getting heavy and boring," he said.
