Neil Patrick Harris, who has been roped in to host Oscars 2015, has revealed that the grand ceremony is mostly filled with losers because there is one who wins out of the five nominees.
The 'How I Met Your Mother' star said the show area is filled with bunch of nervous people, reported E!Online.
"Keep in mind, award shows is a room filled with terribly nervous people who have been through a gauntlet of anticipation, including the red carpet, where they're constantly asked what they'll say if they win...
"And then most of the show, it's all filled with losers. Because out of the five nominees, only one wins. So as the show goes on, more and more of the people are unhappy...
"So that's kind of the game, is to try and figure out how to be fun and casual and confident and keep it moving and keep it a good show, regardless of whether you win or lose, that you're at least enjoying yourself for the evening," he said.
The 41-year-old actor had previously hosted Emmy and Tony awards.
