The 91st annual Academy Awards Ceremony, better known as the Oscars, are right around the corner, but no host is in sight yet. Eiza González addressed the situation by taking to Twitter to share who she believes should host this year’s ceremony and why. The Welcome to Marwen actress shared a hilarious video of Jimmy Kimmel’s sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez, at last year’s red carpet right before the Oscars. ”I say @iamguillermo should host the Oscars" she wrote. "Here’s why. @theacademy.”

In the clip, Guillermo asks A-listers, including Oscar winner Allison Janney and actress Saoirse Ronan, to read his hilarious speeches out loud. He then asks Helen Mirren and Oscar Issac to sign his DVDs, even though they weren’t in the movies he's asking them to autograph. Guillermo eventually gets a few minutes with Eiza where he awkardly dips her and casually kisses her underarm. But the funniest part was yet to come as Guillermo suddenly pulled a bottle of tequila out from under his feet. The talk show personality gave Gael Garcia, Kelly Ripa, and Eiza herself a shot of the drink, which came directly from his shoes. That’s right – his shoes!
