Kimmel has been roped in to serve as the host for the 90th ceremony next year.
Kimmel seems to have impressed Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs with his deft handling of the mix-up during the best picture announcement when "La La Land" was mistakenly declared as the winner over "Moonlight".
Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd are also returning as the producer's of the 90th award ceremony, Boone Isaacs announced today.
The 90th Academy Awards will air live on the ABC Television Network and broadcast outlets worldwide on March 4, next year.

"Mike and Jennifer produced a beautiful show that was visually stunning. And Jimmy proved, from his opening monologue all the way through a finale we could never have imagined, that he is one of our finest hosts in Oscar history," she said.
Kimmel also alluded to the strange finale at the 89th edition but promised an interesting ceremony next year.
"Hosting the Oscars was a highlight of my career and I am grateful to Cheryl, Dawn and the Academy for asking me to return to work with two of my favorite people, Mike De Luca and Jennifer Todd," said Kimmel.
"It's not often you get two chances to have a once-in-a- lifetime experience and even more rare to be handed the keys to a party 90 years in the making," said De Luca and Todd.
"We always thought the idea that anything can happen on the Oscars was a cliche until we lived it," they said.
