Despite the drama that the Academy Awards experiencesd last year in terms of the show’s producer, Don Mirscher has been a figure the production can count on.

Mischer has been picked to be the show’s director for a third consecutive year.

Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the show’s producers, chose Mischer to direct the 85th annual broadcast.

“For a very long time, we had always hoped to work with Don Mischer,” Zadan and Meron said in a release. “His talent and reputation are unsurpassed and we’re so happy he will be our collaborator on the 85th Academy Awards.”

Mischer has an impressive resume that includes the direction of Obama’s inauguration, the Kennedy Center Honors and several Super Bowl halftime shows.

Mirscher’s previous attempt at directing the Oscars earned eight Emmy nominations, the most for any television special.

“I am so very excited to be directing the Academy Awards again this year and to be working with creative producers like Craig and Neil,” Mischer said. “All of us at Don Mischer Productions are also thrilled to be producing the Oscar pre-show, and most significantly to continue a wonderfully gratifying relationship with the Academy.”

The Oscars are set to air on Feb. 24 on ABC networks.
