The 47-year-old Memento producer, also the President of Affleck and Damon's production company , revealed that she doubts if the two Oscar-winners would be ready to host the entire event, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"I just got a bunch of old shows and went back and looked at how young they were that year they won for Good Will Hunting. They're really excited and supportive of me doing it, so I'm sure I'll enlist them in some creative way or another. I doubt they'll be hosting it, though," she said.

Todd said she and her longtime friend De Luca have a long list for the would-be hosts of 2017 Oscars.

"We just starting thinking about it, obviously, as we hit the ground running. We have our fat list now as we're talking through ideas."
