You probably know him best for playing Barney in How I Met Your Mother, but Neil Patrick Harris is also proving to be a popular awards night host.

The actor has already hosted the Emmys twice, as well as the Tonys on four occasions and he's now set to do the Oscars next year.

NPH revealed the news by tweeting, external a video of himself ticking "host the Oscars" from his bucket list.

There were 19 other items on it too, so we've taken a look at what he's done and what he still has to tick off.

We're going to go ahead and assume that he did this.
