Neil Patrick Harris lost an Oscars bet with his daughter.
The ‘How I Met Your Mother’ star had to hand over $20 to his four-year-old daughter, Harper, after the award nominations were announced earlier today (15.01.15).
In a video posted on Twitter, he said: "The Oscar nominations just came out this morning and that could only mean one thing.
"I just lost $20. Here you go, Harper … I had my money on you Sven Yorgen Finster. Best credit design of a foreign language film."
The 41-year-old actor – who also has Gideon, 4, with his husband, David Burtka – is hosting this year’s ceremony and previously revealed that the job is a "dream come true".
He said: "It is truly an honour and a thrill to be asked to host this year’s Academy Awards. I grew up watching the Oscars and was always in such awe of some of the greats who hosted the show.
"To be asked to follow in the footsteps of Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal, Ellen Degeneres, and everyone else who had the great fortune of hosting is a bucket list dream come true."
Neil is hoping to make the event fun for all those in attendance, even if they lose out on their prizes.
He shared recently: "Because out of the five nominees, only one wins. So as the show goes on, more and more of the people are unhappy… so that’s kind of the game, is to try and figure out how to be fun and casual and confident and keep it moving and keep it a good show, regardless of whether you win or lose, that you’re at least enjoying yourself for the evening."
