Oscars. Modal verbs

This is the beginning of an article about the Oscars ceremony and the lack of a host for the second time.
Several modal verbs have been used. Can you mention and translate them?
Sunday’s Oscars ceremony will be hostless for the second year in a row. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced via Twitter in January that no host would be forthcoming. Instead, it named a long lineup of quality presenters, from fan favorites like (2020 Oscar nominee) Taika Waititi and Lin-Manuel Miranda to industry legends like Steve Martin and Sigourney Weaver. 
That roster of A-listers should hopefully ensure that the ceremony can still provide something for everyone — or at least the roughly 30 million people who’ll bother to tune in. In fact, it seems likely this hostless streak is the start of a new normal.
It’s been a long time since January 2019, so you might not remember that last year was the first time in two decades that the Oscars had gone without a host. The Academy went host-free when its first choice, Kevin Hart, flounced from the job after coming under social media fire.
