Who's hosting the 2019 Oscars?
For the first time in 30 years, the Academy Awards will be held without a host. Kevin Hart was originally asked to be the show's host but stepped down after homophobic comments he made 10 years ago resurfaced. Hart apologized for the remarks, saying he's grown as a comedian since then.
In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres earlier this year, Hart said, "Now all of a sudden it's a little darker because the conversation isn't about me hosting the Oscars. The conversation is about Kevin Hart's tweets from 10 years ago and homophobia. I don't wanna step on that stage and make that night about me and my past when you have people that have worked hard to step on that stage for the first time and receive an award."
