Report: 2019 Oscars Will Have No Host

Why haven’t they asked Hillary? Or 0bama?

 

Breitbart: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is reportedly moving ahead with a host-less 2019 Oscars following the messy ouster of A-list actor-comedian Kevin Hart over the resurfacing of homophobic jokes.

According to Variety, the award show’s producers want several high-profile actors and actresses — who have yet to be determined — to introduce one or more segments throughout the award show, rather than a host keep the ceremony moving along for its entire duration.

Reports of the all-but-settled-Oscars format follow speculation that Hart, at the encouragement of daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, would reclaim his hosting role — a move the Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle star decided against last week.

In an emotional interview last Friday, DeGeneres revealed to Hart that she lobbied the Academy for him to be brought back.

An appreciative Hart said he would reconsider his decision to return as host. By Friday afternoon, Hart had told Variety that it wasn’t going to happen.

“Would I ever do it? No, it’s done. It’s done,” said Hart. “The moment came and it was a blessing and I was excited at the opportunity and I still am. In my mind I got the job, it was a dream job, and things came up that simply prohibited it from happening. But I don’t believe in going backwards.”  more

  1. I haven’t watched that circle jerk in decades. To be clear I’ve never seen nor been a part of said activities but I can’t think of another adjective to describe the Oscars. These are people who knew/know the character of Harvey Weinstein and Roman Polanski and lord knows how many else are sick and twisted pervs and the Hollywood elite applaud these pervs and give them honors!? To hell with the whole lot of them.

    I’d actually watch that. The Notorious RBG don’t care what be written on that just a piece a paper. It says whatever the Notorious RBG says it says. “And this award, also, goes to… Rudolph Valentino!”
