This year’s film awards season is truly interesting with many unexpected shocks, from Bohemian Rhapsody winning the award for Outstanding Motion Picture in the Drama category to A Star is Born only receiving the consolation prize. Now, the Academy’s prestigious Oscars will not have a host for the first time in 30 years.
The Academy will have a hard time finding anyone to replace Kevin Hart.
Just a month ago, comedian Kevin Hart was appointed to host the 2019 Oscars. However, he withdrew from that position after homophobic Tweets from many years ago were “dug up”. grave” returns. This incident has caused a stir in Hollywood in recent days and it seems that the Academy will not find a replacement but will completely abandon the host position.
After Kevin Hart announced he would not be hosting the ceremony, speculation was that another comedian would be replaced. However, it is likely that Oscar will use multiple actors to introduce each part of the show instead of one host throughout.
Leading the Oscars with a musical is a terrible idea.
Even though it’s nearly 2 months away, finding a replacement for this position is not an easy task. With much controversy surrounding Kevin Hart’s departure, whoever takes on this job will be under considerable comparative pressure. Furthermore, no one knows if the “chosen person” has said anything in the past or not.
This is not the first time the Oscars have not had a host. However, no one wants history to repeat itself when the 61st awards ceremony is considered a disastrous failure because of the absence of this position. The 91st Academy Awards ceremony will take place on February 24, 2019.
