This weekend, Kevin Hart and Allen talked on the show about his retirement as Oscar host, and despite Allen's support, he eventually chose to give up.
Previously, Kevin Hart, who quit the Oscar host position due to "homophobic remarks" dug up by netizens, has a new supporter - 2-time Oscar host, gay Alan de Janice himself.
In early December, after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that Kevin had been the host of the 2019 Oscars, some of his old pushes surfaced, including anti-gay rhetoric and abusive language. Within days, Kevin went through a series of actions that recorded ins videos trying to dispel the controversy, to deleting old tweets, to recording videos refusing to apologize, to apologizing on Twitter, to resigning as moderators.
The AMERICAN VERSION OF "Untouchable"
On Friday, Allen gave Kevin an hour on her show to promote his new film "Untouchable" and to explain why he was not an Oscar host. Kevin told her that the opportunity to host the Oscars in the beginning was "very unreal" and that "the Oscars were a top priority because there were few blacks who could be the hosts, and I would have been the fourth." So when I was chosen, after hearing a whole day of congratulations and celebrations, I was suddenly struck by my past remarks on social networks, and the next morning oh, less than 24 hours!
I started out thinking, 'I'm going to have to ignore all this because it's been a decade, and I've apologized before.' Kevin called what happened afterwards "vilified" and said there were "no homophobic bones" in his body. "I was an immature comedian, I'm different now, I've grown up, I've been cultured, I understand now," he explains.
"I know you're not that kind of person because I know you," Allen said after Kevin explained, telling the audience that she personally called the academy in the hope that Kevin would still be the host, and said that the academy gave a positive response, "At that time, you called me when there was an accident and told me that you were going to talk to me, but not until it was time to come to my show." I called the Academy today because I really want you to host the Oscars.
The college's response was, 'Oh my God, we want him to preside, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us, the wrong direction, maybe we said something wrong.' They said, 'How can we get him back?' You're one of the smartest and funniest people I know, and if you go on stage, we'll see elegance, style, hilarity, and your growth. There are too many sunspots on the Internet, don't pay attention to them, there are a small number of people who will be very noisy, but there are more people who still love you and want you to host. ”
Kevin thanked her for her kind words, but didn't believe that the situation was really so good now, "This is to destroy me!" He said. And this Saturday, in response to this remark on the Ellen show, Kevin sent another ins (really love social networks). "Whenever we forget, we all learn, we all grow, we learn more," he wrote, "and we can't change without understanding what growth means."
Latest Update: According to Deadline, Kevin Hart confirmed that he does not host the Oscars.
Before there was a cool "most popular movie" award, and then came this one, this year's Oscar is simply fateful.
