Kevin Hart, the comedian and actor who stepped down as Oscars host three days after his appointment was confirmed, now seems set to return to the post.

 

In an hour-long interview on Ellen DeGeneres’s chatshow, Hart said he was considering his options following a confused episode in which the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences reportedly asked him to apologise for past homophobic tweets and standup routines or to step down from the role.

 

Hart stood down, claiming he had already apologised, but then offered an apology anyway. A month on, no new host has been announced.

 

In DeGeneres, an openly gay two-times Oscars host held in huge public affection, Hart has a formidable champion.

Why would anyone watch this politicized, PC clap-trap that poses as an award ceremony. 

It goes good with a frozen pizza and lesser expensive red wine, In the USA. God bless Chile and Australia.
