For the first time in 30 years, the Oscar will be held without a host: who will present the statuettes

For the first time in three decades, the Oscars ceremony will be held without a main presenter. On Monday evening, a publicist for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences officially confirmed the information. Previously it was assumed that there would still be a presenter.

Actor and comedian Kevin Hart was announced as the main presenter of the 91st Academy Awards in December, but withdrew due to the episode homophobic tweets and comments, which published 7 years ago, recalls Fox News.

Hart initially agreed to host the ceremony and argued that the conflict situation was created by those who were “looking for reasons for negativity and anger.” But the actor later announced that he would not be hosting the show.

“I'm sorry that I hurt people. I am developing and want to continue to do so. My goal is to unite people, not divide. My love and gratitude goes to the Academy. Hope we can meet again," Hart wrote in December.

“If my son comes home and starts playing with my daughter’s dollhouse, I will break the house over his head and say, “Stop this gayness!”,” was one of the tweets that led to complaints against Hart. More examples were posted by activists who searched for "gay" in the comedian's tweets over the past years. He was also reminded of a 2011 speech in which Hart said he feared his son would grow up gay. The comedian explained these words by saying that these are exclusively his phobias, and he will not love his children less because of his orientation. He apologized for the tweets in December.

The Oscars ceremony will take place on February 24, 2019. It was assumed that Hart would still be replaced, but this did not happen. The previous two ceremonies were hosted by TV host Jimmy Kimmel. For this year's show, the Academy made a requirement that the host must be new.

Earlier Monday, the Academy announced that several celebrities would appear as hostesses and hosts. Tina Fey, Whoopi Goldberg, Brie Larson, Daniel Craig and Jennifer Lopez are among the 13 stars who will present the nominees and present the awards.

Chris Evans, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Charlize Theron, Avkvafina, Amandla Stenberg, Tessa Thompson and Constance Wu will also appear on the scene.

Thirty years ago, in 1989, the Oscars were held for the last time without a main presenter. The show was so poorly received by the public that 17 celebrities, including Julie Andrews and Paul Newman, sent a letter to the Academy, literally trashing the show, which began with an 11-minute musical block instead of the traditional opening with the main showman.

“The sixth Academy Awards was an embarrassment for both the Academy and the entire film industry,” the letter said. “It is unacceptable for the best film work to receive public recognition in such a humiliating way.”
