VIDEO: Kevin Hart on The Oscars: “I’m Over It”

Alex Firer

Today Kevin Hart appeared on Good Morning America where he said regarding the Oscars: "I'm over it", and when given the incredibly soft ball question of wether or not a father should love his gay son (the answer should be yes), Kevin Hart instead talked about how he was judging the public for not seeing what's in his heart. Presumably he said this right before heading back to the unlikely job of being a movie star where yes men will fawn all over him and laugh very loudly when he makes fun of a gay person.

Kevin Hart Mainly Talks About How Bad He Feels For Himself In “Ellen” Appearance

The video is... cringeworthy. I found it hard to watch. During his six minute spiel to the Ellen DeGeneres audience, Kevin Hart covers how hosting the Oscars was on his vision board, covers how he's apologized for the Tweets in the past (not sorry enough to delete them until he thought they could get him into trouble though, you might notice), about how heroic it was of him to step down (again, no mention of his rancid non apology, where he blamed the gay community for not being able to be happy for him, and not a huge fight when Ellen offered to help the Academy hire him back as host). No mention of the gay community or what he will do to help the gay community.

Fearing Controversy, Academy Awards Considering Having No Host At All

Alex Firer

Out of nowhere, the once coveted job of host of the Academy Awards has, in 2018, become a position tied up in contention. After a Hollywood Reporter article was released calling the job one with a toxic air around it, the Academy Awards announced Kevin Hart as the official host. Unfortunately, it turns out Kevin Hart felt a lot of homophobic things -- violent homophobic feelings in some cases, such as his threat to beat his child over the head with a dollhouse if he expressed feminine qualities. Generally not what audiences at home want to imagine as they watch their host cracking jokes about the rhino from Black Panther or whatever. Hart ended up leaving on his own accord after refusing to apologize. Also then he apologized so whatever. But, incredibly enough, over the span of almost a week the Academy Awards have not found a host to replace Hart, and instead are considering doing an awards show with no host at all.

Kevin Hart Steps Down From Oscars Following Homophobic Tweets, Insane Non Apology

Alex Firer

Man oh man. I don't understand where so much of this toxic pride comes from, as this story includes a lot of disgusting, repulsive homophobia, the strangest non apology I've ever read and just a smattering of gross pride. But first some background. As we announced earlier, Kevin Hart was on Wednesday announced as the new host of the Academy Awards following a seemingly overlong and protracted search. For now everyone seemed-- well, okay with it. Kevin Hart doesn't seem like anyone's top choice, but there he was. But then, people discovered something -- Kevin Hart's Tweets from 2011 are monstrously homophobic! Repulsively homophobic, including joking about how disgusted he is with gay people, and how he would violently beat his son if his son if he came out of the closet.

Kevin Hart Set To Host The Oscars

Allie Dietz

Just as the Oscars hosting job was dubbed the “least wanted job in Hollywood,” the academy has announced that actor and comedian Kevin Hart will be taking on the role for the first time in 2019. The 91st ceremony is just three months away and the Hollywood Reporter released an article today describing in detail why no one wants the gig. The article stated that since 2004, “the Academy has struggled to find the right anchor, and nobody has been willing to run the gantlet more than twice.” The last two years were hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and before him, Ellen DeGeneres, Hugh Jackman, Chris Rock, and Jon Stewart all hosted the ceremony twice.

Kevin Hart Dismisses Controversy Over Son’s “Cowboy’s and Indians” Party

Alex Firer

The controversy began when Kevin Hart's wife, Eniko, posted a photo from the party showing guests dressed up in the costumes of cowboys and Indians. Controversy spread, but Kevin Hart himself has brushed it off with a... questionable defense, saying that it was okay when he was a kid, and the Redskins played football that same day. Now, aside from racists, no one really is okay with the fact that the Redskins are named the Redskins. And a lot of awful stuff was okay when Kevin Hart was a kid in the 1960's. It's a questionable defense, but Kevin Hart defended himself on his Sirius XM show, "Straight From the Hart", as excerpted on: "It shows how stupid our world is becoming with opinions.", which is a hell of an opinion to have about dressing up as the race of a people different from you.
