The Rock tweeted that he was the first choice to host the Academy Awards this year and though he “tried hard” to make it work, he ultimately couldn’t do it because he’ll be shooting another Jumanji movie.
Kevin Hart was announced as the host of the Oscars, but he pulled out after backlash to old tweets and there will be no actual host this year.
Ah mahalo dude, I was their first choice to host this year, and my goal was to make it the most fun and entertaining Oscars ever. We all tried hard, but couldn’t make it work since I’m shooting Jumanji. Academy and I were super bummed but maybe one day down the road 🥃 https://t.co/eiiMuBNOzb
