Kevin Hart says he is still thinking about hosting the 2019 Oscars after fellow comedian Ellen DeGeneres told him she reached out to the Academy of Motion Pictures on his behalf and they said they still wanted him for the job. “I called the Academy today because I really want you to host the Oscars,” DeGeneres said. “We want him to host, whatever we can do, we’d be thrilled,” DeGeneres said The Academy told her. “I just got a call from the Academy and that call basically said, ‘Kevin, apologize for your tweets of old or we’re going to have to move on and find another host,’” Hart said in the December video. “Leaving here, I’m promising you I’m evaluating this conversation … Let me assess, just sit in the space and really think.”The Academy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
