What a roster! Over the past 20 years, celebrities including Whoopi Goldberg, Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Kimmel have hosted the Academy Awards.
While there is no shortage of incredible stars who have taken the stage at Hollywood’s biggest night, there have also been years where the Oscars chose to go without any emcee at all.
In 2019, Kevin Hart stepped down from his hosting duties at the 91st Academy Awards after a series of his past homophobic tweets resurfaced online.
“I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year’s Oscar’s….this is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists. I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past,” the comedian, 43, tweeted in December 2018. “I’m sorry that I hurt people.. I am evolving and want to continue to do so. My goal is to bring people together not tear us apart. Much love & appreciation to the Academy. I hope we can meet again.”
Hart made headlines earlier that month when the since-deleted controversial remarks, which he wrote in 2011, were discovered by fans. “Yo if my son comes home & try’s 2 play with my daughter’s doll house I’m going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ‘stop that’s gay,” the Jumanji star tweeted at the time. (Hart shares son Hendrix and daughter Heaven with ex Torrei Hart and son Kenzo with wife Eniko Parrish.)
Prior to backing out of the show, the Academy requested that Hart apologize for his comments. However, Hart shared that he initially “passed” on the apology because he had “addressed” the tweets several times before and did not want to “reward” the “internet trolls.”

Hello, and welcome to Oscars Sunday on Deadline. Tonight we gather as another lengthy awards season draws to a close, and what a bizarre season it has been. Before the year started, who would’ve thought a pic like A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once, a scrappy sci-fi comedy adventure about an Asian-American family, would go from outside underdog to odds-on front-runner? The film debuted last year out at SXSW but has stuck around, charming its way onto screens across the world and picking up top honors from all four major guilds — a sweep only four other films have ever achieved. But can it win Best Picture? That’s perhaps the biggest question still at play this evening.
