Thank goodness the Oscars didn’t have a host. They were bad enough this year without one, with the biggest highlights being brief interludes: Chris Evans’ Captain America moment, the Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper duet, and an Oscar presentation by comedians Awkwafina and John Mulaney.

For about two seconds last December, Kevin Hart was going to host the Oscars. Within days of his announcement, however, he was ambushed by the woke brigades for tweets from a decade ago, for which he had already apologized. After receiving an ultimatum from the academy — apologize or step down — Hart announced in an Instagram post that because he had already apologized before the week’s viral outrage, he would let someone else host. “We feed Internet trolls and reward them,” he said. “I’m not going to do it, man.”
