Kevin Hart Sends Oscars Brutal Message After They Reportedly Crawl Back You’d think the Academy Awards were run by Republican Sen. Mitt Romney, the way the Oscars bosses have reportedly flip-flopped on their virtue signalling. First, comedian Kevin Hart was tapped to host the Oscars. Then he was out due to old tweets that he’d apologized for previously. Then there was word that they wanted him back in. During a Hart appearance on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” on Friday, Degeneres told him that she’d called some people in charge at the Academy of Motion PIctures Arts and Sciences and they wanted him back. So, is he back in? Nope. Hart has decided to stick with his original decision. The old tweets are not the only weapon used by the social justice warrior crowd to attack Hart. Last year, prior to the Oscars drama, he was attacked over his son’s birthday party. His wife had shared photos and video from the happy day, that included a “Cowboys and Indians” theme. If Hart has learned anything from all of this, perhaps it is that the left is “not his friend.”
