Oscars reportedly considering Kevin Hart as host

Deadline

Producers have been having trouble finding a host for the 91st Academy Awards. "I hear comedian Kevin Hart is being considered for the job and could take over emcee duties," Deadline's Nellie Andreeva reports. "The popular comedian has been open about his desire for the gig. Asked on the red carpet at the 2016 Oscars whether hosting the Academy Awards was on his bucket list, Hart said, 'Of course it is, but it will happen when it’s supposed to.'" UPDATE: Hart could host the Oscars if he's able to move filming dates for an upcoming movie.
