The news has come through that comedian Chris Rock won’t be returning to the Oscars this year. Awww, shame.
From Yahoo news:
“He is not hosting the
Academy Awards,” the comedian’s publicist, Matt Labov, said Friday in a brief statement e-mailed to The Associated Press. He did not elaborate. Labov told The New York Times that Rock didn’t want to do the show “in perpetuity” but would “like to do it again down the road.”……The 2005 telecast was Rock’s first as host. He drew younger viewers, but his barbs skewering stars like
Jude Law, Tobey Maguire and others alienated some members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
I can’t say I’m sorry, I don’t find the guy funny and I never thought he was right to host the Oscars, he doesn’t have the right attitude or demeanour for it. Oh, and before accusations are thrown, no I’m not racist, check the reasons mentioned in the statement before.
So who would you like to see host the next Oscar ceremony? Or would you rather Rock did come back for this?
