After Chris Rock this year, it could be Ride Along’s Kevin Hart hosting the Academy Awards next year. Hart had made a brief, but interesting appearance, at this year’s event and Hollywood tabloids are already claiming executives are keen on casting the comedian for next year’s show.
“The Academy definitely wants to skew a little younger and look a little more hip. With ratings down yet again this year they are already thinking about the host next year. And Kevin is on their radar and the front runner to host next year and he would do it 100 per cent if asked,” a source was quoted as saying by Hollywood-life.com.
Hart’s also extremely popular on social media. A photo Hart posted from the Oscars with Chris Rock and comedian Dave Chapelle was the second most “liked” Instagram photo on Oscar night.
