It went well anyway last year. Despite the fact that actor and comedian Kevin Hart canceled after an old tweet about his son's possible play with a doll house, he noted: "Then I would break it and say no, it's gay."

It was two months before the gala in 2019 and it was wildly speculated about who would take over. Driving without a host thought no one was an option. It hadn't happened since 1989 when the opening number - Rob Lowe danced with Snow White - was so shaken that the gal's producer Allan Carr never got a job in Hollywood.

So bad that Paul Newman complained

Paul Newman and Julie Andrews are reportedly also sending a written complaint to the organizers about the subtlety of the number.

But despite the famed gala in 1989: The Film Academy took a chance in 2019. Instead of a lone host, several different movie and TV stars were allowed to make less appearances. Among them are Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Trevor Noah. And it worked. No one complained and in addition the viewers rose.

Understanders in the US movie and entertainment channels predict that it has been difficult to find a perfect candidate for the job, who does not run the risk of winds and controversy with various social groups. Most people think that the organizers will continue with the worthless concept. Until it no longer works.

Homophobic statements 2011

In 2011, the Oscar gala was marred by similar scandal. When Tower Heist director Brett Ratner stepped down as producer for the gala. He too, for expressing himself homophobic. In turn, that year's host Eddie Murphy got to throw in the towel and Billy Crystal replaced it.

What stars will have fun with the audience at The Dolby Theater tonight remains to be seen. But remember that anything can happen at the Oscars gala. In 1958, Kalle Anka hosted.
