The Oscars

01/08/2019
One of the most well know award shows is coming up, but there seems to be much conflict with who will host it. The show is less than two months away and it remains without a host. In December it had been announced that Kevin Hart would host the show. But after he was asked to apologize for his previous tweets which insulted the lgbtq community he stepped down. He says that he has already apologized. Although there are still people out there fighting for him to host the award show. One being Ellen DeGeneres, she took to her twitter to say, "I believe in forgiveness. I believe in second chances. And I believe in @KevinHart4real." Along with this she had released a few clips of him on her show from past times. Even her brother, Vance DeGeneres had spoke out about this situation. He tweeted about how his sister a good person and how, “you may want to pick on someone who actually deserves your criticism.” Recently on Monday hart did apologized to the LGBTQ community through his radio show and along with it mentioned how he would still most likely not be hosting the Oscars.
This hosting situation has gone way out of hand and to a point where others wouldn’t like to host it. Just recently Chris Rock recently admitted that he wouldn’t even like to host the award ceremony if he had been asked. He mentioned how he would have wanted to do so 5 yeas ago. But now everything is taken way to seriously, he thinks something offensive but funny would be fine back then but now people get offended by everything. 
 With all this host drama going on I wonder who will end up hosting the up coming awards. I understand where the conflict comes in and how it may be viewed but I stand with Ellen in believing that people can be forgiven. This comes to show us that what we do and say on the internet stays on there forever. These tweets were from years ago in 2009 and 2010 but still are relevant. With the media being such a big force in our everyday lives we really should be more careful as to what we do.
