Kevin Hart's old anti-gay tweets that were unearthed caused a stir on Thursday which apparently put the comedian's chances of hosting the 2019 Oscars in jeopardy. According to Kevin, he received a call from the Academy imploring him to apologize for his past tweets but Hart refused to comply. He cited his repeated acknowledgment of the tweets and his past remarks addressing the situation. Hart explained that the Academy would consider other candidates to host the award show in place of Kevin Hart if he didn't comply.
