The Oscars was trending on social media because of a rumor that Tom Holland and Zendaya have been asked if they are interested in hosting the next ceremony in March.
God help us all.
In recent years, the Oscars seem to have forgotten that having an entertaining host does make viewers stick around for the full 3 hours. However, here’s the main dilemma the Academy has had these last few years: Whoever is chosen to host these 94th Academy Awards will be met with the utmost of scrutiny. Just ask Kevin Hart.
Who in their right mind would want to host these 94th Oscars? Whatever brave soul is naive enough to take up this task will need a sin-free past to be accepted by the Twitterati wokesters. Remember, the slightest uh-oh hiccup in your Twitter feed, and you're toast.
What the Kevin Hart fiasco has proven is that being Oscar host means having to deal with your past being scrupulously dissected until something, anything, is found. I presume, if we go by the wokester rules the Academy has instilled in their museum, the host cannot be white. We need an inclusive-looking emcee for the Oscars.
Does the next host really want a Hubble telescope hovering directly over the database of his or her entire life?
And then you wonder why Oscar ratings have been dropping every year, at alarming rates. A majority of Americans doesn’t like the virtue signaling. The loudest voices on Twitter don’t represent the country — most of America isn’t California/New York, most of America isn’t celebrity-obsessed, most of America isn’t into virtue-signaling wokester indies.
If the Oscars actually cared about reaching out to a larger demographic, then they’d ask Dave Chappelle to host. Will Ferrell would be a worthy candidate as well. Ditto Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph. Would any of them want 4+ decades worth of public comments and actions scrutinized to nth degree? Probably not.
Just hire The Muppets.
