The Ankler’s Jeff Sneider is more right than wrong when it comes to his intel. Yesterday he had hinted at a scoop to come. Today, we got it .. and then Sneider was told to take it down.
You can’t find the tweet Sneider posted this afternoon because he deleted it. However, the internet never forgets …
This is UNCONFIRMED... but I got a text saying Chris Rock is gonna host the Oscars. I will delete this tweet if it's not true. I am not reporting this. But I AM passing along the rumor.
Chris Rock hosting the Oscars would be the best possible rehabilitation scheme for the Academy in the post-slap era. However, we already know that, and earlier this summer, Rock had already declined their invitation to host the 2023 ceremony. Did he change his mind?
I guess we'll see... If it does turn out to be true, then ratings for next year’s Oscar telecast would SKYROCKET. Plus, Will Smith is barred from the ceremony, so Rock wouldn’t have to worry. Rock could spout as many Jada Pinkett jokes as he’d like.
