The drama about who might host the Academy Awards may well turn out to be more exciting than the show itself.
After Kevin Hart stepped down following controversy over some homophobic comments and tweets from years ago, there was a lot of back and forth over who – if anyone -- would step in.
Daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres even had Hart on her show to try and convince him to return to the gig.
She wasn’t successful and the lack of a replacement resulted in ceremony with no host.
But what happens if that formula ends up being successful?
Let’s be honest: The Oscars sometimes suffers by being the last hurrah of awards season. We have already partied through the boozy Golden Globe Awards, embraced the speeches of the Screen Actors Guild Awards and rocked out to the performances at the Grammys.
So maybe not having a host and his or her accompanying opening monologue and jokes to critique might force the Oscars to come up with other ways to entertain the audience.
Though, to be fair, CNN’s Brian Lowry reminded us that the last hostless Academy Awards in 1989 featured the much mocked opening musical number featuring musical number involving Rob Lowe and an actress playing Snow White. It can only get better, right?
