Actor-comedian Kevin Hart
to host 2019 Academy Awards
Kevin Hart has a new job — he will host
the 2019 Academy Awards, a role the pro
lific actor-comedian says fulfills a longtime
dream.
Hart announced his selection for the
91st Oscars in an Instagram state
ment Tuesday. The Academy
of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences followed up with a
tweet that welcomed him “to
the family.”
The announcement came
hours after trade publica
tion The Hollywood Reporter
posted a story calling the Oscars
host position “the least wanted job
in Hollywood.”
Hart clearly doesn’t feel that way, writ
ing on Instagram that it has been on his list
of dream jobs for years. The 2019 Oscars
will be broadcast Feb. 24 on ABC.
“I am blown away simply because this
has been a goal on my list for a long time...
To be able to join the legendary list of host
that have graced this stage is unbeliev
able,” Hart wrote. “I know my mom is smil
ing from ear to ear right now.
“I will be sure to make sure this years
Oscars are a special one,” Hart wrote.
Hart takes over hosting duties from
Jimmy Kimmel, who presided over the last
two ceremonies, including 2016’s flub that
resulted in the wrong best picture winner
being announced. Last year’s ceremony
was an all-time ratings low, and the film
academy has announced a series of
changes to the upcoming show.
Those include shortening
the broadcast to three hours,
and also presenting certain
categories during commer
cial breaks and broadcasting
excerpts of those winners’
speeches later in the show.
The 39-year-old Hart has
become a bankable star with films
such as “Ride Along,” ’’Jumanji: Welcome
to the Jungle” and “Night School.”
Celebrities including Martin Lawrence
and Chris Rock, who hosted the ceremony
in 2005 and 2016, posted congratulatory
messages about Hart’s selection Tuesday
night.
“Damn I’ve lost another job to Kevin
Hart,” Rock posted on Instagram, echo
ing a joke he told during his 2016 opening
monologue . “They got the best person for
the job.”

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
ARIES (March 21 -April 19).
Tune into the subtleties of
your language. Avoid using
words that convey pessimism,
cynicism or sarcasm. Ditch the
negativity, not because oth
ers are listening, but because
you are.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Anyone not at the meeting
gets talked about. So go to the
meeting. It will show your soli
darity with the group. Maybe
lower your expectations first. It
could get boring. Little will be
decided or learned. Go any
way.
GEMINI (May 21-June21). It’s
one thing to accept that you’re
human and you’ve made
mistakes and quite another to
actually love your mistakes be
cause they contributed to who
you are. Also, no one can (or
wants to) relate to seemingly
flawless people.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Good living is like good choco
late; there’s a little bitterness
in there but not too much.
Acknowledge and explore
your negative feelings (they
are part of the recipe, too), but
don’t dwell there. Life is mostly
sweet!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll
advise and be advised today.
A good thing to keep in mind is
that no single piece of advice
fits every person. Even if it
were the soundest and best
line of thought in the entire
world, it still wouldn’t be right
for all.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be
cause you want to experience
more, you’ll meet different
sorts of people and let them in
fluence you, all the while never
losing sight of who you are.
You can do this because your
roots grow deep.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). No
one likes being in environ
ments they can’t, at least to
some extent, control. An envi
ronment has become stifling.
You may resent having to be
there. But you can influence
this place. Look for ways.
There are untried options.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Unencumbered people move
quickly. Something is weighing
you down. Throw the baggage
overboard. A person without
baggage is a person who will
soon be getting new things.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). While there’s nothing less
funny than a person trying too
hard to be funny, you appreci
ate the effort. In this and other
ways, people will try to impress
you. It’s flattering.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Each phase of the day has a
gift. Morning gives you your
freshest mind. Afternoon gives
you a body warmed up and
ready for the hardest thing it
has to do today. Night gives
you the need to give and re
ceive for loving comfort.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
There is no “perfect.” And if
there were, it would only close
your mind to new ideas and
standards. Instead of seeking
the ideal, seek a solution that’s
as quirky and flexible as you
are.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You may be agitated by today’s
sky because it calls for more
honesty than you feel would be
kind. Perhaps the poet Kahlil
Gibran can help: “If indeed you
must be candid, be candid
beautifully.”
