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.” Associated Press AROUND TOWN TODAY Isaac Alcantar Exhibit at the Quinlan Visual Arts Center Regions Mini Gallery. 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Regions Center, 303 Jesse Jewell Parkway, Gainesville. 770-536-2575, amanda@qvac.org.

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.”
