With the 2019 Oscars seemingly set to take place without a host, thanks to the controversy surrounding Kevin Hart, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — the body that organises the awards ceremony — is reportedly eyeing several stars of the Avengers franchise in order to bolster its profile and ratings, which have been steadily declining in years past. No specific names have been floated but the Academy is reportedly interested in tapping “as many big-name cast ” as possible. 2c1q2i
Sources told the winner of the Best Animated Feature Film.
THR says that “specific details are still being hammered out about how the actors who play the popular characters will be incorporated into” the 2019 Oscars, as the Academy figures out a solution for “a rotating cast of stars to introduce various segments”, in lieu of a traditional host. The Academy declined to comment on the matter.
This wouldn't be the first time Infinity War had over two dozen recognisable names — and this could be a win-win for everyone.
The 2019 Oscars — slated for February 24, 2019 — will likely draw more younger audiences, something the Academy was trying to do with Avengers: Endgame, releasing April 26, 2019.
