In an interview, comedian Kevin Hart discussed the possibility of him hosting the Oscars and revealed that there is a small likelihood of him taking up the role. The topic arose as the actor spoke about his recent film, "Fatherhood," and his successful career. Hart mentioned how he would not pass up the opportunity if offered, but also acknowledged the controversy surrounding homophobic remarks he made in the past, which led to his resignation as the Oscars host in 2019. The comedian expressed his belief that people have the right to evolve and change, and that he has genuinely grown and learned from his mistakes.

However, Hart acknowledged that there are people who will never be satisfied, no matter what he does or says. He emphasized that he does not want to be a distraction from the event and wants the focus to be on celebrating the achievements of the nominees. Hart concluded the interview by mentioning his desire for people to acknowledge personal growth and encouraged others to do the same. While he did not outrightly rule out hosting the Oscars again, he made it clear that it is unlikely to happen, as he prioritizes the smooth running of the event over personal aspirations.
