Kevin Hart is thrilled about his upcoming Oscars gig, calling it the ?opportunity of a lifetime,? however not everyone is on board with the comedian?s hiring. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced late Tuesday that Hart, has been tapped to host the 91st Academy Awards on Feb. 24, 2019. Backlash immediately surfaced among various film critics and LGBTQ rights advocates, who pointed to Hart?s history of anti-gay jokes and tweets. Huffpost reports the tweets include Hart vehemently opposing the idea of his son growing up gay or playing with toys such as a dollhouse, saying he would break the toy over the child's head.
