VIDEO : Ellen DeGeneres Is Trying To Get Kevin Hart His Oscars Gig Back

Ellen DeGeneres is fighting for actor and comedian Kevin Hart to be reinstated as the host of the 2019 Academy Awards. But her campaign has not been well received on Twitter. In a preview clip of Friday?s broadcast of ?The Ellen DeGeneres Show,? the talk show host revealed she actually called up the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and asked for Hart to be given back the role. Hart stepped down as the ceremony?s host in December, just two days after being awarded the gig, after historic tweets and comments he made using homophobic language came to light again.
