Kevin Hart says there’s absolutely no chance he will ever host the Oscars, labelling award show gigs as “very cold” and not “comedy friendly environments”.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old comedian<\/strong> and actor stepped down from hosting the 2019 Oscars<\/strong> after a series of old tweets emerged in which he’d used homophobic slurs.<\/p>\n

Chat show host Ellen DeGeneres later campaigned for him to return to the role, without success.<\/p>\n

Hart, who is currently starring in Netflix heist movie Lift, told Sky News: “Those gigs aren’t good gigs for comics. It’s no shot to the Oscars<\/strong>, no shot to the Globes or anything else. Those just aren’t comedy friendly environments anymore.<\/p>\n

“I think they got it right one year where it was like just a bunch of personalities acting as the hosts and that’s a nice thing. It’s a collaborative thing, different people get to be responsible for act one, act two, act three, but you know, the days of it being a room for a comic, those days are done.”<\/p>\n

No stranger to awards ceremonies, Hart has previously hosted the Bet Awards, the MTV Video Music awards and the MTV Movie Awards.<\/p>\n

He went on to praise those who have pulled off fronting big shows: “Shout out to those that have cracked the code and done it right early on, you know, the Chris Rock<\/strong>‘s of the world, the Billy Crystal’s of the world, the girls we’ve had like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler. Ricky Gervais.<\/p>\n

“There’s a lot of people that understand that if you’re not an industry comic, meaning a comic that has the relationships of all [the guests], then those rooms are very cold. So, me doing it is, of course, at an advantage, because I know the room and for me, and familiar with so many. But, for others it’s not the same.”<\/p>\n

He recently defended Golden Globes<\/strong> host Jo Koy after some of the comedian’s jokes fell flat at the ceremony earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Hart goes on: “It’s not the gig that it was of old. It’s too much pressure on the idea of a comic and what’s jokes and not jokes. So, it’s tough.”<\/p>\n

Hart – who rose to fame as a comic in the 2000s, later achieving acting success in Hollywood in blockbusters including Ride Along, Scary Movie and the Jumanji franchise – is modest about his venture into action movies.<\/p>\n

His latest film Lift, which has plenty of fight scenes and James Bond-style chases, sees him play criminal mastermind Cyrus Whitaker who is racing to lift $500m (\u00a3393m) in gold from a passenger plane mid-flight, to save the world from the evils of a plotting terrorist network.<\/p>\n

Hart jokes: “I’ve been acting in guest houses up till now, but I’m home now. Me, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis – just a bunch of guys I relate to.<\/p>\n

“When it comes clanking and banging, you know, doing things that others can’t do.”<\/p>\n

Lift is streaming on Netflix now.<\/p>\n

The 96th Academy Awards take place on Sunday 10 March in Los Angeles, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
