The Rock Says He Was The First Choice To Host The Oscars

Despite all the drama surrounding Kevin Hart and his hosting of the Oscars this year, The Rock says he was the Academy’s first choice to host this year. The 46-year old actor said he tried to make it work, but prior commitments got in the way, like shooting the upcoming sequel to Jumanji.

"I was their first choice to host this year, and my goal was to make it the most fun and entertaining Oscars ever," Johnson responded to a tweet. "We all tried hard, but couldn’t make it work since I’m shooting Jumanji. Academy and I were super bummed but maybe one day down the road,” he added.

Some people on Twitter think The Rock could be just trolling Hart here, considering the two often like to roast each other in some friendly banter, but this seems kinda genuine if you ask me.

The 91st Academy Awards, which will be hostless now following Kevin Hart’s decision to step down, will take place on Sun, Feb 24 at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Set your DVR’s now.

Do you think The Rock is telling the truth here or trying to troll Hart?

      Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
