Late last year the comedian was announced as host of the 2019 Academy Awards, taking over from Jimmy Kimmel who had taken on the duty for two consecutive years.

Hart’s euphoria was short-lived, however, as LGBTQ rights groups criticised his appointment due to previous homophobic remarks that he has made.

The furore caused the Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle actor to apologise and step down from the role which he had described as the gig of a lifetime.

Not all LGBTQ members were in favour of Hart’s departure, though, with Ellen DeGeneres telling him, “Whatever is going on on the internet, don’t pay attention to them. That’s a small group of people being very, very loud. We are a huge group of people who love you and want to see you host the Oscars.”

Ellen’s words prompted the 39-year-old to say he would reconsider.

Whilst on Good Morning America, Hart was asked if there was a chance that he would host this year.

“No, I’m not hosting the Oscars this year,” Hart replied without hesitation. “The Academy, they’re amazing people, the offer was made, it was received, I was excited this happened, it didn’t work out the way it should have. Right now from a time perspective, I don’t really have time.”

Oscar producers will now ask select A-listers to introduce the different categories.

The film’s actors, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper have teased that they could possibly perform the feature’s signature tune, “Shallow”.

Fans could be treated to a real-life duet performed by Gaga and Copper as Jackson Maine and Ally if nominated for Best Original Song at the upcoming Academy Awards.

The news of a possible performance was confirmed by Gaga herself in her Variety cover story, in which she vowed that the two will take the stage at the awards show if nominated, “One hundred percent.”

“We talked about that actually, because I’m such a maniac,” Cooper added. “I started texting her the whole pitch of how we should do it. So we’ll see. There might be a cool, unorthodox way we could perform it.”

A Star is Born is Cooper’s directorial debut and is the fourth on-screen adaptation of the musical romance between budding singer named Ally (Gaga) and a fading country singer, Jackson Maine (Cooper).

“Shallow” was co-written by Gaga, Andrew Wyatt, Anthony Rossomando, and Gaga’s Joanne executive producer Mark Ronson.
