Sandra Bullock suggests unorthodox solution to Oscars host dilemma

Audience participation could transform the #Oscars #AcademyAwards next year if #SandraBullock has her way.

In order to resolve the host-less situation for the 2019 awards show, Bullock, a former Academy Award-winner, revealed an unorthodox suggestion: have actors in the crowd picked randomly to participate.

And those planning the Academy Awards “don't even have to tell them it's happening, just put up the teleprompter, and go, ‘it's your turn,’” Bullock told the outlet. “You're an actor, figure it out.”

The actress shared her idea while talking to The Associated Press at a screening of her movie “Bird Box.”

Bullock’s suggestion came after comedian Kevin Hart decided to bow out of planned Oscars hosting duties earlier this month following criticism over years-old tweets which were deemed anti-gay.

He made his announcement in a series of tweets and apologized to the LGBTQ community for his earlier comments.

“I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year's Oscar's....this is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists,” Hart tweeted.

In a follow-up tweet he added, "I'm sorry that I hurt people.. I am evolving and want to continue to do so. My goal is to bring people together not tear us apart. Much love & appreciation to the Academy. I hope we can meet again."

In the days following, a report from Variety suggested that event organizers were considering airing the show without a host.

The 91st Academy Awards is set to air Sunday, Feb. 24.

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
