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.

Fox News’ Louis Casiano, Matt Richardson and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Kate Bush, The Dreaming : A Pitchfork Review

#KateBush # WutheringHeights # Lionheart # NeverforEver #TheDreaming In 1982, Kate Bush’s daring and dense fourth album marked her transformation into a fearless experimental artist who was legible, audibly very queer, and very obviously in love with pop music. In 1978, Kate Bush first hit the UK pop charts with “Wuthering Heights” off her romantic, ambitious progressive pop debut The Kick Inside. That same year, her more confident, somewhat disappointing follow-up Lionheart and 1980’s Never for Ever had a grip of charting singles that further grew her UK success without achieving mega-stardom—she barely cracked into American college rock. What is truly amazing between the first chapter of her career and the new one that began with 1982’s The Dreaming is how consistently Bush avoided the musical world around her, preferring to hone and blend her literary, film, and musical inspirations (Elton John, David Bowie, and Pink Floyd) into the idiosyncratic perfection that was 1985’s Ho
