All it took for a goodOscarsceremony was no host . The dramatic play of the 2019 Oscar ceremonial was just as fascinate ( if not more so ) than the conventional awards race . With ratings hit an all - time low last year , ABC and the Academy try multiple ways to stir up the dusty awards , almost all of which were met with immediate derision and backtracking : thePopular Film Oscar ; not airing four categories ; not playing all Original Song campaigner .
But nothing quite fit the Oscar legion crimper coaster . Kevin Hart was named Oscar hostin December , but chop-chop stepped down after homophobic tweet resurface . From then on , many names were suggested only for the final decision tonot have a emcee at all . The last meter that happened , in 1989 , was wide regarded as an unmitigated disaster , and given all the heroic decision so far , thing were n’t looking good .

However , on the night itself , the lack of Oscar host was a reverberative winner . The ceremony was shorter ( final runtime came in well under three - and - a - one-half time of day ) , the presenters fresher , the tempo zippy , and the only things miss were the weak part . In fact , this was the near Oscars in years , one that took the awards back to the picture show and celebrating a love of film . And it ’s all rooted in not having a legion .
Previous years had catch a variety show of gifted , experienced , funny performers all choke under pressure level . Seth MacFarlane ’s risque comedy proved too blunt in 2013 ( especially his " We Saw Your Boobs " unfastener ) , Neil Patrick Harris bear a string of misfired put-on ( and magic tricks ) in 2015 , and Jimmy Kimmel ’s two - year stint in 2017 - 18 was spoil by an compulsion with " material people " segments . The only late standouts are Ellen DeGeneres in 2014 and Chris Rock in 2016 , and the badly - aged disk - breaking selfie away , that was more for their consuming second-rater . At this point , Oscar host is a poison goblet , one where best case is coming out having fronted a dull show . In that light , it ’s understandable that nobody would want the job , specially after Hart ’s release put a spotlight on suitableness ( Dwayne Johnson order he turn it down ) .
Where the wallop was most felt in how the giver had right focus and freedom . With no boniface attempt to inject humor in - between proceedings , the actors prefer to give out the awarding played around more : Melissa McCarthy and Brian Tyree Henry went all in with wacky costumes , James McAvoy and Danai Gurira went loud for sound , Keegan Michael - Key Yondu’d in to bring in " The Place Where Lost thing Go " fromMary Poppins takings , and John Mulaney and Awkwafina were a delight give up important poor cinema awards . Every one of those would have been a standout in late class , yet they all happened within a couple of hour .
With the liquid body substance happen onto the bestower and the push to foreshorten the telecast , that left the show with a pile less filler . While there were n’t any existent moments of engineered spectacle ( or collage ) , the shaving off of an time of day without cutting any awards meant everything moved at a pace and the focus had to be always on the honour . Indeed , the only major segments not about the awards - the presentation , the Sung dynasty , the Best Picture spotlights - were the Queen opening and the " In Memoriam " collage . Had there been a emcee , there ’s no room the equaliser would have been as strong .

In light of everything that ’s encounter with the Academy this year and the amount of confounding decisions , that the Oscars ( the event if not the awarding ) was such a resonant winner is something of a miracle . Indeed , more than just making an entertaining accolade ceremonial occasion , this hostless 2019 Oscars has provided a way out for the Academy in succeeding years : they do n’t need a host ever again .
