It now appears that the show, airing Feb. 24, won't have a traditional host, but instead will rely on a rotating cast of stars to introduce various segments.
And to up the star quotient even further, the show's producers are currently lining up appearances by as many big-name castmembers from Marvel's sprawling Avengers franchise as possible.

Well, if he is going to be hosting the Laureus awards on February 18th, then I suppose he could, in theory, be just as available to be part of the Oscar awards on February 24th, right?
But, I haven't noticed any confirmation that he actually IS hosting the Laureus awards - just that one mention but nothing official from Laureus... yet.
The only thing I like about the Oscars is looking at the noms and viewing some of the films mentioned (unless of course BC was nominated and then it would be a chance to see plenty of interviews, photoshoots, etc.).
This year I have seen Roma (on Netflix and LOVED it!) and hope to see The Favourite this coming Tuesday. I would love to see Vice but I think I missed it in our hometown cinema so that one might require some travel. We also have The Green Book playing currently but I saw the previews and frankly I wasn't impressed.
The BlacKkKlansman hasn't come yet to our city and Bohemian Rhapsody (not a big Queen fan), A Star is Born (not a big fan of Lady Gaga and I can't stand Bradley Cooper) and Black Panther (or any comic book movie that doesn't star BC) just aren't things that interest me enough to shell out $$$ for the cinema tickets.
Other than the obvious exceptions, I don't think this year's crop of movies is that good to be honest. The most exciting material is on the smaller screen to me. I'd stack up Patrick Melrose against a lot of the nominees and
I think it would stand pretty tall with that competition.
