Oprah Winfrey doesn't want to host the Oscars. 

The 64-year-old media mogul is known for her work as the host of her eponymously titled talk show, but has said she isn't looking to fill in as the host of the Academy Awards in 2019 after Kevin Hart - who was previously lined up for the prestigious job - quit the position following the controversy that arose when his previous homophobic tweets were resurfaced. 

When asked by TMZ if she would consider hosting the Oscars if the Academy were to ask her, Oprah simply said: 'No.' 

NO: Oprah Winfrey doesn't want to host the Oscars. The 64-year-old media mogul is known for her work as the host of her eponymously titled talk show, but has said she isn't looking to fill in as the host of the Academy Awards in 2019 after Kevin Hart; seen in November

Get Hard star Kevin, 39, stepped down as host after past homophobic tweets he'd posted re-emerged, and said he didn't want to be a 'distraction'. 

He tweeted: '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. 

'I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past. 'I'm sorry that I hurt people...

She knows better: When asked by TMZ if she would consider hosting the Oscars if the Academy were to ask her, Oprah simply said: 'No'

'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.' 

And although the role won't be going to the A Wrinkle In Time star, former host Whoopi Goldberg has suggested the job go to Crazy Rich Asians star Ken Jeong. 

Responding to the comments Whoopi recently made on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert', Ken said: 'I was just so flattered that Whoopi had even said that. 

Her pal: Seen here with US Former First Lady Michelle Obama (R) at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois in November

'I didn't even know she was gonna go on Colbert. 

'I just saw her on The View yesterday morning, and, off camera, she was really serious about it. Like, "You know, you should host," and "I'm gonna talk to the Academy," and it was so lovely, you know, coming from her.' 

Ken also admitted he'd relish the opportunity to host the annual awards show. 

He said: 'If they asked me to be an on-set medic for it, I'd be glad. 'I think the Academy has done an amazing job in kind of just trying to get more representation on screen ... and I really think, with the success of Crazy Rich Asians, Black Panther and so many amazing movies right now, and so much diversity that is in these amazing movies, it's exciting. It makes me so proud and excited to call myself an actor.' 

He would do: And although the role won't be going to the A Wrinkle In Time star, former host Whoopi Goldberg has suggested the job go to Crazy Rich Asians star Ken Jeong. Seen with his wife Tran on Thursday in LA

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
