Chris Rock
will be hosting the Oscars, this year. But, he was not the first choice. Yes, it was
Ellen DeGeneres
, who was offered to host the Oscars. As she turned down the offer, Chris Rock was offered to host. Chris Rock, revealed the truth, recently. "I told my agent I wanted to present because it's like, what's easier and better than presenting? You come in, do something really funny and get out of there. I'm only here because Ellen said no. And I'm sure she said no like eight times. She did so well last time she hosted the show, and that's the standard."
Neil Patrick Harris
too hosted it last year.
