奧斯卡主辦方因尋找凱文·哈特接班人而傷透腦筋
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is still figuring out the next steps after Kevin Hart's abrupt departure from the show.
在凱文·哈特突然退出奧斯卡之後，美國電影藝術與科學學院還在尋找對策。According to Variety, the comedian's decision to step down from hosting the Oscars after his old homophobic tweets resurfaced -- instead of apologizing and weathering the storm -- has left the Academy in a tight spot, as there was no contingency plan for a situation like this.
據《綜藝》報道，這名喜劇演員過去發佈的恐同推文近日再次浮出水面，他沒有選擇致歉並挺過風暴，而是決定退出奧斯卡主持工作，這讓學院陷入窘境，因爲他們沒有爲這種情況制定應急方案。As a result, the Academy is exploring a number of options, ranging from opening the show with a stunty group monologue to having no host at all.
因此，學院正在研究以巧妙的集體獨白作開場或者索性根本不設主持人等多種方案。
"They're freaking out," a comedy agent told Variety, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
一位不願透露姓名的喜劇經紀人向《綜藝》透露：“學院方面都瘋了。”Another talent rep said their clients are "bummed Kevin didn't stay the course and serve as an example."
另一位人才代表表示，他們的客戶“對凱文沒有堅持到底、沒有充當榜樣感到失望”。They also wondered why the Academy didn't vet Hart more thoroughly.
他們也好奇，爲什麼學院沒有更徹底地審查哈特。The 2019 Academy Awards are scheduled for Feb 24.
2019年奧斯卡頒獎禮將於2月24日舉行。
