The Oscars Have No Host Again. Billy Crystal Sounds Off: ‘Like A Trial Without Witnesses’

The Academy Awards will once again be going hostless this year, a trend that started when a band of online woke scolds launched a successful cancel campaign to force comedian Kevin Hart into stepping down from hosting after several old jokes resurfaced that offended the LGBT community. Comedian Billy Crystal, who hosted several shows in the 1990s and early 2000s, is none too happy with the new tradition.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Thursday, Crystal simultaneously blasted the Academy while swiping at Trump’s impeachment, comparing the hostless ceremony to a “trial without witnesses.”
