Who Should Host the 2019 Oscars? Our Editors Weigh In

ICYMI, on Wednesday Kevin Hart was announced as the host of the 2019 Academy Awards and by Thursday night he’d stepped down, after refusing to apologize for homophobic comments he’d made in the past. While we’re waiting for the Academy to make their decision on who will replace him as the next host, we thought we’d toss a few names out there.

“Given what went down with Kevin Hart, it seems suiting that the Academy do some damage control by bringing on a queer host. SNL superstar Kate McKinnon, who proved her awards show chops in the opening number of this year’s Emmys, would be a solid choice. There’s also Graham Norton, the celeb-favourite talk show host who’s often tapped to host events in his native Britain. Most of the high profile celebs in the room will have spent time on his late night couch, and I’m sure he’d find some interesting stories to tell. Or, if all else fails, they can just put Ellen back up on stage. In times like these, maybe we all need something warm, fuzzy and familiar.” — Meghan McKenna, Associate Editor

“It absolutely needs to be someone gay now, so either Billy Eichner or Hannah Gadsby. Just please, NOT A STRAIGHT WHITE DUDE.” — Lesa Hannah, Beauty Director

“My brain went directly to two VERY un-diverse hosts. But, what the heck: Tap John Mulaney and Nick Kroll to do it. They killed it at the Independent Spirit Awards. BUT WAIT! I changed my mind. This is who needs to host and I will now be super upset if she doesn’t:

Maya Rudolph.

GET IT DONE ACADEMY!” — Greg Hudson, Features Editor

“I have no interest in listening to another straight white dude prattle on about #MeToo, the inequities of Hollywood, and the need for diversity, because they’re pretty much the last people whose thoughts we need on this topic right now. It feels like pretty much every late night talk show host currently on air has hosted one awards show or another—Seth Myers, Stephen Colbert, James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel. It is now Samantha Bee’s turn, dammit.” — Pahull Bains, Associate Editor

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
