We might see the Avengers assemble in the unlikeliest of places: the Academy Awards. It’s no secret it hasn’t been an easy path to the 91st Academy Awards. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences selected Kevin Hart as host only to see him drop out after controversy over old tweets. The search for a new host didn’t go as planned, resulting in the AMPAS deciding to go without a...
The Academy Awards were held on Sunday night, and the winners came from all across the board and different genres.
