The BAFTAs are often a good indicator of the Oscars – last year, the main actor and actress winners were the same for both award ceremonies. The Oscars have now decided to not have a main host this year after controversy over homophobic tweets that Kevin Hart had posted a few years ago. The Oscars take place on 24th February.
