Academy members have privately called for Chris Rock to be removed as host, sources claim, fearing Rock may "tarnish" the reputation of the Academy.

personally, I think the oscars were tarnished as soon as they decided to only nominate big fat epics ever year for their awards, and leaving brilliant comedies and more smaller indie movies in their wake.
They are not quite as awful as the Grammy's, but the Oscars are just another marketing tool of the big machines of Hollywood. The 'art" was lost a long-time ago.
