Kevin Hart is letting the backlash surrounding the Oscars this year stop him from joining the show.

He has signed on to be a presenter at the Academy Awards that air live Sunday. And he’s all about celebrating.

He revealed Thursday that he is hosting a special Oscars viewing party and seemed to even invite fans to join him.

And while there are more issues over the Ocsars after some celebrities decided to boycott because of the lack of diverse nominees, some fans had a problem with him inviting them to a party he knew they would never get into.

“You tried it. You know good and well we can’t come to that.”

“It’s strict invitation though?”

Some even joked about it as one wrote, “Darn my plane is in the shop this weekend! And Sunday is laundry day…sorry I really wanted to go too” while another added, “Great! What time do you need me there?”

But of course the #OscarsSoWhite drama also surfaced in the comment section with mixed reactions from fans.

“wow lol ur one of like 5 black people to be in the Oscars congrats much respect”

“I have no reason to join you. I’m not watching the Oscars”

“no loyalty! Black Power”

Actors like Jada Pinkett Smith and her husband Will Smith announced they would be boycotting the Oscars because there are only White candidates nominated this year as diverse actors in successful films like Creed, Concussion and Straight Outta Compton were snubbed.

Hart was announced as a presenter this week along with The View co-host and actress Whoopi Goldberg.
