Chris Rock Declines Oscar Return | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Chris Rock is shutting down rumors of an Oscars return, saying he’d only go back if nominated—and doesn’t see that happening. He’s accepting his hosting days may be behind him, even with two past gigs. Quiet on the infamous incident, he just hopes it never happened, so it won’t overshadow his new film, Misty Green, hitting theaters October 9, 2026, and premiering at TIFF on September 12, 2026. He’s also giving props to recent award show hosts like Conan OBrien and Nikki Glaser, while keeping focus on his current projects and downplaying personal drama as “small potatoes” in a crazy world.
