Kevin Hart has some major plans ready for 2019.

Immediately following a formal announcement from the Academy, Kevin Hart took to social media to confirm the news.

He billed the gig as “the opportunity of a lifetime” and that he’s “blown away” by the opportunity to being the host for the Academy’s biggest night.

Check out his post from last night.

For years I have been asked if I would ever Host the Oscars and my answer was always the same…I said that it would be the opportunity of a lifetime for me as a comedian and that it will happen when it’s suppose to. I am so happy to say that the day has finally come for me to host the Oscars. I am blown away simply because this has been a goal on my list for a long time….To be able to join the legendary list of host that have graced that stage is unbelievable. I know my mom is smiling from ear to ear right now. I want to thank my family/friends/fans for supporting me & riding with me all this time….I will be sure to make this years Oscars a special one. I appreciate the @TheAcademy for the opportunity ….now it’s time to rise to the occasion #Oscars
