The hashtag Oscars So White was the controversy on everyone’s mind going into this year’s Oscars and since it was announced that Chris Rock would be taking over this year’s hosting duties, the world anxiously waited to see how Chris would rip apart the academy for its lack of diversity in this year’s nominations. He did not disappoint. That monologue, that monologue, that monologue.
Chris then put together a movie montage of scenes from all of the nominated films but inserted black actors to give a boost to thelack of diversity. You didn’t know Tracy Morgan was in the Danish Girl?And possibly the most awkward joke of the night was when Chris introduced Stacey Dash as the fictional new director of the Academy’s minority outreach program. And in case you don’t get the joke, let’s just say Stacey Dash is known for not being the sharpest tool in the tool box and has said some dumb shiz in regard to the black community. i.e why no one clapped.
I wanted to crawl into a hole for her. Chris was on a roll with the Oscars So white jokes and kept them going by welcoming viewers at home back to the show in the puniest way possible.
Chris then went on to acknowledge some of the real life people who this year’s movies were made about including the real Joy and Michael Rezendes from Spotlight. But then he saw an opportunity and ceased it by introducing an unlikely attendee from Straight Outta Compton.
Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, the real Suge Knight is in jail. And how about that moments when Chris called out the Academy once again, throwing some shade while introducing Rachel McAdams and Michael B. Jordan.
And hello you can’t talk about the lack of diversity at the Oscars without acknowledging the fact that it’s Black History Month. To commemorate, Chris put together a new edition to the show.
And as a perfect sequel to Ellen’s pizza guy moment, Chris opted for some Girl Scout Cookies. He explained that his youngest daughter was sad because her cookie sales were strugglin’ so he enlisted some help from some Hollywood A-listers.
Chris then made a pretty solid prediction about who next year’s pick may be to host the Oscars.
And in one of the funniest moments of the night, Chris admitted that he’d been giving the Academy a lot of flak all night for being so white and didn’t want to seem like he was just complaining and instead wanted to solve the problem by offering some fresh perspectives from movie goers. His movie theater of choice was none other than one straight outta Compton.
Chris was on a roll and closed the show by extending a special invitation to the audience.
