Chris Rock To Host Oscars, Instead of boycotting the 2016 Oscars over its abridgement of appointee diversity, host Chris Rock delivered on his affiance to abode the #OscarsSoWhite controversy. The actor delivered a knock-out bite to the Academy from the alpha with his aperture monologue, announcement the "White People's Choice Awards": "You realize, if they nominated hosts, I wouldn't even get this job," he cracked. "Y'all would be watching Neil Patrick Harris appropriate now."
"I anticipation about quitting," Rock accepted later. "I anticipation about it absolute hard. They're traveling to accept the Oscars anyway. But I accomplished they're not traveling to abolish the Oscars because I quit, the endure affair I charge is to lose addition job to Kevin Hart. I don't charge that... Kev makes movies fast. Porno stars don't accomplish movies that fast."
Read Rock's absolute aperture address – which includes jabs at boycotter Jada Pinkett Smith and jokes about Wanda Sykes – address of Us Magazine.
"Man, I counted at atomic 15 atramentous humans on that montage. I'm actuality at the Academy Awards, contrarily accepted as the White People's Choice Awards. You realize, if they nominated hosts, I wouldn't even get this job. Y'all would be watching Neil Patrick Harris appropriate now...
This is the wildest, craziest Oscars to anytime host because of all this controversy. There are no atramentous nominees. Humans are like 'Chris, you should boycott, Chris you should quit. You should quit.' How appear there's alone unemployed humans to acquaint you to abdicate something? No one with a job anytime tells you to quit.
I anticipation about quitting. I anticipation about it absolute hard. They're traveling to accept the Oscars anyway. But I accomplished they're not traveling to abolish the Oscars because I quit, the endure affair I charge is to lose addition job to Kevin Hart. I don't charge that... Kev makes movies fast. Porno stars don't accomplish movies that fast.
Now the affair is, why are we protesting? That's the big question, why this Oscars? It's the 88th Academy Awards, which agency this accomplished 'no atramentous nominees' affair has happened at atomic 71 added times. You got to amount that it happened in the '50s in the '60s, you apperceive in the '60s one of those years Sidney [Poitier] didn't put out a movie. I'm abiding there were no atramentous nominees one of those years and atramentous humans did not protest.
Why? Because we had absolute things to beef at the time. Too active getting raped and lynched to affliction about who won best cinematographer. When your grandmother is accepted from the tree, it's absolutely harder to affliction about Best Documentary Foreign Short.
But what happened this year? Humans went mad. Spike Lee went mad… Jada Pinkett Smith went mad. Will Smith went mad. Everyone went mad. Jada said she's not coming, protesting. Isn't she on a TV show? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties — I wasn't invited.
That's not an allurement I would about-face down. But I understand. I accept you're mad – Jada's mad her man Will was not nominated for Concussion. I get it. Acquaint the truth. I get it. It's not fair that Will was this acceptable and didn't get nominated, it's aswell not fair that Will was paid $20 actor for Wild Wild West.
This year, things are traveling to be a little altered at the Oscars. This year in the memoriam package, it's just traveling to be atramentous humans that were attempt by the cops on their way to the movies. Yes, I said it.
If you wish atramentous nominees every year, you charge to accept atramentous categories. That's what you need... You already do it with men and women. Think about it. There's no absolute acumen for there to be a men and women class in acting... It's not clue and field. You don't accept to abstracted them. Robert De Niro never said, 'I bigger apathetic this acting down so Meryl Streep can bolt up.' No. Not at all man. If you wish atramentous humans every year at the Oscars just accept atramentous categories, like 'best atramentous friend.' And the winner, for the 18th year in a row, is Wanda Sykes. This is Wanda's 18th atramentous Oscar."
