I'm shocked...
I caught a piece of the Chris Rock monologue at the bar, saw it on social media late last night... thought it was hilarious and extremely well done. really shocked by the outraged today
It's not his opening dialogue that has people outraged. If that's the only part of the oscars you saw I can understand why you're shocked. His opening jokes were fine.
Literally the entire night was focused on the racists oscars. From every single thing said to every skit. For 3+ hours it never stopped.
Probably the worst Oscars show that I've seen. The blackness thing should have gone out of the window after the first 5 minute rant. Mad Max won WAY too many awards for what it was. But it's all a political process voted on by people that don't even watch all of the movies. My opinion of academy voters went way down a long time ago when they voted Ordinary People best picture over Raging Bull. Which was not only the best movie that year, it is considered the best film of the 80's.
