OSCARS 2016: Chris Rock Hilariously Nails His Opening Monologue
The 88th Academy Awards have kicked off in Hollywood and this year’s host, Chris Rock didn’t hold back in his opening monologue.
Immediately addressing the #OscarsSoWhite controversy surrounding this year’s ceremony, Rock asked “is Hollywood racist?” all-the-while delivering some hilarious lines and some cheeky digs at his peers.
“Jada [Pinkett Smith] boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited.”
Talking straight, Rock also addressed the #AskHerMore campaign (focussing on gender equality) and claimed that men are asked less about farshun because they all wear the same thing to the awards ceremony – a tux.
