Hooray for Hollywood? More like stick it up your butt, Tinseltown!
Chris Rock stole the show at the Oscars last night with a rip-roaring speech that tore straight into the racism row that has engulfed the awards due to a lack of nominations for black artists.
Rock, 51, unleashed a hilarious blast that had enough fire-power to sink a battleship with razor-sharp wit, cutting comments and even a reference to Rihanna’s panties.
“I am here at the Academy Awards, otherwise known as the White People’s Choice Awards,” he told the audience (see video below).
“If they nominated the host I wouldn’t even get the job!”
In addition to poking fun at the awards over the race issue, Rock also mocked several of the stars who chose to snub the ceremony – including Will Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
“Jada is going to boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties: I wasn’t invited!” he stormed.
We’re with you, Chris. Here at Ginger Clam HQ we’d much rather talk about RiRi’s panties than watch Leo DiCaprio getting eaten by a bear!
