Oscars 2016: Best Moments
<p>Host Chris Rock didn’t dance around the elephant in the room (that would be <a href="http://www.ew.com/gallery/stars-oscars-so-white" target="_blank">#OscarsSoWhite</a>): He stepped onstage and launched into a monologue about the controversy, first defending his choice to host (“They’re not going to cancel the Oscars because I quit, and the last thing I need is to lose another job to Kevin Hart”) while stars like Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee were boycotting the ceremony. Then he got to the heart of it: “Is Hollywood racist?” he asked. “You’re damn right Hollywood’s racist,” he said, elaborating, “Hollywood’s sorority-racist; it’s like, ‘We like you, Rhonda, but you’re not a Kappa.’”</p> <p> </p>
