Me, uh let’s see, Quincy Jones, Russell Simmons, Questlove - you know the usual suspects, right? And every black actor that wasn’t working. And you know it’s me and all of Hollywood. Now I remember one night I was at a fundraiser for President Obama - lot of you were there. Is it “Fetch me some lemonade” racist? No! It’s a different type of racist. The real question everybody wants to know in the world is: Is Hollywood racist? You know. Like: best black friend! And the winner for the 18th year in a row, is Wanda Sykes! “This is Wanda’s 18th Black Oscar.”
Think about it! There’s no real reason for there to be a man and a woman category in acting! Come on! There’s no reason! It’s not track and field! You don’t have to separate them! Robert De Niro’s never said, “I better slow this acting down so Meryl Streep can catch up!” No! Not at all, man! If you want black people every year at the Oscars, just have black categories.
If you want black nominees every year, you need to just have black categories. This year at the Oscars things are going to be a little different! This year, in the In Memoriam package, it’s just gonna be black people that were shot by the cops on their way to the movies! Yes! Yes! I said it, all right? Said “It’s not fair that Will was this good and didn’t get nominated!” You’re right! It’s also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West ! OK? Jada’s mad her man, Will, was not nominated for Concussion. I wasn’t invited! Oh, that’s not an invitation I would turn down!īut I understand! I’m not hating.

I’m like, “Ain’t she on a TV show?” Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. Everybody went mad! It’s crazy! Jada went mad. Sharpton got mad and Jada went mad, Will went mad. When your grandmother’s swinging from a tree, it’s really hard to care about best documentary foreign short!īut what happened this year? What happened? People went mad! Spike got mad. We were too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won best cinematographer. Say ’65, ’62 or ’63 - and black people did not protest! Why? Because we had real things to protest at the time. I’m sure there were no black nominees some of those years. Which means this whole “no black nominees” thing has happened at least 71 other times, OK? You gotta figure that it happened in the ’50s, in the ’60s - you know like one of those years Sidney didn’t put out a movie.
Now the things is, what are we protesting - the big question: Why this Oscars? Why this Oscars, you know? It’s the 88th Academy Awards. Kev make movies fast! Every month! Porno stars don’t make movies that fast. I thought about it real hard, but I realized, “They’re gonna have the Oscars anyway.” They’re not gonna cancel the Oscars because I quit! And the last thing I need is to lose another job to Kevin Hart, OK? I don’t need that! Kev, right there. “Chris, you should boycott! Chris, you should quit! You should quit.” How come it’s only unemployed people that tell you to quit something, you know? No one with a job ever tells you to quit. This is the wildest, craziest Oscars to ever host because we got all this controversy - no black nominees. You realize, if they nominated host, I wouldn’t even get this job! Y’all would be watching Neil Patrick Harris right now.īut here’s the crazy thing. Otherwise known as the White People’s Choice Awards. I counted at least 15 black people on that montage!
