– Chris Shock – All eyes were on black comedian and actor Chris Rock, hosting for a second time despite calls for him to join a boycott sparked by the paucity of ethnic minority nominees in the acting categories. Under pressure to hit the Academy hard over the controversy, the 51-year-old wasted no time and addressed the issue from his first words, discussing virtually nothing else in his monologue. “Hey! Well, I’m here at the Academy Awards — otherwise known as the white People’s Choice awards,” he said, after joking that the introductory montage had at least 15 black people. Rock was a caustic, funny presence throughout the night, but saved perhaps his most political message for his final comment: “Black lives matter” — a reference to the protest movement over the controversial police killings of African Americans.
