Chris Rocks monologuewas one of several moments to spotlight the lack of diversityin Hollywood and the Oscars, which led to an Oscarsboycott.In a hilarious montage that illustrated how hard it is for black actors to get crucial parts in films, several actors joined Rock to act in scenes belonging mostly to white actorsfrom this years batch of film nominees to further highlight the issue.
Rock was joined by Whoopi Goldberg, Saturday Night Lives Leslie Jones and Tracy Morgan, who stepped in for parts that were originally played by white actors and also a bear. There was even a walk-on part. Duringa pivotal scene from Joy, where Jennifer Lawrences titular character is readying to make her first appearance on TV trying to sell her Miracle Mops, Whoopie Goldberg sweeps into the scene as a janitor with a mop, showing the characters how its done.
In another famous scene from TheRevenant, Leonardo DiCaprios character is attacked by a bear in the film, but in the montage,Saturday Night Lives Leslie Jones steps in to berate DiCaprio instead. Tracy Morgan hilariously shows up in drag, playing the part belonging to a white actress in TheDanish Girl, and hes seen eating a Danish, naturally. These Danishes is good girl, he remarks.
To close the montage out, Rock portrays Matt Damons character in the TheMartian, who at the definingmoment when the NASA team in the actual film is working to get the white astronaut back, in the montage, they instead contemplate leaving the black astronaut behind because it will cost too much money.
The clip further drove the point that Rock opened the ceremony with home.
