Best Oscars moment: Morgan Freeman shoving cookies in his mouth on stage
Chris Rock was also holding a box and a roll of cookies.
“As you know, for the second year in a row, all the acting nominees are white”, Rock said, introducing the clip.
Just like you at every family reunion, he was just there for the food. “Let’s take a look”. During a pivotal scene from Joy, where Jennifer Lawrence’s 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 it’s done. “It’s not rocket science, it’s a mop”, said Goldberg. Goldberg mocked Mangano and quipped that if a black woman were to be a lead in a movie, she would need to find the cure to cancer instead of simply inventing a self-wringing mop. “There are no black actresses in this movie”, Jones yelled at DiCaprio.
Taking a hefty bite out of the cookie, his mission was completed and he was not hanging around for any small talk. Dressed in a white dress and wearing red lipstick, the “Saturday Night Live” alum channeled Eddie Redmayne’s performance. “These Danishes is good girl”, he remarks.
In the sketch’s most pointed segment, Rock found himself stranded in space a la Matt Damon in The Martian. “I’ll tell you what’s a PR problem, spending $2,500 white dollars to save one black astronaut. We’ll all be out of jobs”, Daniels said.
