 The big questions that everyone has been asking themselves post #OscarsSoWhite is should Chris Rock stick around to host the controversial award show?
The Smiths (Will and Jada Pinkett) and Spike Lee are boycotting the show but advise against pulling out of hosting, meanwhile 50 Cent isn't feeling it and thinks Chris should skip it. Oh, and in case you don't know what #OscarsSoWhite is all about: For the second year in a row, there aren't any blacks nominated in the leading categories. This could really go both ways. Either there were really great performances by individuals in the industry who happen to be white, or the Academy is racist. Sure, Michael B. Jordan (Creed) could have probably been nominated for Best Actor, but I can't think of any other black actors/actresses that could be nominated. See, if Chris Rock hangs in there, he has all of the power to say whatever he wishes. He could use this opportunity to make a difference and call the Academy out if it does turn out that #OscarsSoWhite is on purpose. This could be one for the books. And we all know that Chris isn't afraid to hold back, he even called the Oscars "The White BET Awards" via Twitter. This is a very touchy subject, but we have to talk about it sooner or later. What do you think of this? Should Chris hold on to his hosting duties to make a change for the better? Comment your thoughts below or tweet me @MissSaverinaS! |
