The Drastic Change Chris Rock Is Making To His Oscars Routine
- 8 years ago
With this year's Academy Awards ceremony a little over a month away, a lot of the moving pieces that make the biggest night in Hollywood so spectacular are being locked in.
Oscar telecast producer Reginald Hudlin recently spoke with The Wrap , and stated that not only has Rock supposedly proclaimed that he's retooling the opening monologue for this year's show, but he's ready to write a brand new show for the night.
While it may seem like a pretty risky move to rewrite the Oscars telecast at this late in the game, the reworking of Chris Rock's material serves another purpose: it starts to repair the damage.
Whatever Chris Rock says with his jokes on Oscar night won't fix the grievances that people have with their lack of diversity, but hopefully it'll prove that The Academy recognizes that their system needs some work and taking themselves a little less seriously is a good step in the right direction.
