Video Licks: The 2016 OSCARS Address Diversity with Comedy

Tracy Morgan

This year the OSCARS were not just about the best dressed, betting pools, and winners. The issue of diversity was circling the awards show like a vulture at a meat party. Instead of sweeping the elephant in the room under the rug though, the show runners chose to bring the problem out in the open with a hilariously eye-opening monologue by Chris Rock, a most confusing Stacey Dash moment, a fake movie montage substituting black actors in Oscar roles, and other bits throughout the program. BTW, Tracy Morgan is better than ever! Humor is the best medicine sometimes.
