1
Man, I counted at least 15 black people on that montage.
2
Hey!
3
Well, I'm here at the Academy Awards, otherwise known as the White People's Choice Awards.
4
You realize, if they nominated host, I wouldn't even get this job.
5
That's right, y'all be watching Neil Patrick Harris right now.
6
But here's the crazy thing.
7
This is the wildest, craziest Oscars to ever host, because we got all this controversy.
8
There's no black nominees, you know?
9
And people are like, Chris, you should boycott.
10
Chris, you should quit.
11
You should quit.
12
How come there's only unemployed people that tell you to quit something, huh?
13
No one with a job ever tells you to quit.
14
I wanted to quit.
15
So I thought about quitting.
16
I thought about it real hard, but I realized they're gonna have the Oscars anyway.
17
They're not gonna cancel the Oscars because I quit.
18
You know?
19
And the last thing I need is to lose another job to Kevin Hart, okay?
20
I don't need that.
21
Kev, Kev right there.
22
Kev make movies fast.
23
Every month.
24
I know the stars don't make movies that fast.
25
Now, the thing is, why are we protesting?
26
That's the big question.
27
Why this Oscars?
28
Why this Oscars, you know?
29
It's the 88th Academy Awards.
30
It's the 88th Academy Awards,
31
which means this whole no black nominees thing has happened at least 71 other times.
32
Okay?
33
You got to figure that it happened in the 50s, In the 60s, you know, in the 60s, one of those years, Sidney didn't put out a movie,
34
I'm sure, I'm sure there were no black nominees some of those years, say, 62 or 63, and black people did not protest.
35
Why?
36
Because we had real things to protest at the time.
37
You know?
38
We had real things to protest.
39
You know, it's too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won best cinematographer.
40
You know, when your grandmother's swinging from a tree, it's really hard to care about best documentary foreign short.
41
But what happened this year?
42
What happened?
43
People went mad, you know?
44
Spike got mad, and Charlton got mad, and Jada went mad, and Will went mad.
45
Everybody went mad, you know?
46
It's quite like Jada got mad.
47
Jada says she's not coming, protesting.
48
I'm like, is she on a TV show?
49
Jada's going to boycott the Oscars.
50
Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties.
51
I wasn't invited.
52
Oh, that's not an invitation I would turn down.
53
I'm not hating.
54
I understand you're mad.
55
Jayda's mad her man, Will, was not nominated for concussion.
56
I get it.
57
I get it.
58
Tell the truth.
59
I get it.
60
I get it.
61
You get mad that it's not fair that Will was this good and didn't get nominated.
62
You're right.
63
It's also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West, okay?
64
Okay?
65
Things, you know...
66
You know, this year, you know, You know, this year at Oscars, things are gonna be a little different.
67
This thing, things are gonna be a little different at the Oscars.
68
This year, in the in-memoriam package, it's just gonna be black people that were shot by the cops on their way to the movies.
69
Yes, yes, I said it, all right?
70
Hey, if you want black nominees every year, you need to just have black categories.
71
That's what you need.
72
You need to have black categories.
73
You already do it with men and women.
74
Think about it.
75
There's no real reason for there to be a man in a woman category in acting.
76
It's track, it's not, come on.
77
There's no reason.
78
It's not track and field.
79
You don't have to separate them.
80
You know, Robert De Niro's never said, I better slow this acting down so Meryl Streep could catch up.
81
No. Not at all, man.
82
If you want black people every year at the Oscars, just have black categories, like...
83
Best black friend.
84
That's right.
85
And the winner for the 18th year in a row is Wanda Sykes.
86
This is Wanda's 18th black Oscar.
87
But here's the real question.
88
The real question everybody wants to know, everybody wants to know in the world, is is Hollywood racist?
89
Is Hollywood racist?
90
You know, that's a...
91
You know, you got to go at that the right way.
92
Is it...is it Vernon Cross racist?
93
No. Is it fetch me some lemonade racist?
94
No. No, no, no. It's a different type of racist.
95
Now, I remember one night I was at a fundraiser for President Obama, a lot of you were there, and, you know, it's me and all of Hollywood,
96
And all the, you know, it's all of us there.
97
And there's about four black people there.
98
Me, uh, let's see, Quincy Jones, Russell Simmons, Questlove.
99
You know, the usual suspects, right?
100
You know?
101
And every black actor that wasn't working.
102
Needless to say, Keb Hart was not there, okay?
103
So, at some point, you get to take a picture with the president, you know?
104
And as they're setting up the picture, you get, like, a little moment with the president.
105
I'm like, Mr. President, you see all these writers and producers and actors?
106
They don't hire black people.
107
And they're the nicest white people on earth.
108
They're liberals.
109
Cheese.
110
That's right.
111
Is Hollywood racist?
112
You're damn right Hollywood's racist, but it ain't that racist that you've grown accustomed to.
113
Hollywood is sorority racist.
114
It's like, we like you, Rhonda, but you're not a kappa.
115
That's how Hollywood's, yeah?
116
But things are changing.
117
Things are changing.
118
Yeah, we got a Black Rocky this year.
119
Yeah, some people call it Creed, I call it Black Rocky.
120
And that's a big, that's an unbelievable statement.
121
because Rocky takes place in a world where white athletes are as good as black athletes.
122
Sorry, Rocky's a science fiction movie.
123
There are things that happen in Star Wars that are more believable than things that happen in Rocky, okay?
124
But hey, we're here to honor actors.
125
We're here to honor actors.
126
We're here to honor film, you know.
127
And there's a lot of snubs, a lot of snubs.
128
One of the biggest snubs no one's talking about.
129
My favorite actor in the world is Paul Giamatti.
130
Paul Giamatti, I believe, is the greatest actor in the world.
131
Think about what Paul Giamatti has done the last couple of years.
132
Last year, he's in 12 Years a Slave, hates black people.
133
This year, he's in Straight Outta Compton, loves black people.
134
Last year, he's whooping Lupita.
135
This year, he's crying at Easy E's funeral.
136
Now, that's range.
137
Yeah, Ben Affleck can't do that.
138
But what I'm trying to say is, you know, it's not about boycotting anything is just we want opportunity.
139
We want black actors to get the same opportunities as white actors.
140
That's it.
141
That's it.
142
You know?
143
Not just once.
144
You know, Leo gets a great part every year.
145
And, you know, everybody...
146
All you guys get great parts all the time.
147
But what about the black actors?
148
Look at Jamie Foxx.
149
Jamie Foxx is one of the best actors in the world, man.
150
Jamie Foxx, yeah!
151
Jamie Foxx was so good in Ray that they went to the hospital and unplugged the real Ray Charles.
152
It's like, we don't need two of these.
153
No, man.
154
But the big thing, you know, everything's not about race, man.
155
Another big thing tonight is you're not allowed, Somebody told me that you're not allowed to ask women what they're wearing anymore.
156
It's the whole thing, you know, ask her more.
157
You have to ask her more.
158
Now, you know, it's like, you ask the men more.
159
Hey, everything's not sexism.
160
Everything's not racism.
161
They ask the men more because the men are all wearing the same outfits, okay?
162
Every guy there is wearing the exact same thing.
163
You know, if George Clooney showed up with a lime green tux on and a swan coming out his ass,
164
somebody would go, what you wearing, George?
165
Hey, welcome to the 88 Oscar Gaby Awards.

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
