The thing is, I'm not even mad that for some reason almost half of the presenters were black. It was the Chris Rock (whom as a comedian I fucking love) monologues and incredibly shitty vignettes regarding how racist white folks are that made me less than stoked. If they were even -sort- of representing their own demographic, it would have been Freeman and Rock, maybe Whoopi, and then tons of white folks. But it wasn't, and I have to believe that the outrage that some second rate "blacks only" films didn't win oscars is completely manufactured. Straight Out of Compton was a decent flick, but unless we give awards for being "black" it most certainly was not anything special. The whole thing stunk of obvious pandering, and only got more obvious about it as the show went on.
