Transcript for Oscars’ biggest hits and misses
So whoopi is still out getting better and a lot of people were disappointed that she didn’t show up as a surprise host of the oscars last night. We miss you, whoopi. I hope you’re watching and can’t wait for you to get back here. But my question to the panel is how do you think they did without a host? To me it seems weird. Yeah. Although I was asleep most of it. I mean, it was — I think the second lowest rated oscars. Oh really? Yeah. I needed a host, okay? It’s like a Hollywood — these are Hollywood people so they know how to produce. I wanted a production. I wanted more of — what was his name that came — it was keegan-michael key that came from the ceiling and came down. I wanted that. I wanted Melissa Mccarthy in the big costume with the animals attached to it. What do you mean you wanted more of that. I wanted more. I wanted pomp and circumstance. I want Maya Rudolph, Tina fey, Amy Poehler. I wanted production. Remember when whoopi came out with that queen Elizabeth big costumes? Yes. Give me production and pomp and circumstance. Or when Sally field came flying in. Yeah. Hollywood. I actually didn’t even know there wasn’t a host. What? I always fall asleep during awards shows but I kind of liked no host. I wouldn’t be surprised if other award shows go that route. They realize it’s a lot of work. A lot of people don’t want to do it because it doesn’t always help their career. Although I love Melissa Mccarthy. How about dance numbers? We don’t need dancing. Like dancing, Billy crystal superimposing himself into movies. I don’t want dance numbers. Joy! I don’t want dance numbers. What did you think, Meghan? I fell asleep and I asked permission for that to be said on air. You didn’t have a dance number. I loved Adam lambert and his opening with queen. Like more of that, more excitement, whatever. Energy. And I watched — yeah, that’s like what I watched. Then I caught a bunch of clips in the morning. Yeah, I’m with you. I think they need a host and I just — it’s okay to be a little controversial, like even like — It was a little. Like with spike Lee and — Let me get to that. I’m sorry. I always do this. That’s okay. Let’s go to a few standout moments and then you can weigh in on that. One performance was so steamy it fogged up the TV screens around the world. You know what I’m talking about, right? Mm-hmm. Let’s watch. ??? We’re far from the shallow now ??? ??? in the shallow, shallow ??? ??? in the shallow, shallow shallow ??? ??? in the shallow, shallow, we’re far from the shallow now ??? Your face, sunny. They need to get a room, these two. I mean — I just for me — Somebody said — When you turn your face into a meme, reaction to that, please because that’s how everyone feels. If you are Bradley cooper’s girlfriend, that’s how you were looking at it. That was some good acting for her. Their chemistry is so hot it actually scares me. Oh please, they’re actors. Get over it. I don’t feel that way. I actually wanted to leave the room like they need their own space. Oh come on. If they were really doing it, they wouldn’t be doing it on television, okay? That kind of chemistry you cannot act, joy. Baloney. So many years of watch Hollywood movies, there’s plenty of chemistry between Lauren bacall and Humphrey bow gurt. A lot of them get married. Didn’t they get married? First they met and it got hot and then they got married. See, see? Look at Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. What about them? They met and then you saw that kind of stuff and then — I have to tell you, I’m uncomfortable with this now because there is a girlfriend involved and there’s a child involved. I love lady gaga but if they are together, just pull the trigger. Everyone seems to think it anyway. She was sitting between them, did you see that? I love lady gaga and all her outfits. Somebody askedady gaga who are you wearing and she said Bradley cooper. Spike Lee won his first Oscar ever for co-writing black klansman and he used his acceptance speech for one of the most political moments. The 2020 presidential election is around the corner. Let’s all mobilize. Let’s all be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love versus hate. Let’s do the right thing! So, needless to say, trump was not happy with this. He’s supposed to be heading to Vietnam, trump right now, but he found some executive time to tweet back. This is what he wrote. It would be nice if spike Lee could read his notes when he’s doing a racist hit on your president who has done more for African-Americans. Does that include Abraham Lincoln? Why was that a racist hit? Because if the shoe fits and you think every little remark about you is racist, maybe you ought to look in the mirror. Also, I thought that he was — I really — I love spike Lee but also he was refreshing for a lot of different reasons. His clothes, I like that he wore tennis shoes. He had a tribute to prince with his necklace. I also think art is political. I’m on a different side than he is politically but I like people taking time when they have a moment to — Right. I’m not one of these people that’s like everybody in Hollywood should shut the blank up. I actually think we have a reality show president. He’s using his name this way and I don’t understand what the problem is and I wish the oscars and all awards shows lean into it a little bit. These are tumultuous times and we are in a pool that we say controversial things all the time. Life does go on and it’s okay for people to speak their truth when they get an award. I enjoy it also. Guess what, he did not mention trump’s name. He didn’t mention trump’s name. Advice for president trump, don’t go after spike Lee. It’s not going to end well. Google central park five in case you’re wondering if trump is a racist.
