Not only did the moment last a little too long, but it also felt strange to have a laugh at the film's main premise given that some Academy voters reportedly didn't even bother to watch the film.
I didn't like this. Not one bit. Somehow every time white people make a joke with or about black people...it always manages to come off very offensive. as if we're there to entertain them. Am I being too woke? 🤔 https://t.co/NQo1PqMUZW

Another awards show, another evening of uncomfortable moments.
