Some of the best jokes from Chris Rock's Oscars night [1] came right out the gate during his hilarious opening monologue [2]. Beneath all the laughter, though, came some serious truth bombs about the lack of racial diversity in Hollywood. Back in the press room, some of the night's winners [3] were weighing in with their thoughts. One such pair of commentators included Adam McKay and Charles Randolph, who won for best adapted screenplay for The Big Short. Read on for a fresh take on the monologue.
"I thought it was great; I thought it was really great. I thought it was jabbing at Hollywood but at the same time even-handed and kind of dealing with a new era of how we discuss diversity. Very impressive and really funny."
