Oscars 2022 hosts Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes, Regina Hall brought the jokes during their opening monologue.
LOS ANGELES -- Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes, Regina Hall brought the jokes during their opening monologue at the 2022 Oscars.
Sykes, Schumer and Hall breezily joked through prominent Hollywood issues like pay equity - they said three female hosts were"cheaper than one man" - the Lady Gaga drama Sykes called"House of Random Accents," and Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriends."You know what's in the In Memoriam this year?" Schumer asked."The Golden Globes."
The bill, which passed earlier this month and has been staunchly defended by Gov. Ron DeSantis, forbids instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade. Its passing by Florida lawmakers rejected an onslaught of criticism from Democrats that it marginalizes LGBTQ people.
The shot at the Florida bill wasn't the only political jab the hosts took in their opening monologue.
