I feel like he could've been so much more meaningful in his speech and that he played it really safe. Also I was really annoyed with this portion of it: Another big thing tonight is — somebody told me this — you’re not allowed to ask women what they’re wearing anymore.
There’s this whole thing, “Ask her more. You have to ask her more.” You know it’s like, You ask the men more.
Everything’s not sexism, everything’s not racism.
They ask the men more because the men are all wearing the same outfits, O.K.? Every guy in there is wearing the exact same thing.
You know, if George Clooney showed up with a lime green tux on, and a swan coming out his ass, somebody would go, “What you wearing, George?”
Because I felt like he was SUPER OVERSIMPLIFYING things. Like, he's all "we ask ladies about their clothes because they wear different fancy clothes" but I wish he thought about WHY women do that and the objectifying and fashion standards and the fact that all a lot of people would even mention about the Oscars later on would be "DID YOU SEE SO AND SO ON THE RED CARPET HER DRESS LOOKED TERRIBLE". Ugh.
