Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall hosted this year’s ceremony, starting with a speech in which they made jokes aimed at The Power of the Dog, JK Simmons and Samuel L Jackson. After Sykes and Hall left the stage, Sumer made jokes about King Richard and Being the Ricardos. However, her joke about Don’t Look Up caught the biggest fumes, due to her comments about the leading actor, DiCaprio. “Leonardo DiCaprio does so much for the planet,” Sumer said, adding: “It will leave him in a better position for his girlfriends.” Many actors in the audience, including Will Smith, Timothée Chalamet and Jessica Chastain, gasped, covering their heads with their hands. This is not the first time the 47-year-old actor has been fired for his relationship with younger women at an awards show. Earlier this month in Baftas, Rebel Wilson approached 20-year-old CODA star Emilia Jones, saying: “I will give you the award for the person in the crowd that Leonardo DiCaprio would find more attractive … He likes young people. . » In 2020, the presenter of the Golden Globes, Ricky Gervais, made an excavation in the star talking about the movie Quentin Tarantino Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. “[It’s] “Almost three hours – it’s an epic,” he said, adding: “Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere and in the end his date was very old for him.” Amy Sumer’s joke about Leonardo DiCaprio causes a stir at the Oscars (AFP via Getty Images) As the audience – including DiCaprio – laughed, Xerve continued: “Even Prince Andrew says ‘Come on, friend, you’re almost 50, my son.’ Register DiCaprio is currently dating 22-year-old model Camila Morone. The highlight of the ceremony came when Will Smith hit Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Smith, who won the Best Actor role for King Richard, burst into tears during his speech, in which he shared what Washington had told him after the incident. After the incident, a joke that Rock made about Pinkett Smith at the 2016 Oscars reappeared on the internet. Earlier in the ceremony, Regina Hall – who hosted the ceremony with Schumer and Wanda Sykes – mocked Smith and Pinkett Smith’s wedding. Dune and Coda were the big winners of the night, with the latter winning all three nominations, including Best Picture. Find the full list of Oscar 2022 winners here.
