Best lines from Chris Rock's #OscarsSoWhite opening monologue

Some lines from Chris Rock’s opening monologue:

I counted at least 15 black people on that montage

I'm here at the Academy Awards - otherwise known as the white people's choice awards

If they nominated hosts, I wouldn't get this job

You'd be watching Neil Patrick Harris right now

(people saying) ‘Chris you should boycott. . . you should quit. . . ‘

How come it's only unemployed people who tell you to quit something?

They're not gonna cancel the Oscars if I quit

The last thing i need is to lose another job to Kevin Hart

Why this Oscars? it's the 88th Academy Awards... which means this whole thing has happened at least 71 other times...

(Why not protest earlier?) We had real things to protest at the time

Too busy being raped and lynched to care about who was best cinematographer

When your grandmother is hanging from a tree, it's real hard to care about best short documentary foreign short

Jada (Pinkett-Smith) boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties - I wasn't invited.

I get it... it's not fair that Will (Smith) was this good and didn't get nominated.

It's also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for ‘Wild Wild West.’

(Tonight) In Memoriam will just be black people who got shot by police on their way to the movies.

If you want black nominees every year, you need black categories... You already have man and woman categories... it's not track and field.

Like . . . Best Black Friend . . . and the winner for the 18th year in a row is Wanda Sykes

Is Hollywood racist? Is it burning-cross racist? No... It's a different type of racist...

Hollywood is sorority racist - we like you Rhonda but you're not Kappa

Some people call it "Creed." I call it "Black Rocky." . . in a world where white athletes are as good as black athletes. It's a science fiction film.

We want opportunity. We want black actors to get the same opportunities... Not just once.

Leo gets a great part every year. . . What about Jamie Foxx?

Everything's not about race. . . You're not allowed to ask women what you're wearing anymore. You have to ask her more.

They ask the men more because they're wearing the same outfits.
