Oscar hosts Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall opened the 94th Oscars telecast on Sunday by taking digs at Senator Mitch McConnell and Florida’s ‘Don’t’ Say Gay” Bill.
“This year we saw frightening display oh how toxic masculinity turns into cruelty towards women and children,” Regina Hall said. “Damn that Mitch McConnell,” responded Wanda Sykes.
Hall added: “I know but I was actually talking about ‘The Power of the Dog.’”
“I watched that movie three times and I am halfway through it,” Sykes rebounded with the punchline about Jane Campion’s Netflix Western drama.
