With Will Smith’s No Good Really Bad Oscars Night sucking all the air out of the room, is no one is troubled by sexualized, incredibly cringy, not funny Oscars bit they had Regina Hall do, frisking Jason Mamoa and Josh Brolin?
Can you imagine scripting a male actor doing that and thinking it would be funny, or even OK?!
I can’t.
And yet the headlines reporting on this read “A Very Single Regina Hall Uses Oscars To Find A Boyfriend, Pats Down Jason Momoa,” and begin as follows:
Regina Hall kicked off the 2022 Academy Awards by announcing her single status and using the beginning of the broadcast to find love.
The Oscars co-host used fake pandemic protocols to attempt to find her next squeeze, singling out Timothée Chalamet, Tyler Perry, Bradley Cooper, Simu Liu and more to get “tested” backstage. The men leaped up to the stage, where they found out that Hall planned to administer the test with her tongue.
OK. then. I feel sorry for Regina Hall, and I feel sorry for all of us!
