After the ceremony opened with Beyonce’s performance of “Be Alive”, DJ Khaled introduced the co-hosts Schumer, Sykes, and Hall who began their time on-stage with witty quips, low-blows and pointed political comedy. Below is a list of the evening’s best jokes: “This year the Academy hired three women to host, because it’s cheaper than one man.” Amy Schumer “We’re going to have a great night. Presenting is where it’s at.” Woody Harrelson “I’m Amy Schumer or as they know me in Hollywood, ‘Melissa McCarthy said no’.” Amy Schumer “After years of Hollywood ignoring women’s stories, we finally got a movie about the Williams sisters’. “Will Smith, you’re married but, you know, you’re on the list and looks like Jada approved you, so get on up here!” Regina Hall delivered the “punchline” of her “surprise Covid tests” skit about Hollywood’s desirable men, after inviting actors Bradley Cooper, Tyler Perry, Timothee Chalamet, Simu Liu, and Jacob Elordi to join her backstage.
