The most critically-acclaimed Academy Awards happened recently and some of the things that happened made us nearly fall off our chairs in shock and laughter. Here are some of the things that made the Oscars feel like a Nollywood movie script.
The host of the awards, Chris Rock began by throwing major shade at the organisers for the lack of diversity the categories had.
He then proceeded to troll Will and Jada Smith for boycotting the Oscars.
He reminded us of Patience Ozokwor, the one and only revered queen of shade in Nollywood.
After being snubbed four times, and pulling an Nkiru Sylvanus on the world with his role in The Revenant movie…
And being extremely pitiful…
Leonardo Dicarprio finally won the Oscar he had been crying for.
And just like how we sometimes expect to see Ramsey Nouah slay a nice movie and the directors choose to snub him and slap Emeka Ike on our faces instead…
The Academy also chose to snub awesome nominated movies like The Martian and Star Wars and awarding movies like Spotlight and The Hateful Eight.
And the mother of plot twists, right after making this ridiculous statement….
This happened.
Not to forget, the dramatic wardrobe assemble.
When you have to be young and be someone’s old fairy god mother at the same time.
