When Seth MacFarlane presented the Oscars, his routine was described as “hostile, ugly and sexist” by the New Yorker amongst many others. His opening song was all about — yep, you guessed it – boobs. Specifically those of the actors in the audience that he’d seen onscreen.
The routine was lambasted, especially as some of the scenes he referenced were rape scenes, and some, such as in the case of Scarlett Johansson, were only seen due to hackers releasing intimate private photos without consent.
MacFarlane later said the song came from reading press in the run-up to his hosting gig, which implied they knew the type of content he’d put out, and they didn’t want it. He said his original idea was a “very tame, old-style song and dance,” but that it was “the idea of creating an alternate Oscars that was exactly what they were afraid would happen” that enticed him, and said that, “In a way, (the public) helped create what (they) despise.”
So basically, he read an article where someone predicted what he was going to do, and he decided to really show them by erm…doing exactly what they predicted he would do??
