READ THE FUNNIEST CHRIS ROCK'S OSCAR JOKES ,,,,,, AND REACTIONS

Welcome to the Oscars, otherwise known as the "White People's Choice Awards"

Chris Rock started the show as he meant to go on - with hilarious, but pointed, jokes at the 'sorority racism' of Hollywood

2. "Things are changing, we've got a black Rocky this year!And this is outstanding because Rocky takes place in a world where white athletes are as good as black athletes - it's a science fiction movie!"

This is true. He then said Star Wars was more realistic.

3. "Of all the girl-on-girl movies I've seen this year, Carol was the third best"

This was anger-inducing, but got a good chuckle. CAROL WAS ROBBED.

4. "How come only unemployed tell you to quit something? No-one with a job tells you to quit. I thought about quitting, I thought about it real hard but then I thought they are going to have the Oscars anyway and the last thing I need is to lose another job to Kevin Hart."

Strong words about #OscarSoWhite got everyone chucking.

5. "Jada's gonna boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited."

This was a slight burn.

6. Hollywood is “sorority racist, like ‘We like you, Ronda, but you’re not a Kappa.’”

Seriously, could @chrisrock be more amazing?

7. “You get mad that Will was this good and didn’t get nominated” [for his role in Concussion]. “It’s also not fair that Will was paid $20m to do Wild Wild West.”

8. “If they nominated hosts I wouldn’t even get this job so you’d be watching Neil Patrick Harris right now.”

9. "Robert De Niro’s never said, ‘I have to slow this acting down so Meryl Streep can catch up.’”

10. “You’re not allowed to ask women what they’re wearing any more. Everything’s not sexism; everything’s not racism. They ask the men more because they’re all wearing the exact same thing. If George Clooney came in a lime-green tux with a swan coming out of his ass they’d say, ‘What are you wearing George?’”

11. “This year, things are going to be a little different. This year, in the In Memoriam package, it’s just going to be black people that were shot by the cops on their way to the movies … yes I said it!”
