But Rocks most daring moment came when he began to bash other actors at the ceremony.
Clint Eastwood is a star, okay?
Tobey Maguire is just a boy in tights, Rock said, referencing Maguires then-status as Spider-Man.
He then went in on Law: You want Tom Cruise and all you might get is Jude Law?
Its not the same thing.
Who is Jude Law?
Why is he in every movie I have seen the last four years?
Even the movies hes not acting in.
If you look at the credits, he made cupcakes or something.
Forgive my lack of humor, Penn said, before answering Rocks initial query.
Jude Law is one of our most talented actors.
So what will Chris Rock bring to the stage in 2016?
Comedian, actor, writer, producer, director, documentarian hes done it all.
Hes going to be a phenomenal Oscar host!
Just dont tell Jude Law.
