Leslie Jones didn’t keep back in providing her signature unfiltered commentary throughout the 2021 Oscars event.
The 53-year-old Saturday Night Live alum required to Instagram while viewing the telecast on Sunday, April 25 to publish video footage of herself grumbling about the length of the program’s approval speeches. Her belief mirrored grievances from Twitter users throughout the night about the absence of music to cut off the speeches.
Leslie shot her video as Mank‘s Erik Messerschmidt was accepting the reward for Best Cinematography. The comic appeared especially troubled by Erik’s remark that he wanted he might divide the prize “into five pieces” in order to share it with his fellow candidates.
“But we really hope that you don’t cut it into five pieces because, Lord have mercy,” Leslie stated in her video. “Everybody done got up there and said about 17 minutes of a f–king speech. It’s already in the Alcoholics-Anonymous-and-we-gonna-roast-each-other f–king building. And you motherf–kers look scared as f–k.”
She continued, “Don’t get up there and do a three-hour speech. So no, you shouldn’t be able to cut it into five parts. Thank God and move on, son!”
