“I think there is definitely pressure in one way to be like, ‘This is a vacation, let people forget we just want to have this night,’ but it is like well we have so many eyes and ears on this show,” she explained.
“I think it’s a great opportunity to at least comment on a couple of things. I have some jokes that kind of highlight the sort of current condition. I mean, there are so many awful things happening that it seems hard to focus on which one,” she went on to say, revealing that she tried pitching producers with having Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appear via satellite.
“I actually pitched, I wanted to find a way to have Zelenskyy satellite in or make a tape or something just because there are so many eyes on the Oscars,” she said, adding that it was turned down.
“I am not afraid to go there, but it’s not me producing the Oscars.”
