The second-time host referred to the diversity issue and some shade was thrown on Jada Pinket-Smith who boycotted the 88th Academy Awards. Rock joked that Jada may be on a television show. According to Chris, her boycotting the Oscars looks like his boycotting Rihanna’s panties.

The tune was written specially for The Hunting Ground. It tells about the rape in college campuses. Lady Gaga starred as a sexual assault survivor.
