Academy Awards producer Reginald Hudlin says host Chris Rock is hard at work rewriting his material for next month's Oscar show.

Hudlin told "Entertainment Tonight" on Saturday that Rock is eager to host the 88th Academy Awards on Feb. 28, even as a few black celebrities have decided not to attend the show for its lack of diversity.

Hudlin said Rock had written a draft for the show, but threw it out and started anew as "things got a little provocative and exciting."

He said he expects Rock to make jokes about the OscarsSoWhite hashtag, and that the film academy welcomes such humor.

Disney might insist on painting the left arm red, as product placement.

I think “P” means pansexual. That’s what Miley Cyrus called herself.

What does it mean? They’re attracted to everything? I’d better hide the vacuum cleaner.

The mind sort of boggles when you get beyond the first two options.
The FBI has 57 options to describe the “sex” of a self-identifying individual.
The last choice is “Other”.

“A young lady from Hume
asked a fairy boy up to her room.
They spent the rest of the night,
in a hell of a fight
As to who should do what and to whom.”
