In light of Seth MacFarlane’s sexist, unfunny performance at the Academy Awards ceremony this year, we demand that the Academy ask a funny woman to host the 2014 ceremony, Sarah Silverman.
Why is this important?
Seth MacFarlane’s performance at the Academy Awards ceremony this year was not only misogynistic and sexist, it was not very funny. It’s clear that, at least when it comes to seeing women primarily in terms of their appearance, and especially their boobs, there are no limits to what a host of the Oscar show may say. So, we demand that next year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ask a woman and feminist to host the show, while giving her free reign to present a feminist take on Hollywood. And since it might make for a better show if the host is actually funny, we strongly suggest the Academy ask Sarah Silverman to host.
