EXCERPT - Saturday Night Live recap: Ronda Rousey by Devan Coggan

#OscarsSoWhite
SNL took on the Oscars diversity controversy with the “Screen Guild Awards,” recognizing exclusively white actors over their black costars, no matter how minor their role. It’s a pretty straightforward parody, but pitch-perfect imitations of films like Creed, Straight Outta Compton, and Beasts of No Nation, bolstered by some excellent side-eye from Michael Che, Leslie Jones, and Jay Pharoah in the audience, made this one a winner. The voiceover at the end — “Coming up next, the award for best male director” — was the cherry on top.
