VIDEO : Chris Rock Will Have to Balance Humor and Diversity at Oscars

Just because hosting the Oscars is considered to be an honor in the comedy world, doesn't mean comedians don't have to work hard at the role. Former Saturday Night Live actor Chris Rock has a tough task ahead of him for Sunday's award show. As a black comedian and writer, he has to tackle a tricky racially charged backlash against Hollywood's biggest awards night. The hashtag #OscarsSoWhite has been casting a shadow over the awards ceremony, on top of calls from industry greats like Spike Lee and Jaida Pinkette Smith to boycott the awards all together. But Chris Rock handled the show expertly back in 2005, and fans can be confident that he'll do the same great work again this Sunday.
