Chris Rock introduces 'shoulda-been nominee' Michael B. Jordan
Oscar hosts rarely end up editorializing about the nominees themselves, but as he introduced presenter Michael B. Jordan, Chris Rock couldn't resist. "A shoulda-been nominee, Michael B. Jordan," Rock exclaimed as the actor took the stage.
Rock was presumably referring to Jordan's starring role as Adonis Johnson in Creed, though it's possible he was talking about his supporting role as Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four. Given that Fantastic Four just tied for Worst Picture at the Razzies, however, it's probably safe to assume the former.
