Imagine being an actress, singer, and dancer, and being made fun of at yet another elite gala to reward the best of film and television. Well, that happened to Ariana DeBose last night at the 2024 Critic Choice Awards, when one of the hosts joked about the artist ‘thinking of herself’ as a singer.
This joke at the public’s expense is already getting out of control. First, the slap Chris Rock received at the Oscars, then at the Golden Globes all the misogynistic jokes that host Jo Koy made about the Barbie movie, Taylor Swift, among others. Now for the 29th edition of the Critics Choice Awards, our beloved Bella Ramsey, known for her roles in series like The Last of Us and Game of Thrones, made an awful taste joke by presenting the “famous voices” in the category, including Billie Eilish, Lenny Kravitz and Dua Lipa, before joking, “And there are the actors who also think that they’re singers: Jack Black, Ariana DeBose, Ryan Gosling.”
Ariana DeBose reacted badly to the joke and made it very clear with a post on Instagram. If anything is clear to us from all this, it is that bad-taste jokes should end now. Better bring back Rick Gervais. 😛
