Not funny, not at all. There was a "OMG" kinda smirk on my face, like watching a movie where I can't believe they did that feel. But not funny. Was okay up until he did that. Seacrest did look pissed, but I have a hard time believing this was not staged.

Ok, I can't say this wasn't not-funny...
Ryan was SUPER pissed off, you can see it in his face, but he handled it quite well.

@pjwolsker i know i sound stuffier than the old, white men who chose Meryl Streep over Viola Davis, and the Iron Lady and Hugo over Harry Potter for Make-Up and Visual Effects respectively...I'm just one of those people who believe there is a certain level of respect and honor that should go into the Oscars. It seems wrong to make jokes at other people's expense just as a publicity stunt for a movie I honestly think will get a 14% on Rotten Tomatoes...just how i feel.

Cohen's an ass. I'm sorry. Didn't find that funny at all. Seacrest actually handled that really well.
