We have 10 nominees, and this year’s nominees include only one white man,” he began. “Ha ha, your time is over, white man.” “I’m joking, you guys came back. Wow, what a comeback you guys had,” he said, as the audience responded in laughter. “I’ll be honest, we had counted you out. And you showed us.
