Neil Patrick Harris’ 87^th Oscar Award show out of Hollywood, California, came and went with mixed results. Despite the one time Tony and Emmy award show host‘s charismatic approach to the prestigious event, it was to no avail, as several jokes fell on deaf ears.

“Tonight we honor Hollywood’s best and whitest — I mean brightest,” he joked, in a subtle nod to this year’s deficiency in demographics that are not white and male.

Neil Patrick Harris wasn’t alone on the event’s criticism. Before announcing the Best Picture’s winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance),” Sean Penn, the category’s presenter, exclaimed “who gave this son of a bitch his green card?” That garnered negative reactions among viewers, however Iñárritu seems to not be among them.

“I found it hilarious. Sean and I have that kind of brutal [relationship] where only true friendship can survive,” he said.
