"Paparazzi" actor Chris Rock, chosen to host this year's Oscars, may be too outrageous for the ceremony especially after he poked fun at it, reports the New York Post.

In an interview to the TV channel Entertainment Weekly, Rock called Hollywood's most prestigious awards function "a fashion show" and implied that it was mostly for gay people.

"Nothing against people who aren't straight. But what straight guy that you know cares (about the Oscars)," Chris had said.

According to some members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that organises the event, the actor was a little off the top to host the awards.

An unidentified Academy member said: "Simply put, this is a disgrace".

But Academy Awards producer Gil Cates seemed sure about Rock. He said: "We have no intention of asking Chris to step aside. These were humorous digs at a show that some people, obviously including Chris Rock, think may be a bit too stuffy. We can't wait to watch him perform."

The Oscars this year will be held Feb 27.
