"See you Sunday..." the comedian posted along with the hashtags #blackout and #oscars. He also posted a 15-second clip of television static along with the message. It's unclear exactly what he means, though one can easily guess what he's getting at.

The message comes after weeks of conversation surrounding diversity at the award show, prompted by the fact that all of the acting nominees are white for the second year in a row. Much speculation has arisen around how Rock will tackle the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, but this tweet seems to confirm that the issue will take center stage come Sunday.
