So I don't know for sure, but I suspect if Jimmy Carr was in Rock's place, he'd have done at least a couple of minutes of HIGHLY tasteless jokes at the Smiths' expense, Academy Awards audience or not. Which of course is one of several reasons he'd never get the chance.
Bill Burr would also have been an interesting guy to have had in that position.
