Yep. He will get roasted for this. It should have been the night of his life. What a fool.

Not watching. What was supposed to be the night of his life? Did he win something? Or was he supposed to?

He won best actor a half hour after the incident. His speech was pretty bad, and no apology to Chris Rock.

I absolutely loved CODA. But Best Picture worthy? I don’t know. That said, I don’t feel that strongly about the other nominated films I saw (other than feeling strongly that Power of the Dog should not have won).

Part of me thinks it could be staged - I literally didn't care about the Oscars at all tonight - so from that POV I guess it could be staged to make people more interested in a weird way.
But Will laughed initially and Jada was pissed which prompted Will to reacted - at least that's how I'm reading it. If it was planned, I think Will would have acted pissed right away.
But what do I know? I've only seen the 1 minute clip of the incident and still haven't turned on the Oscars

So Will is now the leading contender for the the lead in "The Juwan Howard Story”?

Chastain was insanely overdue.
I watch every new film that wins Best Picture so I'm celebrating because now I don't have to waste my time with that likely pile of crap called Power Of The Dog. It will fall into the scrap heap with other depressathons like The Hours and Phantom Thread.

I don't forget Shakespeare in Love. One of the biggest piles of s*** to ever win an Academy Award.Chastain was insanely overdue.

Saving Private Ryan should have won all of the Academy Awards that night. I'm still miffed

And then he started crying when he was back in his seat the apparently. I mean, come on.
True enough, but how long do people talk about best actor wins? This is going to be talked and joked about forever. In the realm of there is no such thing as bad publicity this will be huge.
He definitely should not have gone up there and slapped him of course. No matter how in bad taste Rock's joke was or whatever bad blood may have existed before this.

And on stage accepting his award, say the crying wasn’t for the award. Said “love will make you do crazy things”.

Yeah, I did not feel that strongly about any of the films for best picture, but happy that it won. Its ending is a bit predictable, even well-told and original in its focus. I thought most of the nominees were fairly weak this year — I think the pandemic delayed what would usually get and a bit of a down year for films.
I was definitely pulling for Kotsur for Best Supporting Actor though. Well-deserved.

Life long fame, privilege and wealth did that in my opinion. Entitlement is a powerful drug.

I just got the joke that fired Smith up. Smith is a thin skinned jackass.
Chris Rock should have started riffing about the rapper she was shagging. Full on standup.

First time we watched the Oscars as a family with my 11 and 8 year old kids, who I scold constantly for fighting, even though never more than just rough-housing. "Violence is not the answer."
They couldn't believe what happened on the tv, and neither could I.
29 year old me would have laughed at the stupidity of that whole thing, 49 year old me feels like Hollywood can go you-know-what itself.

Post-slap Rock said something like 'I could' then waved it off
Took that to mean he had plenty of other material to fire off if he chose to

"It was a GI Jane joke Chris!! You got off easy!! Just like your wife with that rapper."
That's where my mind went.

He's also at the point in his career where he is no longer the hottest name in town and is not getting first crack at the big budget scripts. He's getting offered a lot of "Dad" type of roles--like the role he won for.
It is not a new phenomenon. John Wayne was about the age Smith is now when Charlton Heston, James Dean and Marlon Brando began to make their mark, and he was infamously bitter about it, and made no apologies for his behavior.

And that Liza Minelli ending. Come on. Preserve her legacy a bit. That was uncomfortable.
In any case, the Oscars are a disaster. More of a show to watch to see what kind of crazy crap happens than a show to watch to honor artistry. Though I'll say the Coda actor's acceptance speech was outstanding.
But conversely, The Godfather commemoration was a disaster.

I'm not even sure why you guys are even watching them. Those people hate every single one of us between the coasts.
These guys give themselves so many awards that I'm surprised they actually have time to make any movies. What a bunch of pretentious #######.

For me the best part of Coda was that you could feel the love these people had for each other and the despair and hopelessness they had. So yea it was a bit formulaic but it set up that wallop of an ending with her song - really packed a punch for me. Not every movie has to be super original as long as it can resonate emotionally.

I want to hear what Rock says. I hope he's a better man than me because if I was him Jada, the Rapper, whomever else she's f'd and Will would be a key part of every one of my standup routines. I would do an HBO special just on them. Was it an insensitive joke? Yes. Would it have been glossed over without a 2nd thought if he didn't do anything? Yes. Have there been 100X worse jokes at the Oscars? Yes. Would many people not even have gotten the joke? Yes. He went farther than Kanye. That's hard to do. For all the black people he tried to be a "vessel" for - well, he f'd that up in the worst way. What an idiot. Hope he has a miserable night and even worse fallout.

Yeah, trainwreck night. Minelli, the P Diddy Godfather tribute, Wanda Sykes, Schumer, and Regina Hall were awful (and couldn’t keep the politics out which the Academy has been trying to do for a while.) The Gospel happy dancing In Memorial. Not showing SLJ’s lifetime achievement award. Having a song and dance number for a song that wasn’t even nominated. Nipslips.
Will Smith losing control will make it the most talked about Oscars in years but the rest of the broadcast was pretty awful.

They had Puff Daddy intro the 50 year anniversary of The Godfather, they then showed a 30 second or so montage of clip’s from all 3 movies while playing a medley of Puff Daddy songs before he introduced Pacino, Coppola, and DeNiro. I #### you not, that’s what they came up with to honor the 50th anniversary!

I just now found out what the ruckus was about. If Rock knew about her hair that's pretty lame.
Not get out of my seat and smack you on live TV material, but lame.
