He is a movie star who has been perhaps trained to slap that way? Or he just didn't land a direct hit, it happens. Smiles can mean a lot of things. Smith smiling out of satisfaction because had wanted to do that for awhile. Rock smiling because of how uncomfortable he is over getting slapped on national TV. Just like how Will was laughing at the joke initially. You hear something you know is supposed to be funny, you are uncomfortable and smile to go a long with it. Then you think about it for second and realize it wasn't funny at all.
Going on a decade since the last time I watched this self righteous garbage. It is incredibly bad and has been for even longer than the last decade.....probably the last 20 years now it has been unwatchable. It has all become about political agendas.....not movies. The amount of self rightiousness that is displayed not only on the Oscars.......but also The Grammey’s, The Golden Globes or whatever award show you want to insert in here is ridiculous. It has been unwatchable for me personally for a long time.
He was clearly chuckling about the joke......then went postal.
You have got to be ****ing kidding me.......pathetic. A new low.
They seem to have taken the jokes pretty well for years until last night and honestly the joke was kind of tame.
Yes, I was happy to see them out there comforting the guy who just slapped someone. Will must have been very shaken after attacking the guy who had to then continue on live TV.
That makes Sonny Corleone's beat-down of Carlo look like something ripped from real-life by comparison.
I'm not defending what Will Smith did but the guy was clearly having some kind of episode. They were just trying to diffuse the situation.
He calmly walked up there like he was going to have a quiet word. Slapped him, then sat back down. He had the wherewithal to give a speech, and there's video of him dancing with his Oscar at the Vanity Fair after party.
The only thing more bonkers than his speech was the actual slap. As far as the decision to go to the after party after what happened, I don't know what they were thinking. I was just saying that those guys who tried to diffuse the situation during the break did it from a place of grace and empathy. If I haven't said it yet or wasn't clear, what Will Smith did to Chris Rock last night was horrific and unconscionable.
Well they mostly handled it fine at event. Laugh and move on. At least that’s what I remember. I don’t remember his exact jokes but I think he’s an ##### generally. I just don’t get why the award show for an industry would used as a way to roast all the people being honored. It would be like bringing a comedian to the NFL Hall of Fame to make jokes about Ray Lewis’ involvement in a homicide, CTE and Kareem Hunt’s domestic abuse.
I presume it's like flat earthers
Because that's the only way I would watch it. Take the humor out of the event, and you would have no viewers. And the Gervaise Oscars was the most entertaining one I'd ever seen.
Sonny’s life is better when told in a 20 second montage accompanied by Puff Daddy music.
Especially the bizarre cover of Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit In the Sky” sung by joyous and slightly off tune gospel singers as a montage of Hollywood dead appears on screen behind them. That should have been the headline.
I don't get it either.
Irritated with how this was done. The focus should have been on those who have passed on as opposed to the dancers/singers who were performing in front of the screen.
I’m with on the general sentiment but I could name the last three bc I streamed each of them - and IIRC Parasite did great at the box office
Why do I feel you are being political here? Are you a Qanon believer? I just want to know so I know whether or not to put you on ignore. You have an awful lot of the same opinions as my Q sister in law.
I have no idea if it was staged or not. But that slap looked staged to some degree. The previous post is interesting and kind of comes to this conclusion. Just very odd and looked even stranger.
If Rock doesn't press charges and doesn't participate in the prosecution, the defense can argue that it was all a work (staged) and no one would testify to the contrary. A battery is a strike without consent.
When I first saw the clip, I thought, "eh, if you're gonna shave your head you're going to have to deal with the flack that comes with it." Then I learned that she struggles with alopecia and that changed everything. I'm ok with making fun of women's appearances. I'm not ok with making fun of people's diseases/ailments.
Denzel could have said “dude - you’re wrong” instead of waxing poetic about the devil. It’s called accountability.
None of us know what Denzel actually said or the context in which he said it. That devil line could have happened during a different conversation and have had nothing to do with any of this. You're going off one line in a rambling, incoherent speech given by a guy who just assaulted a comedian on stage in from of millions of people. What I saw was three guys trying to diffuse a bonkers situation. Everybody around him had to have been in shock.
