  • Who cares, the Oscars are awards made by the pretentious for the pretentious. As you say they are all actors so sincerity is something they would feign anyway.

  • Was it assault, yes ! Was it warranted Yes ! I dont care who you are or what the occasion, you run your mouth and insult someones wife, there will be consequences. Add to that rhe difficult relationsh

  • Fortunately for Will, he is black. So 5 minutes later he was winning an Oscar for Best Actor. The audience looked on adoringly. Applause all round. That's real privilige.

The contrast of Rock's composed and dignified reaction, to Smith's out of control anger says it all, about who the bigger man in the room was. 

Indeed, if someone hits me I tend to hit them back if I'm still consciouss.

 

I would like to think that had Will Smith done this to me I'd knock him clean out and they'd have to stretcher him out of the building for treatment, like an injured footballer ????????

Lol, no - I'm sure he'd kick my ass but I do know one thing - I'd definitely get at least 1 punch in before I went down.

There appears to be a pretty serious back story...

 

The GI Jane 2 joke was a reference to Jada Pinket's bald head, shaved due to a recent diagnosis of alopecia. So Chris Rock was joking about Will Smith's wife's medical condition, which does make it a little more understandable why he over-reacted. He did tearfully apologize during his acceptance speech. Still, a disappointing display of poor behavior, which sadly feeds unfair stereotypes about black men. I prefer to focus on the Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmation hearings which should be a source of pride and hope for all Americans.

Smith needs to go down for this - I mean, be blacklisted for a few years as punishment. If he objected to the joke he should have walked out and made a suitable complaint later, not got up in front of millions - including children - hit a guy on live television then sat down hurling expletives. What kind of an example is that?

 

There's no secret about his wife's condition - she has made videos about it in order to get attention. If anything, the joke was an ice-breaker to get people to ease up about a little-known condition. They should have just laughed.

Smith swearing looked real but he is an actor. The smirk on stage and Rock leaning into the slap gives it away though.

Whilst I'm younger than Will Smith I'm not 10 years younger than him.

They may both be fake plastic people but I believe the incident was real.

Also Smith had the skills to  avoid actually causing damage.

Smith laughed at the joke initially. <deleted>?

He's an actor, it's what they do.

I bet the Oscar jury is now wishing they'd stuck with their tried and tested tradition of only giving Oscars to white folk.

Violence not condoned. That link DISPROVES your premise.

Nope. 99% in favour of Smith except for fake slap.

That is just stupid! The core of the controversy is the freakin' slap!

More and more I'm in the "fake slap" brigade. Play acting.

He leaned in waiting to be hit. First defence in real fight you lean back.

I was trying to figure out what the heck this was all about, since the OP post here didn't say much...

 

And  then I found this:

 

"For the unaware, Will Smith’s wife Jada has a condition called alopecia, which causes excessive hair fall. ... Chris, during the event, joked that Jada looked like GI Jane 2. Jada rolled her eyes at the very mention of it and Will went to the stage and landed a punch on Chris’ face. "

Slap no punch. Rock leans on. Smith smirks as he walks away. Fake.
