Richard Dreyfuss on What Will Smith's Oscars Slap Says About America 

I reject this behavior is a part of all of us. I agree this is BS!

Males protecting their females. The more things change, the more they stay the same....

black privilege? or top actor privilege?

@@blitz_zen "he was defending his woman"...but we cant even define "woman" these days?

Black privilege. If he was white he would have definitely been arrested

Well you said it!

Given waaaay to much! They are just people like the rest of us. But they act entitled.

go to therapy

Dreyfus, a Liberal who condones much of what the Left does is a master of deflection on Megyn's first question. He is a schmuck.

Wish I could give this comment a million likes!!

When u think off it these stars they live in a bubble.there surrounded by yes people all there lives.maids,butlers,handbag carriers u name it...im telling u now ask these stars the price off a pint off milk or a slice off bread today and they would look at u like u asked the measurement off the moon.half off them couldnt change a light bulb if the power went..i get that interviews can be long same questions but have a look at the likes of denzil and robert downey.if he spoke to your wife on the street like that u would tell him..reality srars ,internet stars,ask most kids now what they want to be when they grow up and the answer isnt a teacher or doctor its i want to be famous..we live in a world were people getting beat up is filmed and passed around as amusement...as for will himself would he do that in the street?i doubt it.

Basically calling out both extremes of the political spectrum

@@NA86737and hypocrisy when it’s coming out of the same persons

There have to be consequences for our actions. He isn’t above the law

Consequences are coming. The Academy has yet to make its decision.

Anyone else would have been drug out of the building arrested and sent to jail 🤨 no questions asked.

F' the Academy because they will just slap him on the wrist. He should've been arrested or folks should've walk out. Instead they partied with the Smith's like it was 1999. Chris Rock should sue the Academy/Will & never return to #OscarSoCrazy.. ✌🏆🙄

Who cares its not that serious lol all he did was do a soft slap it aint like he beat the man up or shot him.

YES!!!

We allll know the main reason he's getting a pass. Let's not gloss over the elephant in the room. Don't believe me: What if Cint Eastwood did that? Hmmmmm, told ya. Two sets of standards. Facts. Want more? MSNBC and the other clowns at CNN are trying to make U f'ng Kraine about race. Let that sink in.

I can say this Will has been bully and manipulate from Jada for years, he was Laughing till he saw his toxic wife angry and she watch him laugh and then he reacted that’s when shit hit the fan, before she made him accept is ok to cheat on him on public with his son friend in his house and all the open crazy marriage ! If this was him manipulating her and been toxic ppl would be defending jada but no one cares his living this horrible life! He was wrong hitting Chris but this the low point and cry for help he needs to be help!

who can take this guy with a hundreds of plastic surgeries seriously. he is part of the problem

Not by CNN & all the fake news & dividers = who are constantly all for destruction & a failing America.

That, and you can legally blow some of them away in several states.

I agree. People make excuses for their bad behavior and blame others or the situation. No more self control leading some adults acting like children. The media...television and the internet...play a huge role in this decay.

@@dianepereira1860 Can't blame Will Smith behavior on anyone or anything except Will Smith.

@@putinscat1208 umm which state ? I’ll move there

If you take a look at what is present in all drinking water, even bottled water, it explains a lot.

It started when Bill Clinton blamed Monika Lewinsky for his infidelity. He threw her under the bus and didn't take blame for his actions and the news media believed their little darling.

SCSmith: I saw the same video when he talked about Civics no longer being taught in the classroom. I was shocked and did not know that. I agree with everything he says.

And it’s people like him and Hollywood who contributed to it over the decades

@@Straitsfan Exactly!

Absolutely a!

I hated my job as a result of political correctness compounded by a total disregard by the public of boundaries.

A Laudable Statement.

Richard Dreyfus’s has the spot on mindset of the abhorrent downfall of people today AND what being American should be! Of course, msm will never promote the truth he tells!!!

He doesn't get credit for finally realizing this now. We sure have lowered the bar on whose words we place quotation marks around. "At night, it gets dark!" My new hero - my 3 year old nephew.

I loved u in jaws, A Total Class-Act...

*are and I agree with you. We each bear a responsibility to decide what our boundaries are for ourselves, and to role model those for others. WE need to each be the teachers of each other. All of us.

Some of us still are, and we keep teaching them, no matter how hard it gets!

There are no grammar either, apparently.

Agree 100%, we are lost in confusion🤔

We are lost...in the moment...as a society. Every situation whether in the sports world... Hollywood...or political arena is dissected way beyond it's need. Social media will one day be regarded as the single most detrimental affliction to the youth of this country. It is full of fake facades and extremely creepy people who's agenda....whether it be social...political...or spiritual....is to grab the trust and obedience of those whom are too ignorant and/or trusting to take it on themselves to separate fact from fiction. Does that seem eerily similar to cult mentality?? Hmmm.......

I was glad to hear a voice of reason.

Hollywood SELLS this stuff 24/7! By continuing to BUY this stuff we are teaching generation after generation that it’s normal & OK! We become more and more complacent and become less disturbed by it. See how it already pales in comparison to all the smash & grabs that go on w/o consequences??

Obama and the rest of the left wing nuts who value pedophilia and transgenderism are responsible

@@MontecitoWealthyamen. I am reading about the death of Socrates from the writings of Plato, and am amazed at how much the writings of the Apostle Paul “borrowed” from Greek philosophy of that time and expanded it to show the answers to those mysteries that were pondered by Greek philosophy in the answer of Jesus Christ. I was born again over 30 years ago and have been taught by the greatest: Jesus and also His greatest Bible writer Paul the apostle. The constitution and Bill of rights were founded on Biblical principles. Those principles are being trashed and we are all suffering the consequences.

who can take this guy with a hundreds of plastic surgeries seriously. he is part of the problem

Police should have dragged him out if he didn't want to go. Even if it meant taking his buddies Denzil and Tyler perry with them. Jada thought it was funny. She must really dislike her husband. I see a divorce in the future cause wills gonna wake up and figure out he screwed up

JG, you're correct. There's no huge discussion required.

Article(s): "KID ROCK BRAWLED WITH TOMMY LEE OVER PAM ANDERSON AT 2007 VMA AWARDS. KID ROCK OFFERS NO APOLOGY." Kid Rock was NOT dragged off to prison and no selective groups condemned it...Yes, SELECTIVE outrage.

You're right, and I agree with the vast majority of that. If DiCaprio, DeNiro, Denzel, Daniel Day Lewis would have done that, they may've also received a pass, if they were up for annual awards and considering their cache in the community. Lots of factors happening - live TV full of human error, the actor doing it being the same as that shoe'd-in for Best Actor, other first-time honors to come soon after the altercation, etc. Another one may be his peers weren't angry, but actually supremely confused and worried for his mental state - not wanting him to tank the rest of his professional career from something to obscure, spiraling further. All that said, plus taking into account his personal life situations/insecurities with his marriage and recent memoir, nobody...ever...has the right to feel immune from repercussions when putting violent hands on another (absent self defense). Chris Rock is the one Denzel and others should have talked with, no doubt, but Rock's class in accepting the confusion and still being a pro - nobody was worrying about and consoling him with advice. It'll be interesting to see how Will navigates in the coming days: Remorse and introspection about subverting his own values to his wife's, and just "be a good husband?" Or denial of the magnitude, speak nonsensically about "Fierce defender of love, God's new task for me," with smiles and laughter? P.S. last note, no Assault there :) Battery only. Not trying to be the annoying person to correct semantics, but it's mind-blowing how few people know what Assault actually is compared to other crimes. Assault is the action one takes that places the Battery recipient in imminent fear of bodily danger. Battery is the physical touching component, and can be either "offensive" or "harmful". The confusion comes from the two separate crimes occurring together so frequently. In the scene, Rock was so unsuspecting of imminent physical harm coming from Big Willy Style, an Assault charge would get thrown out immediately, if even brought. I digress though,. Longest comment I've every typed haha, just thought new knowledge is typically good knowledge!

Your weakness precedes you. Control your personal intake, & quit excusing your choices, as this culture does.

Not me. Time to watch anything BUT American TV.

Haven't watched a movie in years, because am not interested. Hollywood's attitudes have caused me to not want to be any part of it.

Not me! I only watch old black & white movies.

I haven't been to a movie theater in years. I don't even watch a movie at home. I've never been a movie buff, never understood that hobby, now I see why. Hollywood is and has been broken for a long time.

A spiral of a decay that is arpund the same level as the shark that blew up

Masculinity rules society now. Carry a gun and shoot to kill no matter the moment.

I worked in a national park for 25 years,I caught people in their 50s doing graffiti!!

Chris Rock has a Non-Verbal Learning Disorder so it’s difficult for him to read body language that’s why he uses laughs to know how he’s doing. He couldn’t quickly read there was a threat, and why would he think that was going to happen at the Oscar over a GI Jane joke. Chris goes to therapy for it and to deal with childhood trauma for 7 hours a week. You could tell Chris was not trying to be cruel. He didn’t compare her to Cojack, The Mask, or Uncle Fester. He even said he had no idea she had Alopecia. This may be a news flash but most straight men don’t watch her red counter convos. They may hear some snippets of the smith crazy from their woman IF she finds it interesting. I didn’t know she has Alopecia. So is that also why Willow, Tiffany Haddish, and Amber Rose have buzz cuts too???

Sounds like you are teaching him to be weak and p***y-whipped.

We pulled ours out 10 years ago. I went to parent teacher conferences and realized that this generation of teachers were far less educated than us. Too boot, they are liars. That is when I asked my wife” do we want these kind of people mentoring our children?” We agreed it was time to take an active role in there education. Kudos to you grandma!

Best comment.

When I saw drastic changes in my child's behavior, and discovered what the school was teaching, I pulled him out immediately. Did homeschooling from sixth grade, through high school. Best thing I ever did, it paid off in spades. In college, on Dean's and high honor's list all the way through. And the best manners and behavior on top of that. It starts at home. Home schooling may be inconvenient, but our children's well being and future depends on doing what's not easy.

That’s great about your grandkids.. most kids seem detached and anti social and withdrawn!

What propaganda?

@@petergambaccini7396 Oh you are silly. Made me laugh. Oh hang on you were joking weren't you!

@@petergambaccini7396 ---------> Fool

Thank you. I’m glad you haven’t been sucked into the black vs. white racist manipulation “war”. It should never be about colour of skin when addressing lack of morals and character. That ugliness comes from a much deeper place than skin colour and all people of all kinds of skin colours can and do sink that low….unless they are taught to have manners and self restraint.

Doesn't matter what colour you are. Makes you know better than them to use colour..I understand what you might be thinking but colour shouldn't come into it

If Will Smith was genuinely sorry for what he did, the man wouldn't have accepted the Oscar. Either that or he would have given it back by now.

@@smokelesschoice165 narcissistic people are never sorry

Funny how they preached about Toxic Masculinity, but still gave Will Smith the attacker a standing ovation.

​@@ericcartman7361Because he was doing it for a woman. If he would have done the same for a man it would be a different story. I guess in todays society our strong independent women are considered holy and have to be protected from any type of criticism, opinions, jokes and words 😌

What does "woke" have to to do with it? It was bad behavior period. I can give you a list of "unwoke bad behavior" that would fill a large binder.

Wokeness...your regurgitating of talking points is what is destryoing America. The bill of rights was created in 1776. for 150 years we literally had slavery, lynching , Japanese internment camps, Trail of tears amongst other horrific behaviors. People are not worse today. Everything is just a lot more magnified and less accepted because our morals are different.

@@frankzapata24 I think you are missing his point.

Would you guys stop taking words you don't understand from the black communities and using it as a weapons for your own agendas? You sound ridiculous. He was not saying anything about being woke. He was talking about basic morals and manners moron.

There are no boundaries and no filters. Sometimes I wonder if people even hear the words that come out of their mouths!

Richard Dreyfuss. As long as you continue to support the Democrat party, nothing will change.

Not really.

@Alicia: The only consolation I have of my parents’ deaths years ago is that they don’l live in this current world and I don’t have to worry about either one of them getting sucker punched and/or worse.

@@lilybond6485 Exactly.

Same here Margaret. His behavior was too over the top -- more like went off of a cliff to be forgiven or excused.

They'll probably just hand him a slap on the wrist.

It's more than that. Social politeness and restraint is in freefall. The audience didn't walk out.

Yeah, and Dreyfuss goes on and on about the problems we have in society as if this is the real issue. Talk about standing on a soap box!

Chris Rock will probably sue.

Rules for thee but not for me.

So true oh so true thank you for your statement miss the “ old school” that was a dignified time for this country , respect for this country.

how true!

Yes!

Chris Rock would have to press charges.

Thomas, You may be half correct. Chris R would have to press charges if Will Smith disputed the charge. That is were it is now. But, if WS were to turn himself in the LA police or district attorney office it would have to address. It like robbing a bank but no one presses charges, but if the perp steps forward they would have to take him in. Your thoughts?

@@thomasdaley2929 That rule needs to be changed. The world witnessed an assault. The cops should be on it even if Chris doesn't press charges.

Trump mentioned his p-- bc, the left kept making reference to his small hands.

He represents a hollywood era that is long gone , unfortunately there's not enough of these celebrities left anymore. There's no more class left , i'm old enough to remember the Jimmy Stewarts , Henry Fonda , Charlton Heston , Gregory Peck etc. They didn't lecture the public and talk down to them , those stars had class...

@@moniquefleming3738 Wow, I am sure people are unaware of that. He should have been frogmarched out. Put in a straight jacket, and carried out screaming blue murder. Who cares.

Smith assaulted someone on stage. He should have been charged, because nobody has the legal right to sanction the very public assault. The fact his victim didn't press charges is of no consequence. The fact the audience gave him a standing ovation, is neither here nor there. Loving the crime is no defense. He should have been removed because had he committed another crime, the legal repercussions would have been massive.

Too bad Mango won't take responsibility for his own actions.

Agree. This was just more spineless 🐂 shit. I guess we are all to blame for this lol.

@NebTgeWeb That is true. Joe blames everyone for his decisions but himself.

Richard led that it’s a reflection of us, and talks about Trump as though it’s on him. Perhaps Trump’s behavior is also a symptom of our societal problems too.

Just because someone mentions Trump doesn't mean they are blaming him. If you actually listened, Dreyfuss is claiming that when the presidential debates happened and all the most low brow behavior was on display, that society did not reject it. That atmosphere encourages and emboldens more people behave the same way. In other words, he's blaming the state of society, not the orange misanthropic psychopath who seems to be your hero.

Absolutely

I mainly watch older movies now. There's a goldmine of films out there in our history. A lot of the new stuff is trashy with horrible themes and characters.

Me too Fucl them sports as well

100% , Chinawood , I mean Hollywood died at least 10 to 15yrs ago. Nothing but garbage comes from that spewhole.

I agree

True, people are responsible for themselves.

I'm shocked that Dreyfuss would blame it on Trump after listening to Hollywood bash him for 4 years. So we are supposed to believe Trump's behavior rather than Griffin posing with a severed Trump head or Depp threatening to assasinate Trump or DiNero saying he would punch Trump or 3 years of an attempted coup where politicians, govt agencies and MSM lied to America contributed to society ills? Yea sure, blame it on Trump.

@@pete3882 True, but you cannot deny we influence each other

@@skeptigal8899 You're right 👍

She did not blame Trump. She was saying Trump making a penis joke is for the voters to decide if that is okay and Will Smith's action was on him and a reflection on society. FYI I voted for Trump, both times, and not even close to feeling Trump was blamed for anything on this video.

Rational like F. Starting from the 1st. it's not Our behavior. More associated with (and condoned) if it's Black or leftist violence these days. Conservatives get whacked even if they burp. Drefuss is a low level fraud. Did I hear him try to blame it on Trump? Not surprising D's biploar.

So why must we all be included in this unacceptable behavior!

My 32 years old son told me if that was him slapping a fellow actor he will leave the room before receiving any award, because he will be so embarrassed for what he just did ... but a millionaire don’t think about consequences, arrogant at his best !!, shame,shame ....😢

Will Smith is a narcissist. He doesn’t care how he looks. He would not turn down an award he feels he deserves. It is a mentality of Hollywood and there are other reasons for his mentality which are accepted by a small delusional part of society.

His analysis was to blame trump. You, very foolishly, seem to think that’s just brilliant. Go outside and play.

Your right!!!!

So true. But Dreyfus’ point is that the fact that Smith felt he could act this way and in fact got away with it, speaks volumes about our society as a whole.

who can take this guy with a hundreds of plastic surgeries seriously. he is part of the problem

@@Catfluff521 Smith might have gotten away with it on the night, but he lost in so many other ways....speaking as one who grew up watching him as the Fresh Prince. Dreyfuss wanted to give him some deep meaning to his behavior, really justifying his actions

@@susanpeters1092 Very true. People have choices, and the choice not to watch him. People like him drag down the entire film, the entire cast. And in this case, the Award's night. There was a time when movie stars behaved themselves, and didn't go public with their dirty laundry, political view points, because it would effect the careers of hundreds of people. When these left wing losers go public, they immediately alienate half their audience. Will Smith has now alienated a lot of people, which in turn effects so many others. Through no fault of their own. By slapping at the Oscars, he now has shone the spotlight onto his wife....(who no doubt was idiotically happy on the night) and her sleeping with their son's friend, and then going public to talk about it in front of Will....How gross......

Wow. Thx for the reply. Maybe just put out a testimonial video on YT, upload to social media, and see if it goes viral?

His films are all bad now anyway. He had charisma when he was younger but wasn't able to hold onto it.

@Primus54 Unfortunately, most of the audience was trying to determine if the slap was a staged incident or not. Then once Will Smith began shouting at Chris Rock and there was no follow up comedy, each person in the audience was trying to discern for themselves what really happening. Our society has endorsed bad behavior for so long, for various reasons, that these behaviors don’t stand out in our society like they used to. Over time we have been conditioned to be accepting and rationalize bad behaviors which has only caused an escalation of the bad behavior. When the Oscars admin staff had to deal with the incident, they had to decide who they were going to OFFEND by taking a stand on the incident. The event security team asked Mr. Smith to leave the event but he said no. Mr. Smith remained to receive an award. How can anyone associated with the Oscars explain this hypocrisy?

@@BizzyGigi I’m just so sick and tired of the two-tiered justice system we have that has become so obvious and prevalent.

It's a bit more complex. I suspect his marriage is in shambles and if he did nothing the next therapy session would be with Jada's divorce lawyer. Will laughed at the joke until the wife lost her shit which required him to act.

Actually Ivy Legues are very similar to giving out awards depending on how woke one is

Yes, they rub each others ego, what is even more absurd is that some actors or comedians get invited to the white house and given by the President of America a medal of honor or recognition for something they invented, Obama did it and I was shocked utterly shocked I do not see any Scientists, Doctors or nurses being awarded for their valuable contribution during the Pandemic ... disgusting really

Agree. I wonder why?

No. MG is White and black privilege prevails.

I said this too

Imagine? I just wish that we'd seen someone do this to Harvey Weinstein at the Oscars. Then, maybe, they'd have something to be proud of.

If you saw the Golden globe award shows when Ricky Gervais hosted, he roasted Mel Gibson mercilessly. Mel Gibson managed to contain himself and so did all the other celebrities that were named and made fun of. If they can’t take the heat, then they need to stop putting themselves out there and the award shows need to stop using comedians to host the shows. It’s entertainment and roasting has become a part of it.

I don't think the social order is disappearing...I think most organizations and individuals don't reinforce consequences because of myopic politicisation by all parties. The responsibility of saying, "No. That behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated," is up to all of us.

I tend to disagree....human history is pockmarked with wars and vile brutality. Today, we are being more dismissive when it comes to the media and politics and what captures the most eyeballs.

I was so surprised when adults would approach me in public to say, your children are so polite, so we'll behaved, have beautiful manners, etc. I told them, they are taught that. Don't you rear your children to grow up well mannered? And the answer was no, I don't have the time for all that.

Exactly. The damage is done it can't be fixed. The crack in the facade is revealed.

Huh?

The best actors were not even include in the shortlist becasue of "diversity"

Yes.

Wokeness is destroying our society period. It is a poison created by the progressive radical left. It’s despicable!

Hollywood is finally addressing toxicity and dealing with predators, but they still have selective punishment. They're at a place where they're trying to figure out how and when to be harsh on someone. As of now, it's led to complete cancellation and not accountability, but there doesn't seem to be proportionality. People like Weinstein, Moonves, Polanski, which have been protected by Hollywood, needed to be prosecuted and dealt with; but now, Hollywood can't seem to figure out a scale of jurisdiction that is applicable.

Agree. He's Hollywood responding. I would expect this bubble point of view. The entertainment industry is promoting this culture ... thats how we got to this " clownish point"

Thank you!

Everyone who know how to keep their cool has been cancelled by the alt left by condemning them for putting restraints on others as well as themselves. The left’s idea of freedom is complete chaos!

They gave it to him as a sop after he whined and carried on so much last year about imagined racism. Likely he was a bit Drunk at the awards and didn't know he'd win so was in a bad mood. He's been going rancid for years.

Maybe He doesn't know.

Believe they have undercover LAPD officers there. They would have flashed their badges and told him to leave or else you're under arrest. Will Smith would have quietly left.

Having anyone from Hollywood lecture the rest of us, about anything, is laughable-especially as it pertains to the moral decay of society.

I don't think it's blaming Trump. Trump was just one of the first to go outside of the boundaries of what was considered normal public behavior, so now as more and more people do it the comparison becomes natural. I'm not saying if it's good or bad but just that his style hadn't been seen before.

@@motherhvac5674 I agree. I think you're looking at it like Hollywood and Clinton vs Trump. But I see it like Hollywood, Clinton, and Trump against the rest of us. They are two sides of the same coin.

WE make up this society.....so if WE continue to accept and allow these behaviors to go on.....then we will never have a chance at individual responsibility. It is rotting away right in front of our eyes as we allow this crazy to keep happening.

Just some members of certain society.

EVERYONE in the ceremony were responsible. Disgusting people....

this country never had morals, its just social media is now exposing society to how this country really is

@@davincheyenne1456 Oh, I think there is plenty of news articles out there exposing the evil in our society. The problem is there is too much cherry picking.

Forever nahhh a few years yes

Honestly, whatever their punishment would be of a non celebrity should be EXACTLY what happens to Will Smith. Imo....it's the only way they can save the Oscars. If they would ban a non celebrity for life then by all means that's what it will be. But, they won't ...they're so afraid of the woke cult and so afraid of BLM and to be called racists that because the fact that will Smith is a black man he will get to keep his Oscar. I hope I'm wrong but we've become so spineless , I don't have any hope.

That won’t happen

NO. Actually, Biden, Harris, fake media, & far insane Left need to apologize.

That is true, but he is still right....there are no societal boundaries anymore....

@@dianaash8077 Perhaps, but that makes Wil Smith no less of a punk. Dreyfess would be much more harsh if Smith was any other ethnicity.

Chris Rock has a Non-Verbal Learning Disorder so it’s difficult for him to read body language that’s why he uses laughs to know how he’s doing. He couldn’t quickly read there was a threat, and why would he think that was going to happen at the Oscar over a GI Jane joke. Chris goes to therapy for it and to deal with childhood trauma for 7 hours a week. You could tell Chris was not trying to be cruel. He didn’t compare her to Cojack, The Mask, or Uncle Fester. He even said he had no idea she had Alopecia. This may be a news flash but most straight men don’t watch her red counter convos. They may hear some snippets of the smith crazy from their woman IF she finds it interesting. I didn’t know she has Alopecia. So is that also why Willow, Tiffany Haddish, and Amber Rose have buzz cuts too???

Agree 100%🤗

Will Smith is not a thug for slapping someone. Stop the dog whistle racism. He’s an absolute imbecile and was complete unprofessional but he’s not and never will be a “thug”. He’s a man with a professional career spanning almost 4 decades and has been working at his craft since the age of 12 in what realm is that a thug. Do you know what a thug is or is it just any black man who commits a crime?

I agree with the first half of your comment.

She wears her hair like that alot.Most black women all wear extentions wigs hairpeices and alot of things in their hair.I thought alpocia was where you had areas os no hair at all on your scalp.She s strange.

Exactly. Comedians are paid to be funny and make us laugh. There are times to do that they have to say something shocking. People laugh and this behavior is encouraged but all of a sudden, they cross some unseen line and get in trouble. Why??

Funny thing is, more jokes than ever are being made about that bald head. Seems to me, that she's never had much hair!

They will never stop bashing Trump because that's all they have. They certainly won't hold themselves accountable, so they repeatedly use him as a scapegoat even though he would have nothing to do with the circumstances. “The left is never wrong” is constantly being shoved down our throats by the MSM.

So typical of little Megyn.

Well, Richard's kind of Woke. Way too much for some of us.

who can take this guy with a hundreds of plastic surgeries seriously. he is part of the problem

My mom and sister buy into this. I like being entertained. I could care less about their status.

I'm not fascinated with Hollywood and agree that the money made is just insane. I had heard a comment the next day stating that if the slap had not happened the person wouldn't have even known the Academy Awards night had taken place. I enjoy great acting and films but all the awards events could be done without..a stupid scene took place, that's for sure.

I totally agree with you. I have a firm thinking of why actors, sports players, and absurd people like the Kardashians should be making a lot of money when those that really construct our societies make so little.

In addition to this comment, movie stars are overpaid, and they're spoiled rotten. That's why they do the things they do because, they think they are above the law, and their money will buy them out of everything.

I do agree with you but in the scheme of things it’s only a few making insane amounts of money plus we are talking about a private industry. As a nurse in Australia I know as a public servant essential services will never carry huge wages. We just don’t make money. So I understand that. My issue is the pedestal these ordinary people are placed on and there are few repercussions for their negative behaviour. If a fan from the audience or a security guard or anyone other than the actors had slapped Chris they would have been arrested and escorted out of the building. Double standards yet again
