The most disgusting thing, that soiled the Oscars more than what Smith did, was the standing ovation. These elite actors and directors love to make political commentary on morality in society, yet when they witness an assault by one of their peers, they stand and applaud as if he just killed Thanos. Despicable.

Full of narcissism, self-aggrandisement and self-pity God has given him a calling to protect people and he's a vessel of love, but it's not his fault he slapped someone.

For those that defend Will Smith's actions and blame it on or condemn Chris Rock's joke as "over the line" or justification for Will's actions, isn't the solution No More comedians as host or presenters and No More jokes. Clearly those folks that approve of or are okay with Smith's actions and blame Rock for the joke, think that comedians must hand out a questionnaire before every performance so that the audience can inform the comedian of all of their medical conditions or psychological issues and any subject they determine to be offensive or out of bounds, so that the comedian can know which jokes to tell. Plus comedians must be required to sign a legal waiver that states that they will not hold any audience member accountable or legally liable for any violent physical or verbal assualt they commit if the comedian makes a joke that was deemed not okay by the pre-show questionnaire.

@ingloriousmax 2 года назад

Will should've been thrown out, end of story.

@nightfall902 2 года назад

In my opinion this is rather simple. Chris Rock is a comedian. He was on stage doing his job. Doing what he is well paid to do. Comedians are known to be conterversial, offensive and uncensored, it's the nature of the job and to be expected. The fact that a man doing his job is assaulted on an international stage is unforgivable. To his credit, Chris Rock took the slap and moved on. He chose not to escalate, but to carry on with the job he was paid to do. As for Will Smith, violence is always a last resort. If there had been no other choice, I might even side with Mr. Smith; however, there were other options available. Something as simple as yelling to Rock that he was over the line, (Smith had no problem yelling and being heard.) It would have made Chris Rock look a bit foolish and inconsiderate and still made Smith out to appear to be supporting his wife. Smith had time to consider his actions. he stood up, got up on the stage, walked the distance to Mr. Rock and assaulted him on stage, in front of an international audience. In my opinion, Smith should receive a second oscar for the nights performance. He went from laughing and smiling to anger and rage to weeping and crying and and back to happy and dancing at the after party. Mr. Smith obviously has issues with willpower and self control. He is a poor role model and a lesser person for being unable to control his own emotions. Not to mention throwing a right while dropping his left. If Chris had relatiated, his big head was a perfect target. What happened to all that training for Ali?

@sicga4925 2 года назад

He was seen to break the law publicly, he should be arrested and charged. Whether he gets prison time or a fine is upto a jury, a judge and mitigation factors when sentencing is done. Chris Rock does not need to press charges, a crime was seen to happen. Is the common law worth nothing over there? Discussions about what the Academy and SAG do is just distraction tactics. This guy was seen to break the law, on top of that he continued to give abuse after seating himself, the guy he assualted had to continue his job being forced to loook right at the bloke who assaulted him, don't you lot understand just how disgusting that is?

@overtherenowaitthere 2 года назад

An open handed slap is a ticket, fine, or a night in jail at most. And that’s IF the victim even wants to press charges.

@michelleh9488 2 года назад

a couple of points, John - the Oscars never started out as a public extravaganza, it was a private dinner only for the nominees in the early years then along came TV and it was something to use to actually promote the films - maybe it should go back to that for a few years; also NO ONE seems to acknowledge that every award for the rest of the show was then tainted, including the one that Rock was presenting to Best Documentary [QuestLove's excellent Summer of Soul]; and the producer of this year's show [as every year] was HIRED by the Academy to put on a good show, not there to decide who's to be removed from the premises for ASSAULT...

Will Smith truly thought initially that he was justified in his actions. It is a very sad and disappointing situation all the way around. The more I think about it, the more I believe expulsion or an extensive suspension from the Academy may be the only choice; with the option for him to return much later after a thorough review. Either that, or Will goes on international TV and lets Chris Rock slap him three times in the face as hard as he can unopposed; with the option to have the Rock substitute in for him to do the slaps.

He should be expelled, permanently. He can keep his oscar, but from now on, he should never be allowed to attend another Oscars ever again. Not as a nominee, not as a guest, not even as an invite from a friend or family.

One thing that leads some credibility to the Academy’s statement is the flat and plain apology with no corporate speak to wiggle around liability.. if they were worried about Rock suing they would have apologized out of one side of their mouth.. a direct apology admits fault

If I did something that caused others discomfort then I would leave whether anyone told me to leave or stay. I like Will but his pride and ego convinced him he was in the right. You can tell by his speech he was justifying his actions.

Who knew that all them times I got drunk and was asked to leave... all I had to do is refuse... and they would have given me an award.

@darkangel15221 2 года назад

The Academy is just trying to cover their butts. I don't believe there was a heated exchange about him leaving. First of all, they wouldn't have wanted to make the situation worse in any capacity by having him leave - whether forcibly or on his own. It would've caused further disruptions and embarrassment. The Academy knew he was going to win and I'm sure that his publicist told them that he would merely apologize for his actions during his acceptance speech, and all would be well. But what they did do, was get Rock out the venue.

@drawnhere 2 года назад

They could have had security take him out by simply going to commercial. They were just worried that someone was going to record that either inside or outside the venue.

@Nova-wi2bv 2 года назад

Will could’ve been the bigger man, realized he handled the situation poorly and just left. He slapped a man who was not physically assaulting him or anyone else, and he disrespected the nominees and the academy as a whole. Plus I keep hearing that this made the academy awards less boring. I would rather the ceremony be “boring” than see someone assaulted, there is no joy in seeing that

Why are people still talking about this? I’ve seen people say they were “traumatized” by this. Come on lol. It happened. Let it go. I can’t even believe they said “compromising the integrity of the Academy”. Do people just not care about all of the terrible people who the Academy has celebrated? Does that not matter because the actions weren’t done during the show? The integrity has been gone.

@pimpinb11 2 года назад

@@lexis4490 exactly. I watch the Oscars, but I know for a fact that the ratings drop consistently. A lot of the people who are crying out probably had no idea the Oscars were even on before this happened lol. Like how are other people more upset than Chris himself? Or even more upset than some of the audience members who were there to witness? Just insanity. People always want to be involved.
