I do think it was probably real, and clearly the slap was real, but it wouldn't totally shock me if it comes out it was staged. Just seems like a really, really weird reaction that he couldn't wait til after the show

But even in that he made an Epstein joke. But I'm not a fan of Gervais' type of comedy or roasts, so I'm probably not a good judge of whether his material was good
I remember Gervais made a joke about Apple TV, was talking about how well they were doing, then made a crack about child labor. Then made an Epstein joke, and when the crowd gave the groan, he said something along the lines of “what, he’s your friend, not mine.”
 
I usually am very into the Oscars, but this year not as much. Still some solid movies though...here are my predictions for the big categories tonight:

Best Picture: CODA (possibly Power of the Dog)
Best Director: Jane Campion (Power of the Dog) (spoiler would be Spielberg)
Best Actress: I'm going upset here and saying Penelope Cruz (Parallel Mothers) but could be Chastain or really any of the others. Closest race.
Best Actor: Will Smith (King Richard) even though I don't think he even deserved to be nominated
Best Supporting Actress: Arianna DeBose (West Side Story) Anyone else wins and it's a massive upset
Best Supporting Actor: Tony Kotsur (CODA) Spoiler would be Kodi Smit McFee (Power of the Dog)

Not your best effort :p
 
Will was enraged…. he looked scary. Dude has some issues.

Chris Rock never should have went there, it wasn’t even funny, but violence should never be condoned in that situation.

Yeah - sometimes comedians go for that edge but its just too far and while maybe some find that funny, I don't. However, it could easily have been handled in a different manner by Will Smith. what does that teach people about solving issues or handling anger?

Yeah, I looked up the text to the speech and it was something like "don't groan, he's your friend." But like I said, I don't like Gervais, and I don't like his style, so I'm already going to be looking at it in the worst possible light.
