Oscar Predictions for Tonight...

It's easy to say violence should never be condoned. However, if someone humiliated your wife on national TV because of a health issue she's suffering from, you might feel differently.

Flip him off or something if you can’t be a real man and take the high road. You don’t need to physically be violent towards anyone.

Now all you manly men out there can tell me what a wussy I am and how you’d have beaten the sh*t out him.
 
Chris Rock went from looking like a real a-hole to looking like a calm collected adult in the situation in a matter of seconds thanks to Will Smith.

Probably did more damage to Chris Rock's career though.

I do wonder what kind of review happens for jokes at these things. You'd think most of it would get run by someone other than Chris, who should've nixed that joke.
 
What Smith did was assault. I get defending your family and loved ones. But a reaction of literally violence on live TV? Oof. He honestly could have just yelled what he yelled at Rock after he hit him and gotten his point across. Or when he won the Oscar used that time to focus on defending your wife and loved ones and make Rock feel small in that moment.

“Love will make you do crazy things.” is what Smith said in his acceptance speech. Cringeworthy. How many women that have been a victim of domestic abuse have heard that before? I am NOT saying Smith does that...but just a really really tone deaf comment. What a mess.

What career? Honest question...he's not doing much lately that's noteworthy. Anyway, there's talk of the academy taking back Smith's Oscar already.

I seriously hated how that went down. Always been ok with Will Smith, never been a huge fan just because I don't generally like the movies he's made, but never had a problem with him. Tonight's action was pretty gross. Then I read that his wife's hair situation is medical and has been the cause of serious anxiety for her. So I get Will's action. Just unfortunate all around because it took away from the rest of the night which featured some amazing performances. Glad CODA won.

I don't get his reaction of violence. I get his reaction of being pissed as fuckk for sure.

He's going to get one of the bigger paychecks he's had in a while over this. As for jokes, I would bet Rock didn't even write that joke. All shows like this have writers.

Yikes I didn't even think of it this way until you said that. Agree, the 'love make you do crazy things' isn't a good look.
 
This thread.

It's doing some work.

I don't watch awards shows either but the reports sound intriguing.
 
If kids choose violence tomorrow, it’s not going to be because Will Smith slapped Chris rock at the oscars
Right? Like some 8 year old was sitting around watching an award show, saw the incident, and THAT was the catalyst that caused them to get in a fight the next day

I think its pretty easy to see that its much, much worse for women on average when they go bald.
I think it is pretty easy to acknowledge the primary double standard is in how assault was treated.

Misery poker has no winners. Btw, alopecia is not just scalp hair loss and most of the psychological pain is associated with the loss of one's self, not society.
 
Neither career will take a hit. They are two monster celebrities and the fans of each of them will just like each one more. I used to love Will Smith but he has got really weird the last five or so years. Rock is basically just a stand up comedian these days.
