Exactly. I'm wondering if he escalated or de-escalated on the way up. Was his original intention just to go up an interrupt and then he boiled over and decided to slap, or was he going up there with the intent to punch him but "cooled down" to a slap only. Not that it really matters.

I found King Richard to be quite good and interesting, but that is just me. Maybe equally impressive to Will's performance was both the performance and tennis prowess of those little girl actresses. Those girls can ball.
So not knowing much about Will and Jada's lifestyle choices, did Chris and Jada get together at some point, and maybe that was an underlying bigger issue with Will?

What’s really a shame is that this event overshadows what turned out to be a pretty decent, diverse Oscars. We saw an openly queer actor of Puerto Rican-Black-Italian descent win an Oscar; a supporting actor award to a deaf actor, with screenwriting and best picture Oscars to the film he appeared in; and some really eloquent words by Jessica Chastain speaking out against the wave of repressive, anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ legislation sweeping across the nation. Even all the visual effects/cinematography love going to a film like Dune …
And instead of talking about that the next morning it’s all about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. Thanks a lot, Will, for stealing everybody else’s thunder.

Right, wrong or indifferent, I was about to shut off the Oscars until the Will slap happened, but then couldn't help myself from watching the rest of the whole dang thing
My wife grew up as a jehovahs witness, and left before I met her.
She has been ostracized from her family for nearly 30 years now so it was a very touchy movie in my house I didn’t hate it. I admire those girls for overcoming everything to become legendary strong black women. They are truly role models.
The movie was kind of a sanitized version of a guy that made people’s lives far more miserable than was portrayed in that movie. There is a reason his wife divorced him.
Also, knock it off with blaming the devil because you did something wrong.
This whole situation reminded me of the brilliance of Ricky Gervais 2020 Golden Globes.
I cant imagine what that level of a "sport dad" looks like. I often wonder how Tiger Woods childhood was. He is another example of a child prodigy pushed to greatness in a non-traditional sport.
My uncle is a screenwriter and had a similar experience on a project he was adding dialogue to. He had a similar experience where he was not respectful of peoples time and rude.
Just tell me Tom Hanks is a good guy.
The only positive I can think of for Will is that's some pretty ingenious stuff to in the course of like 20 minutes come up with the "well the guy I played in this movie was also a crazy *** who defended his family" angle. Pretty nice spin on short notice.
I have word that Brian Cranston is a good dude.
I think the list ends there.
People that constantly do things for high levels attention tend to be a mess. Look no further than awards shows.
There was a pretty great Tracy Morgan/Tim Meadows SNL bit about 25 years ago that was possibly not that far off.

Just last week Hanks happened across a wedding party taking pictures in Pittsburgh, and when they recognized him he *insisted* on having them include him in some of their photos. The nerve of that jerk! How rude!
