The Academy is launching a full review of the incident. The governing body of the Academy held an emergency phone meeting to discuss whether to suspend Will Smith from the Academy or to take back his trophy.

Maybe Oscar can star in GI Jane 2.

I don't agree with taking back the trophy. He deservedly won it according to the Academy (whether you agree that he was best actor or not, it's subjective).

They will probably just suspend his membership. They have to do something.

I'll tell you this, the Oscars have gotten more publicity then they have in years.

Ding, ding ding! We have a winner!

I still think the whole thing was staged.

I can't wait for this all to be made into a movie.

 

[oldmangrouch]

The look his wife had, was what triggered him. Big Mistake.
When the look happens, men will react in various way!

I must have missed something, because the clip I saw he laughed and she just rolled her eyes. A split second later he was already on stage.

After the "hit", Rock looked more like he was supressing a giggle than reacting to a shot to the face.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Making fun of a medical condition and/or a disability should never be a joke. Sorry.

The response to speech you disagree with is more speech.

Now, if he went Trump and grabbed her by something personal....

I know, he damn near made it look rehearsed.

Watch the facial expressions. Does Rock look even a little hurt, frightened, or even surprised? And as Smith turns away, why does it look like he is trying hard not to laugh?

Is Vegas taking bets on whether this was staged? I know which way I'm betting.

 

[Chris Craig]

Will Will Smith played himself and get another Oscar?

 

[Hoopguru]

It will come out tomorrow that it was staged.

Nah, Rock was shook. He couldn’t even read the teleprompter after. That shit happened and he was in shock.

 

[THE HCP]

It will come out tomorrow that it was staged.

Maybe to try and downplay it….. that shit was real.

 

[Natebishop3]

I really don't understand why you guys think this was staged. Why the hell would Will Smith do that on the night that he got his first Oscar? The guy has been trying to get an Oscar for DECADES. Now they're talking about taking it away from him. You guys are crazy.

 

[Hoopguru]

Even if it was real I could see both together doing a down play /make up PR piece.

I don't think it was staged. That was a real slap, and a real reaction.

Chris Rock handled it incredibly well. Very impressive. No way Will Smith or anybody in his camp would agree to this.

 

[Road Ratt]

Chris Rock kept his professional composure, even made a joke immediately afterwards. "Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me"

In my opinion. Chris Rock probably didn't understand at the time that he may have taken anything too far. As a comedian, roasting people is literally one of his jobs. As a person with NVLD, Chris Rock lacks certain social abilities that other people have "built in" by design. Missing social cues is something a person "on the spectrum" can easily do.

Just my two cents. And not trying to speak for Chris Rock, as I don't know the level of his social impairment.

Here is a video of Chris Rock on his NVLD (Nonverbal Learning Disorder)

Jada Pinkett Smith Declared ‘I Don’t Give Two Craps What People Feel About This Bald Head of Mine’ Before Oscars

"So I had to learn to get the courage to go, nah I’m not doing it, which is why I feel the freedom today, I don’t give two craps what people feel about this bald head of mine. Cuz guess what? I love it.”


The clip is already making the rounds on social media, with one observer commenting, “Sooooo, did Will not know Jada didn’t care what anyone thought of her shaved head?? I am confused.”

Will Smith first appeared to laugh at his wife’s expense before making the decision to storm the stage when his wife clearly felt differently.

My mom got cancer when I was in the 7th grade. The chemo took her hair. Everyday she would put on a wig that she absolutely hated, it was hot, scratchy, a pain in the ass to style, but she put it on and went to work.

Then when she came out of remission 2 years later and the chemo again made her lose her hair she said fuck it and decided no wig this time. Saying something very similar to what Jada did. And the first time she went to work without her wig, a co-worker, just joking around, said she looked Mr Clean. She totally lost it and burst into tears.

When someone is going through something like that they may tell themselves and others that they're not going to be hurt or offended by someone saying something but that doesn't mean when they actually are insulted, even when someone is joking, it doesn't hurt like hell.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m pretty bummed there really isn’t a G. I. Jane II

 

[Mediocre Man]

We also now know that Will Smith doesn’t understand what a punchline is

Did your dad assault the co-worker? I'm not trying to minimize how Jada felt and I can't read her mind. Just posting what she said. It was a classless joke that to me seems rather tame compared to some I've heard on award shows, but it didn't need to be said and it clearly hurt her more than Chris Rock thought it would.

I'm really looking forward to Will publicly apologizing to Chris on tonight's Jesse Watters show.
