Academy Awards - Will Smith Edition
-
One of my engineers (a woman) was out shopping with her boyfriend a few years ago and two guys made comments about her. The boyfriend confronted them and they stabbed him. He died right there in the shopping mall. They went down for murder.
This stuff can get bad really quick.

That's why you never confront - you knock them into next week. If he wants to talk we can do that later, in his hospital room.

Comedian hosts get to make jokes about Oscars attendees. Oscars attendees don’t get to assault them for it. This precedent set on a global stage by one of the most famous people in the world sucks, and the respectful reaction is stupid. Smith needs to be called a little bitch. Not respected.

Jussie Smollett says Will Smith hit him too.

It’s very clear to most reasonable people that it wasn’t staged. You could see the emotion running through both of them after it happened. Both in Smith’s screaming about keeping his wife’s name out if Rock’s mouth, and in Rock as he stumbled over the rest of his lines. And in Smith’s later tearful acceptance speech.

Imagine the flopping if this happened at a soccer awards show.

If they'd staged it, it would have looked more like the movies and less like a couple of knobheads in the pub.

It wasn’t staged, for reasons Horace mentioned above. Rock probably thought a fake slap/punch was coming in good spirits, not the real deal.
Also Smith laughed at first prob because it was the normal thing to do on national television, and he also probably didn’t get the alopecia connection at first until he saw Jada’s face.

It was rehearsed for months.
The violence was fine, that is what men do, no big deal.
But there is no excuse for the vulgar language on television.

@89th said in Academy Awards:
If a comedian makes a joke about my wife's illness, I'd be seeing red.
Wouldn't we all?
All of us except for Ted Cruz.
(Rock declined to press charges, by the way)
It’s not his decision.

What a great opportunity this event presents to announce one's political tribe.

@Copper said in Academy Awards:
cnn blames trump
The left has bent over backwards to give black culture room for its macho male culture to grow unabated, resulting in Chicago and Baltimore murder numbers. It would be easy to blame that culture for this, but that would be ridiculous, since Will Smith is more of a pampered privileged princess than nearly anybody else in the world.

Which is why you carry a gun. Avoid trouble, but always be prepared to make sure the judge only hears one story.

You heard about Chris Rock getting examined, after the Oscars?
They found fresh prints.
