I don't. Nothing about this is acceptable or understandable. I hope he has to pay dearly for this.I completely understand it though...
You have to admit, it was a picture perfect bitch slap. Will Smith could join the Slap Fight ContestI don't. Nothing about this is acceptable or understandable. I hope he has to pay dearly for this.
It really would have made the moment if the whole audience started chanting "Jerry, Jerry, Jerry".Jerry Springer Style!

There is no indication since photos together in 2015 that the three of them are not friends still actually... I wonder, not likely, but is there a remote possibility this was staged privately? Chris almost seemed to be waiting for it... and it was an actors slap for sure, very body physical. They're all actors, great at pretending and crying on cue... especially one that wins the best actor award.
Whatever is the case, the whole event means massive exposure for the Oscars and Will Smith's movie in a financially declining industry.

Chris Rock seemed to wait for it with his hands behind his back and than rolling to the side along with the slap. He should have ducked under and countered with an overhand right.It really would have made the moment if the whole audience started chanting "Jerry, Jerry, Jerry".

HiIf the Academy is true to its statement that they do not condone violence of any kind, I wonder if they will rescind Will's award. Or never invite him back.
Never mind, it's Hollywood, none of the above will ever happen. Carry on.
Hi
I would have supported a ban. Not a rescinding.
We don't yet know what the backlash will be. Not sure it will be seen nicely: It was a global event.
Seems rather apt...Yo back up now and give a brother room
The fuse is lit and I'm about to go boom...
... Boom! shake-shake-shake the room
Tic-tic-tic-tic Boom!
Like the Dr. Jekyl man and this is my Hyde side
Oh! An assault, in front of a live millions of people audience, will be seen as nothing. I doubt it. There will be repercussions; his PR minions must be working overtime.He'll be alright, he just assaulted someone, he didn't do anything really bad like say the wrong thing.
Broadcast is one thing, actual viewership is another. Rating are absolutely in the gutter, and this year it’s probably not any different. So luckily just about nobody saw the incident, and the ones that saw something got the censored version.but I think words would have been better than striking Rock on stage during a worldwide broadcast.
