I don’t really watch movies and I hate awards shows but catching up on this Will Smith/Chris Rock spat is pretty funny. Will Smith so was offended by a joke about his wife that he walked up on stage and slapped another man in the face? So, not punch in the face angry, but slap in the face angry? That’s embarrassing.

Ultimate power move from Will. He’s an imposing guy and Rock is fairly helpless (and also a lot more professional) - no way he retaliates. A slap is way more embarrassing for Rock than a punch; it establishes Smith’s dominance in the least physical way possible. He also could do a lot more damage with a punch. Lost a lot of respect for Smith; great actor but the man has issues. Most of them have to do with his marriage.

Chris rock took it and kept going like “that is all you have” and it was not that bad of a joke and by the way Chris rock and others are up their to make fun of people in the audience. Will was even laughing then his wife gave him the look. Perhaps will was thinking that Chris was jada.

The only downside to this is that it wasn't me slapping Chris Rock.

Disagree. A man slapping another man is about as weak as it gets. It’s either done because you are arrogant enough to think it will look cool on stage or because you’re not actually tough enough to throw a punch. In Smith’s case, it’s probably both.
Rock should now pull the “ultimate power move” and sue the hell out of Smith.

Certainly a take. :whistle:

Will Smith shocked. Especially when in the clip below around the 3 minute 30 second remark has this to say:

Before I get to today's Poll, some overall thoughts:

  • Much better show than last year, but still pretty janky/uneven. Movies on the whole were better and more varied (people talk about representation but really, how many deaf-centric movies/actors have you ever seen in your life outside of Marlee Matlin??), but some of the choices were weird (athletes presenting, hosts were iffy, bits weren't too good, etc.).
  • Loved* the musical performances but bummed Encanto didn't win. The Academy loves Bond songs though and happy for Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas.
  • * - WTF did they do to 'We Don't Talk About Bruno'??? You have a beautiful cast, all of whom are present, and the biggest song of the year and once the it gets going you let Nicki Minaj rap for the rest of it??? What a total letdown. I really, really wanted to see Diane Guerrero sing! :(
  • Totally forgot Sally Kellerman and Ned Beatty died this past year. Man, getting old sucks.
  • Wesley Snipes is out of jail! And still looks bonkers. Harrelson the pothead looks fit as a fiddle though.
  • Loved that 'Drive My Car' won international film - Hamaguchi's speech was funny since he ended almost every sentence with a thank you and the producers thought he was finished.
  • Poor Anthony Hopkins - comes out not long after the Smith/Rock crap and looks like, 'I came all the way here for this sh*t?' Still the coolest guy in the room.
  • Pulp Fiction re-union - Getting old sucks part two.
  • I liked that outside of Dune winning every technical category almost everything else was fairly unpredictable.
  • Chastain campaigned hard for her Oscar and is well deserving and I thought all the 'acting' winners were justified.
  • Josh Brolin to Jason Momoa - 'Ever been nominated for an Oscar?' - Momoa - 'Pffffffttt.....NO.' LOL.
  • Will Smith is a chump. Chris Rock is a pro. Still can't believe no one escorted Smith out of the place. What a sad, pathetic cuck of a man.

My only familiarity with Smith’s marriage situation is what I’ve seen alluded to here. I don’t really follow that stuff at all. What’s the deal with it? Does he allow her to have extramarital affairs?

I'm not overly familiar either, but it's well known she's been with other guys during their marriage (I assume he can roam as well, but I don't know/think that he has). They joked about it in the monologue of the show (Smith above hitting a woman I guess...?). Pretty obvious Smith is uncomfortable with it and thus his overreaction to Rock's joke. She's admitted to having an 'entaglement' with August Alsina (sometime in the 20-teens)...

Thanks midnighter. No idea who this other guy is.

+1.
I'll add one other. Al Pacino looked bad. Getting old sucks part 3.

It was brief and the only one who spoke was Coppola. They all old now. The real horror was Liza Minellu in the wheelchair with Lady Gaga. Poor woman they didn’t need to drag her out there in her condition. It was pretty cringe worthy.
CBS Sunday Morning did a 20 minute segment yesterday. It was outstanding. FFC was interviewed along with Duvall, James Caan and Talia Shire who happens to be FFC's sister. The part with James Caan describing the scene when he got blown away was amazing.

It was a sucker punch, or I guess slap. He looked like a total punk. He is a wannabe tough guy, like most of the people in that auditorium.
