Will Smith slap

Now Will Smith is forever that guy who hit someone at an award ceremony.
Would have been way easier to justify if he'd hit a white guy.
Could of gone on about white victimization of blacks or something.
What an idiot!!!Personally, I think he hit him because of the joke.
I don’t think it was staged, and I do think Smith lost control.
I know a boatload of people to whom you couldn't make a joke about their wife, especially pointing out something they are probably pretty embarrassed about. If I were honest, I'm probably one of them.
These guys are just people, and even though it is a big big stage, they can still make stupid decisions (which this was).
I wouldn't have a problem with Rock pressing charges, but then he'd be known as the guy who made fun of a guys wife and then couldn't take the slap he may or may not have deserved.
For the record, I thought it was a shit joke unless he was sure that she would see the funny side.

@gt12 Heaven help Ricky Gervais if he ever mocked Will Smith's wife. Rock's joke seemed tame compared to RG's material at the Golden Globes in years past
Bet no-one says shit about her now.
But, you’re right it was tame, but I don’t think that in that moment, at that time, it was tame to Smith.
That doesn’t make Smith right either, I’m just saying that at the end of the day he’s a husband.

To be honest, I don't really have an issue with Chris Rock saying the joke, or Will Smith's reaction to it. I think Smith did cross a line but you never know what people are going through, so this may have made him snap. It happens to everybody. Nobody is excluded.
It's the Hollywood reaction & the subsequent explosion amongst virtual signalling piston wristed gibbons which is sickening.
In case you aren't aware, Will Smith is the first person ever to stick up for a woman of colour. And thus, he's a hero.

I'm seriously wondering WTF is woke about this years Oscars compared to other years?
A film kind of about disability won. Films about disabilities have won lots of years. This years winner was a bloody good film and the closest to a comedy that we'll ever see win an Oscar. And the protagonist wasn't the one with the disability.
The rest are pretty typical Oscar fair aside from Dune. One had a black lead. One had gay cowboys, as already pointed out this is now a recurring Oscar theme, the older one was much better than this one. One was Japanese. One was a musical remake from the 60s. One was set in Northern Ireland. One was about Carnies but thankfully didn't have any fish fucking. One was marmite movie that I guess will be considered woke. The least woke movie was by far the worst.
This place is always crying woke.
Also, Saving Private Ryan didn't fucking win (they should have burnt down the Oscars there and then) and The Deer Hunter is overrated.
That's because woke = shit entertainment.
I enjoyed a bunch of the Oscar nominated movies this year, thought some were complete rubbish too. Didn't think about whether they were woke or not until today's comments on this thread.
No one's forced to watch any of them. I assume there's lots of movies out there that don't meet whatever your definition of woke is.
Getting triggered by comments about the Oscars being woke is like getting triggered about comments about the sky being blue.

Will Smith slaps like an absolute girl and is absolute arsehole. If you going to hit someone, thump them like Buck Shelford. A pathetic attack on a comedian doing his job. We will miss comedy so much when the Woke cult bans it for good.
Well that’s what fake slaps tend to look like

Na. It looked fake but Wills yelling from the audience removed that theory.

Don't tell me you've never got carried away in the moment and exploded when you shouldn't have...

@majorrage truth! He spent most of his Fresh Prince era mocking people (in character) for being bald, fat etc. Whether it was his auto-cue laugh or genuine, he was clearing laughing as the joke landed. We haven't yet seen the camera angle of their table and what went on with Jada. But she had an unhappy face and then Will is striding up for the slap down.
It was the yelling afterwards where I think people worked out it wasn't staged. Just a tad awks. -

That was cringy as fuck. Smith is laughing at a pretty average Oscars joke while his wife ain't pleased. Nek minnit he's up slapping Rock and still wound up enough to yell out and swear at Rock from his seat.
It’s almost like he paused and asked himself ‘how would a heterosexual man react’? Needed a director to tell him dial it back a bit
Yeah, less flamboyance, more punching. To misquote Austin Powers, who slaps? Really?

The only thing that irked me was talking about loving one another in his acceptance speech. I'm assuming he has LOVE HATE across his knuckles?
