Its amazing that anyone actually gives a shit about this.
Pretty laughable that it makes the lead story on the news. What has this world become...
Short attention spans. People are bored of the one conflict they momentarily could be bothered to feel enough empathy to virtual signal about. All those ones in Africa don't count. None of those black people are famous and could remotely assist in the real war; political partisanship.

you're not wrong in a greater sense....but the oscars have always been news for at least the week around the event its self...nominations, wins, who was hard done by, the fashion etc...so hard a surprise that a genuine A list celebrity walking on stage and hitting another (arguably?) is news at least immediately after

It’s not COVID or the Ukraine. It’s a fun distraction.
You need to get out more.

Too dangerous, I might get slapped

@crucial there is a looong back story of their 'entanglements' they've shared in some podcasts. Lots of dirty laundry shared and it never seemed like Will was that keen on any of it - and he's been coping shit for being a simp/cuck/insert your favoured meme term here.
I think he totally went Richard Williams once he caught Jada's expression.

@rancid-schnitzel that guy is on fire

Glad this thread is still up and going strong.
I listened to a bit of talkback this avo and a former pro wrestler rang up with his take. Basically he thought it was a bit of a gimmick……only no one told Chris Rock. He mentioned how Smith would have screen fighting experience and explained how you can make a slap sound loud but not really hurt the person much if at all. That to me explains how Rock looked a bit surprised but 100% unhurt ie he didn’t ‘sell’ the move…( stagger, fall over, clutch his face etc )

Maybe it backfired?

Trying to give the Oscars a bit of notoriety ? Who knows

Yeah, maybe your both right
I just figure he was literally a strong shot for his first Oscar…so it would be a super weird decision to taint that
