to reinforce each other about how wonderful and woke and blah blah blah blah blah...

And Will Smith took offense at a joke Chris Rock made about Jada Pinkett-Smith's hair... so Will Smith marched up on stage and... and slapped the *expletive deleted*it out of Chris Rock. And it apparently wasn't a gag.

And then a few minutes later Will Smith the Oscar for best actor.


And the only thing I actually care about from the Oscars is that Dune won 6 statues.

You about coulda kept in politics if you wanted, given the lib politicians that all came out in favor of violence. I'm sure it was real, though you could still convince me it's fake, given the Oscar's terrible ratings and what they would do to change that.

"It's what you get for making fun of a black woman's hair!" Okay. Replace that with "white".

This would get most anyone anywhere in the real world fired from their jobs.

    I just don’t think Chris Rock, who created a full-on documentary about hair culture, would intentionally come for a woman he knew was suffering from a medical condition that causes hair loss. I am willing to bet he does not know about Jada’s alopecia at all. #Oscars

Didn't know she was "suffering from a medical condition that causes hair loss".
So yeah, I can understand a father flipping out.

Making bald jokes is off limits now?  What about fat jokes?  "Your mama" jokes?

FYI, Will Smith is Jada's husband.

I thought we're all about equality and "no genders" now? If you want to be equal to men, then suck it up and take it for the same bald jokes that I get.

Sorry husband. For some reason got it in my head she was his daughter.

I not saying he was justified in slapping him just I can understand why he flipped out if it is due to a medical condition. To me medical conditions are off limits.

Truth.

I used to like Will Smith, but he has gone off the rails.  Maybe that is related to Scientology or maybe that is related to his career success.  Either way, Smith has fallen way down.

for one I bet he's still not over the royal ripping both he and his son got over that sci fi movie they made. Even the trailers couldn't made it appear remotely watchable.

AFAIK, baldness in females is the same as males - it can be either genetic or medical. I've never had anyone ask me if I have a medical condition before they make a bald joke. Nor do I care. I laugh along with everyone else.  =)

Make a mean spirited joke about a guy's wife and you might get hit.

This is not news in any of the circles I run.

Chris is fine, Will isn't looking to catch him later and finish the job.  This is nothingburger promoted up the public consciousness by pearl clutching idiots who have internalized that no violence is ever OK.


Don't run your mouth about other people, and don't *expletive deleted*ck Around, or you may Find Out.

^ Well put.

If it was a publicity stunt, it worked.  It made me comment, even if indirectly, on something about the Oscars.

Apparently Chris Rock has just said he's not going to press charges.

Someone mentioned "Dune" . . . eventually I plan to see this remake. Other movies mentioned (in the paper, I didn't watch the show) - nope.

For a number of years now, most Oscar nominee movies have been utter crapola - they're on a par with art critics giving awards to a canvas smeared with fecal matter. Or a row of toilets.

And in a couple of years, eligibility for a nomination will require adherence to a quota on the actors, writers, and everyone else working on the movie - racial quota, LGBTQEIEIO quota, medical condition quota, and maybe a few more categories. Guaranteed to reduce the already low quality of Oscar-nominated movies. (To enforce this - won't they need a database with information many people would regard as private?)

Maybe it's something in the water they drink, but the movie community isn't merely eccentric any more, they're well down the road to total insanity.

From the producer of The Last Samurai...

""I call upon the Academy, of which I am a member, to take disciplinary action against Will Smith," he tweeted. 'He disgraced our entire community tonight."


Given some of the *expletive deleted*it that's happened inside his industry over the past 10 or so years, and THIS is what he's worried about?

Wow.

They'll start blaming it on the pressures of white supremacy soon if they haven't already, do a victory dance, and go home.

I liked it.  It popped back up on HBO streaming so I could watch it at home.  It wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good.

I have an HBO subscription through my cable provider, which I think let's me stream HBO Max -- no sure about that. I'll have to check into it because I'd like to see Dune again.

He appeared to strike him according to CNN.

Honestly from what video I'm seen so far I can't tell if he actually did make contact. Smith had a bit of smirk on his face the whole time. Makes me wonder.
