Thanks for the link. I watched the slow mo. It looks to me as if Smith slapped Chris in the jaw...? I read that Chris joked about the Smiths back when they were boycotting the Oscars. Maybe Smith has had a grudge against Chris, and this was the final straw. Or, maybe the whole story has been a set up from the beginning - who knows? But, the Smiths have been behaving ridiculously for years now.
yeah but watch the fingers- keep rewinding by clicking on the timeline at bottom at the 7 second mark- watch it over and over- you can see the fingers swept backwards away from the face instead of straight on for a full on slap-
I mean i suppose it could be real, and he is just a wussy that slaps like that- but being that he is an actor trained to slap like that in movies in order to protect the slapee— makes me think he wasn’t serious about it and that it was a stunt- Even the whole awards group apologizing- could have been to garner more interest in the show- I woudl think that if it had been real he at least, or if was gonna hold back and slap, woudl have cuffed rock upside the face, which is a whole different kind of slap- just my opinion
the link in 267 is better- comes riht up and is cued almost to the slap- the 7 second mark is the start of the slap-
