Zero chance. Jada has a hair loss condition that Chris made a joke about in poor taste. Will saw how upset it made his wife and got angry. There was a chance it was staged until he started swearing after he sat back down followed by crying through his acceptance speech.
He’s at the pinnacle of his career, only a Jussie would have staged that.
Chris Rock was completely thrown when he started talking.
The reason he didn’t punch him is because he wasn’t trying to hurt him, just embarrass him.
pretty sure even the swearing was all staged too to ‘shock’ the audience- the two of them are laughing all the way to the bank over it-
The swearing especially makes it seem ‘real’ to me. These guys are old pros and wouldn’t do that on live TV unless they were in dire shape or mentally broken down.
I thought Smith looked like he’d kill himself on stage on his acceptance speech. If it was acting, he deserved an oscar just for that.
I agree with your assessment. Will was visibly angry..went full ghetto..and Rock was stunned . Kudos to Rock for pulling himself together
