On the positive note…. Nobody go shot…

Yeah, well, Alec Baldwin wasn't there.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

“You just gonna let him get away with that?”

Followed by “aww hell no”.

Followed by a short-armed slap.

Should have just shot him, which is proper protocol.

Will went off script, literally.

Chris Rock:

“When I go to the money machine at night, I’m not looking over my shoulder for the media...”

“Ted Kopple never took nothin’ from me...”

...but Whoopi Goldberg DEFENDS him on The View, saying 'sometimes you behave badly'

Sure. And save your worst behavior for when you're on live TV, broadcast around the world, so you can yell threatening obscenities at someone - twice! How many years of these ceremonies being broadcast and this is a first.

The FBI was called in and found Fresh Prints. (shamelessly stolen)

[pas]

You know why he used an open hand. Paper beats rock.

[Rummyfan]

'I think he overreacted…I think he had one of those moments where it was like G.D. it, just stop,' Whoopi said.

Just stop?! It was a throwaway one-liner.

[Grampa Dave]

Well there’s certainly no reason to talk about any of the crappy movies.

Crappy movies with crappy actors of color have zero reasons for any discussions besides, “They are crappy!”

[Rummyfan]

On the positive note…. Nobody got shot…

Maybe next year. But I still won't be watching.

[Morgana]

“Try to imagine for a second what would happen if Will Smith were white...”

Yes I know they are basically telling us they do not care if blacks beat up and kill each other. This is the new entertainment of the Roman Colosseum and the blacks are the gladiators beating each other to death. It used to be on just World Star now it’s on the Oscars for an Oscar.

[Fledermaus]

It was so staged. Very scripted.

[Grampa Dave]

Assault, someone on national tv and win an oscar instead of a trip to jail!:

[al baby]

LMAO

[Rummyfan]

Without the slap, would anyone be talking about this non event?

Nope...

[Rummyfan]

He let’s other men screw his wife, but not insult her?

I guess that's where he draws the line!

[cuz1961]

Chris Rock insults someone for their medical condition
/\

Maybe he didn’t know.

My wife , petit mal cerebral palsy.

A medical condition.
A disability.

If I assaulted every one who made snide comments , knowingly or not, it still be in jail.

When they made the joke about her speech , or tremors, I would state what her condition was

And those who were around would be disgusted at the one who made the comment

that consequence was good enough for us

And more often then not an apology to her and I was made

No punk ass thuggery needed.

It’s not like Chris’s called her a whore.

And even if he had, does not justify assault.

That’s not manly,
that’s not honourable,
that’s crap.

That whole attitude is why chitcago and other thug low life city has so many murders.

[Ann Archy]

Will just thought he was at Chuckie Cheese.

[Old Yeller]

It would have more credibility if Smith did not have an open marriage.

[Louis Foxwell]

Quite plainly a man submissive to the sensitivities and ego of a woman.

[Ann Archy]

WHAT???? Does she CHEAT on him??? And he KNOWS of it??? If so, then he is a BI SEXUAL....why ELSE would she be with other men?

[Ann Archy]

I didn't think it was funny either, BUT what are comedians supposed to JOKE about these days??? EVERYTHING will get you cancelled!

Also, this was staged to get some JAZZ going about movies and the OSCARS that NOBODY watches.

Are the OSCRAS ONLY for BLACKS now??
