....”compromising the integrity of the Academy” is a laugher.
These low lifes today (Smith and Rock) insult the integrity of men like Jimmy Stewart who flew 26 odd bomber missions over Germany; or, men like Lee Marvin who fought with the Marines at Iwo Jima; or Charles Bronson who served and flew 25 missions as a tail gunner and received the purple heart; or, Henry Fonda who won the Bronze Star while serving in the Navy; or Clark Gable who participated in many combat missions during the war.
How far the Academy has sunk regarding integrity and morality is best illustrated by comparing todays Academy participants with participants in Clark Gable’s era.
A lot of us haven’t been to a movie in 20 years of more. Smith and Rock exemplify why.
This is evidence the slap was not staged.
Chris Rock will probably get about $2M. His lawyers will get $3M.
One thing I am confused about? When I saw the video.. it was like Will Smith and his wife had some sort of private table by the stage? Did I see that right?
“Asked”?
You know damn well normal person would have been removed by security of the cops….
I don’t buy a word of it…
Not one word
Fresh Prince of Bed-Stuy.
Lemme see. Wasn't it last year the academy pimps were criticized because there weren't any thug winners? And this year, viola!
It was a publicity stunt!
That would have been epic if Security threw Will Smith out on the sidewalk and then tossed down his Oscar beside him with a loud clatter. Then sneer “Congratulations!” and slam the door. Epic!
Why do I not believe this story?
Roman Polansky
Harvey Weinstein
Jack Nicholsen
And every pedo that abused countless child actors
#blackprivilege
“traumatic”?
The Academy does not know the meaning of the word if thery are using it for a slapping between two guys...
It was fake.
Smith didn't just violate the code of ethics, he went on stage and tore it up like Pelosi tearing the SOTU, before millions of people. So let's hope the punishment fits the crime. Disallowing his appearance next year is not enough.
So, he was asked, and not removed...
Yea, okay.. Everyone knows if they had behaved as he did, they would have been physically removed, if they didn’t leave when asked, either by security or the police.
These people are just scum on every level.
I had never seen a man slap another man before this Will Smith and Chris Rock encounter. Is this the new masculine way of insulting but not hurting another male? In my experience, punching is what males generally do if they are serious about defending whatever or whoever. Yesteryear’s actors would have, at the very least, made it more authentic and come off looking like a hero to their lady love and their fans. How far Hollywood has fallen from the great actors and their movies that we took for granted and graded according to talent.
“Slappy Smith was asked to leave the Oscars after slapping Chris Rock but he refused, the Academy says”
I've seen much worse in bar fights, having been in several myself, and after all was said and done, everything was forgotten the next time we met........shit happens but at the grandiose awards of the culturally elite, that makes the news.........
