Will smith punch Chris Rock right on Oscars.

I know this is off topic here but just wanted to update a bit. He was laughing at first I'm not sure what happen there. All of a sudden he just walk straight to Chris and this isn't a joke at all. Glad to see Chris didn't retaliate right on the stage. Will the Oscar invite someone like Smith after this?

I thought it was part of Chris Rock's presentation, however when the audio was turned off and censored in ABC's broadcast, I learn that it was a real slap. But I was still confused hehehe.

You ask will the academy invite someone like Will Smith after this? The answer would be they will certainly invite someone like Will Smith after this hehehe. It might pump the ratings.



Also, Coda for best picture is my only winning bet. I have learned that in betting on the Oscars we should wait until the last week, wait for those odds that have fallen from high to low because it might be the winner. Coda was 17.00 and fell to 2.00, the best supporting actor also was higher before it went down. There were also other categories where this occured.

Will smith punch Chris Rock right on Oscars.

When I read the news I thought it was a stunt to increase the ratings, but the more I watch and read about it the more I think that Will hit Chris Rock for real. This has to be probably the most bizarre Oscar thing I ever saw. The thing that really baffles me is how so many actors reacted to the incident by saying "oh he is from Philly, they are emotional ppl" or something along those lines, like wtf. I wonder what would happen if someone else hit Chris, someone like Mel Gibson who already has a  bad rep.

Looking from a bright side, at least we got a new meme template

They copy/pasted Batman slapping Robin meme. So this is not a new meme template If I wasnt that lazy, I would have added text from Oscar into their speech bubbles



I think this was stages. They have done such things thousand times in movies. This was done on purpose, as Oscar ratings are low. Btw, their staging reminded me of a an old tv show parenting court There, people (mostly black Americans) fight with their partners, when it turns out they cheated and father raised someone else child. Or celebrate when the kid is not their and they dont have to pay aliments.

This was stages, because who would slap an opponent, when he talks bad about your wife? Straight punch, 1-2 combo or overhand is an answer in such situation. Not slapping.

Will Smith stood up for his wife. Yeah, right. And their couple say they have an open relationships and his wife now dates August Alsina, young guy. While being married. And Will accepts it. And he slapped Chris Rock for bad words. Why not slap a guy who does Wimoweh with his wife ?

[VanityWallets2015]

I think that was really a slap and not staged and as you can see in Will Smith's Instagram account he publicly apologized to Chris and see his action unacceptable and inexcusable though I understand that he just get by his emotions.

Yeah I know about that template but that's not the one I was referring to. This is one the memes using the new one

Slapping a man is even more disrespectful than a straight punch. Also, real life fight looks nothing like a scene from a Hollywood movie, majority of people don't even know hot to throw a proper punch, let alone combos.

While actors are ready to do just about anything to get extra attention (Jussie Smollet is perfect example) I don't think that this was staged. Physical violence + cursing while we know how prune Hollywood has become? I don't think that Will Smith and Chris Rock were that stupid. Will Smith's erratic behavior after that just confirms that something was off the other night.

[ChiBitCTy]

Did anything crazy or exciting happen at the Oscar’s, I hadn’t heard  . What a wild event. I tuned in a couple times throughout the evening just to check in on some of the winners as I bet on a few of them (will smith winning included) but of course the slap heard round the world took the evening. What a crazy event ! Lol.

He could have just talked it out with Chris Rock instead he assault the guy he lose a lot from these unfortunate events, even if the joke is in bad taste you don't assault a guy in front of millions, Chris Rock never saw it coming not even all of us, the Oscar should ban him from all events an attack on one comedian is an attack to all comedian he is a bad example he's been here for so many years, he should know how to react properly.

I agree.  At first I was a little unsure of how I felt about it.  I kind of thought Will Smith had some justification for doing so, but then thinking it over and hearing other peoples viewpoints around it, I've come to the conclusion that Will was completely in the wrong and needs to be punished accordingly.  Apparently Chris Rock didn't know about the medical issue with Jada, and it truly was a tame joke and not like he was making fun of her.  GI Jane was a bad ass, it would be different if she wasn't.  It wasn't a good joke though, but Smith should have confronted him on his own terms not in public.  Very embarrassing for the whole family.

Exactly mate! We have to accept that we have our own type of views that others don't share because of that facts that we have our own different choices and wants in every aspects of like including the movies. There are also times that we can meet some people that share the same view with us, but times like that are not too often. Let's just respect each other

Good to see some life in the forum and people talking too. One thing is for sure that movies bring in so much life in people's busy schedule.
Taking out sometime - sitting together with family and friends is always a fun. Even the boring movie becomes so thrilling that one feels excited that at least they spent some quality time with loved ones!

That surely depends on the movie if the whole squad or family likes it and not for the sake of bonding, I mean the movie will be much more interesting to see if the majority of the squad or family wants it so that a movie won't be boring to sit throughout.

I even enjoy watching it with my friends and family when we have some to discuss about the movie. Its is always a pleasure sitting together and have great time together. Also listening to the song together brings in so many memories. People shed tears while listening to the songs and watching movies they used to do it with parents and family. It has so much power.

I don't know about you, but I think that over the years in many films we have been prepared in some way, there are films that are so eloquent that there are some that predicted the way the world was going to act in the face of a pandemic, another movie in a war, there are even movies that make references to the fact that the world can become a very deadly virus that is with reference to zombies, and when reviewing some scientific facts they indicate that the most likely thing that can happen to the world it is a virus where people become something like zombies, I don't know but I think that in some way they have been warning us, it is not to be skeptical, but any event in reality is mere coincidence.


In another order of ideas, what happened to Will Smith do you think Hollywood will close the doors of the famous actor? I understand that when they want to get someone out of the way in Hollywood they don't skimp on taking action even if the person is very famous. I have always supported that they defend all kinds of aggression against a woman or a child, although the use of violence is the last resort, unfortunately sometimes it is necessary.

I agree.  At first I was a little unsure of how I felt about it.  I kind of thought Will Smith had some justification for doing so, but then thinking it over and hearing other peoples viewpoints around it, I've come to the conclusion that Will was completely in the wrong and needs to be punished accordingly.  Apparently Chris Rock didn't know about the medical issue with Jada, and it truly was a tame joke and not like he was making fun of her.  GI Jane was a bad ass, it would be different if she wasn't.  It wasn't a good joke though, but Smith should have confronted him on his own terms not in public.  Very embarrassing for the whole family.

I think Will Smith has an anger management issue and his wife is in total command of him, he is laughing when Rock is cracking a joke but there's a big turnaround after he saw his wife and his laughter turns to anger, this is a big disgrace for Oscar they should take action and ask Smith to bring back the trophy he doesn't deserve it, he did not represent on what the Oscar stands for, they should have security on stand by on the next Oscar.

we don't know what's going on with their lives, so imo, let them resolve what needs to be resolved. and by the way, we will hear soon from the Academy if will smith has violated the Academy's code of conduct and what they will do if it has been proven that he did. remember, it was televised and so many viewers have seen this incident. are they going to punish him or just let it go. now, we are talking about this incident rather than the winners. lol

Sorry but he should have instantly been walked out of that arena.  You know how many kids look up to these stars.  Doing nothing condones this.  Chris Rock is a comedian and everyone was getting roasted.  Wierd Smith allows other dudes to tag his wife but wigs out over a joke.

He should be punished it's everywhere now, people might think that Oscar is a weak organization and they condone violence and hatred he crossed the line of decency, he is the first one to do that in Oscar, which means he shows no respect to the Oscar if Oscar will not punish guy like this, then expect more scenario like this to happen in the future.

I have been posting in the forum for weeks and I never saw people coming to this thread. But the Will Smith publicity stunt brought life to this forum. This is the power of drama and acting. The show got more followers and many people talking and discussing it. Hence a success.

I think Will Smith has a mental breakdown and mental health problem and we can't blame him if he snapped out but the good thing about it is that he admitted that he is wrong and he apologized to Chris Rock but still this is very controversial since it was done live and in front of everyone.

Yeah, but I guess he is just too emotional and doesn't want everyone including Chris Rock to make fun of Jada's predicament that's why he had to make that point, but it was during a live audience and no one anticipated it.

Everyone was surprised even the Network that they have to mute the mic and go on a break. And it seems that the people are divided, others are saying that it is an assault, while there are certain individuals taking Will Smith's side.

[perla]

It looks like the main focus of the Oscars was that scene, does anyone here tried to place bet in Oscars awards? I don't think there's too many people here are placing bets with the Oscards or probably was aware of the Oscars I am only aware of it because of what happened between Will Smith and Chris Rock.

[TopTort777]

As if Will Smith does not know what of jokes Chris Rock usually tell. Check Chris Rocks stand-up performances. Lots of sexual and racist jokes. If this wasnt Oscar ceremony, his jokes would be more rude. I think, that if you cant laugh on a joke, dont listen to them, skip them, play your mobile games, or just leave, no one force you to sit there. If Smith has mental problems - go visit a doctor, get some pills. His is a celebrity and example how to behave for millions. Now he shows on public that it is ok to do violence. 

[Kakmakr]

I was blown away by the movie "Dune" winning 6 Oscars !! The spice was flowing for this movie! .... I used to play video games like "Dune" and "Dune II" and "Dune 2000" back in the day, so I was looking forward to the movie. I have to say, I was a bit disappointed by the movie and I would never have guessed that it would win 6 Oscars!

In my opinion ...Will Smith took all the limelight in the 2022 Oscars and everyone will remember the 2022 Oscars for that slap and not for "Dune" winning 6 Oscars.  

[famososMuertos]

...//..,,,
Also, Coda for best picture is my only winning bet. I have learned that in betting on the Oscars we should wait until the last week, wait for those odds that have fallen from high to low because it might be the winner. Coda was 17.00 and fell to 2.00, the best supporting actor also was higher before it went down. There were also other categories where this occured.

Not only with the Oscars, in several betting sites you can bet on sports with a lot of time and the odds change, so much so that sometimes it is preferable to withdraw the bet

WS is a crybaby, in a good way, if you follow him he cries whenever he can, for example, in the reunion of the prince of rap, he did, he talks to Oprah he cries, he talks about his marriage he cries, he talks about his bad relationship with his eldest son, he cries, the guy wrote a sincere biography where he talks about the complex relationship he had with his father, it breaks him... so ok.

Now in the case of Sunday you cannot generate violence and then talk about love!!
If you have so much love, you should have had it to accept what, by culture, exists in American humor.

What happened here? come on, in the entertainment environment if a comedian makes fun of you, it means you're trending, sometimes I think that's a fucking thing, but it was said about Don Rickles that when an artist came to his presentations it was fucking terrible if he ignored you, and this guy based his presentations on insult, and this humorist is from the middle of the last century.

This seems like a simple slip, but it's weird, is it one of those things that lead you to think despite the circumstantial facts, what happened here? If we weren't sure what happened, if they told you about it, you would think it was an abduction-type story.

[ufaiz50]

Yes what WS show was not right and slapping the host in front of everyone is very disrespectful, I see a lot of host who also make a bad joke in Oscar but it is part of the entertainment a big respect to Chris Rock for showing professionalism after he was slapped he continued with hosting and I lose respect to Will Smith in an instant.
