Everyone hates Chris.13

I’ve deleted my observation for fear of being abused for it. Too old for that.0

No wonder his kids are so fucked up and self entitled. Ruined his own big night (assuming that this is real which I have my doubts about)0

Will Smith shouldn’t have done it, no question, and needs to be censured in some way but the colour of either man’s skin had honestly not occurred to me until I saw your post.meldrew66 said:Thank God the ‘attacker’ wasn’t a white man! We’d never hear the last of it and his career would be finished. We live in very interesting times, eh?!
Why have you chosen to make this a race issue? Call that ‘Woke’ or whatever you fucking like mate, posts like that sicken me.24 -
Apparently Jada Smith has alopecia, so maybe Chris Rock could have been a bit more sensitive? Though Will does laugh at the "joke" initially.0

After seeing that punch he obviously forgot all his training for Ali as it was weak as hell.11

I wonder who will play them in the movie???
Big Willy obviously didn’t take too kindly to a joke about his wife’s alopecia but I’m not convinced this was the right course of action. That being said though…..it probably is what many would have done had their wife just been mocked in front of millions.
Naturally Twitter-folk are calling for assault charges and for Smith to be imprisoned for this.1 -
It wasn't a punch, more of a slap, all it was missing was a glove for a duel.MrOneLung said:After seeing that punch he obviously forgot all his training for Ali as it was weak as hell.2 -
Can’t believe it was a set up, but equally can’t get how you could be that angry to be moved to doing something like that, and then slap not punch someone.

I wonder if his mum got scared?19

On the assumption it wasn’t a set up (the sloppy punch thing looks a bit wet but the effing and jeffing looks genuine), this provides an interesting example of how our reactions have changed (or rather our “training” in increasingly PC times has evolved). The race thing is an utter irrelevance in this instance. But my reaction as a fifty something bloke went in the space of five minutes from “Good on ya Will” to “maybe should have taken it outside afterwards mate” to “not in front of the children” to “what a shame for him, he’s ruined his own big night doing something we all privately admit we’d have struggled not to do in the same circs” to “Heavens above I can’t condone violence of any kind, I hope he’s admonished (and Chris Rock too)” I got there in the end.Or maybe it was all a ginormous set up.2

Pretty sad though that my first reaction is how much money they’ll both go on to make from it. They’ll now be the most in demand talk show guest for the next two years. Controversy ignites publicity and publicity is rocket fuel in their worlds.1

Will Smith and his wife are one strange couple and he didn't look that bothered by the joke initially.
About the only vaguely interesting thing at this borefest.3 -

Slap looked staged. Not buying it.7

To be fair I think it's the talk shows that benefit most from having a Will Smith or Chris Rock onAFKABartram said:Pretty sad though that my first reaction is how much money they’ll both go on to make from it.

Looks well staged. Hollywood is a desperate place.5

Having watched it a couple of times it does look staged but the verbal stuff looks more genuine.Dazzler21 said:Slap looked staged. Not buying it.1 -
Seemed pretty genuine to me (at least the rage was). I've seen Will Smith act and he isn't that good.
23 -
The slap I could see as staged but the swearing leading to the feed being cut wouldn't have been.
Makes me think overall it must've been real. Think Smith wasn't too bothered by the joke but went up once he saw how upset his wife was about it.4 -
There's no way that's staged, Chris Rock looks visibly shocked and lost for words for a bit. He's not that good an actor.
Plus of course the swearing after, twice.3 -
Think Smith will need to keep a low profile for a bit.
Maybe move to his auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.17 -
If celebrities got offended and reacted like that every time a 'bad taste' joke was said, Ricky Gervais would've been laid out every time he presented the Golden Globes.Algarveaddick said:Apparently Jada Smith has alopecia, so maybe Chris Rock could have been a bit more sensitive?

We have a terrible war in Ukraine, a huge cost of living crisis, Covid infections at a high and the news this morning is mainly about the Oscars.8

I get what you mean, but tomorrow we will still be talking about all the other things but not the Oscars.ME14addick said:We have a terrible war in Ukraine, a huge cost of living crisis, Covid infections at a high and the news this morning is mainly about the Oscars.
I actually find it quite nice to see some other news for a change!2 -
That's why a big name good actor was used as part of the stage rather than someone of Eastenders quality.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:
