2022 Oscars

Forums:

The real winner was the Oscars themselves for allowing the Fresh Prince to return to his seat after assaulting Pookie.  

Mr Smith is lucky Mr Rock did not fall & hit his head. It would have been more serious. 

Mr Smith's wife suffers from Alopecia, a pattern baldness that  rarely affects women. It is a disease I have. Would anyone jump up to protect me from ridicule? 

I felt that it was tasteless that he mentioned Venus & Serena's Dad as a protector of the family. as if that lent some authority to his behavior.

I also felt it was equally tacky to throw Denzel under the bus.

Should the Academy take action against Mr Smith for his violent behavior? Should he be banned from the organization or be stripped of his award or should an asterisk be placed  by his name?

Or should his celebrity status overlook this incident? 

 

 

Mr. Rock needed to be shown the boundaries. Yes, he is quite fortunate not to have also fallen and hit his head.

Separately, the fresh prince hits about as hard as he raps.

And in some strange way, props to chris rock for taking the hit.

I felt like I needed a shower after seeing that exchange.

 

I was happy to see QuestLove win documentary for Summer of Soul, the only one I have seen and a fantastic film.

I feel this could have legs in a wider forum.  Unless it started there and made its way here.

Funny either way.

I read that the Academy is investigated the incident, whatever that will mean.

They're investigating how many clicks the video generates and whether it will boost their ratings next year.

 

Too cynical?
