Movie 2022 Academy Awards

[Ice-Wolf]

Will Smith is going to be mocked mercilessly at next years Oscars, bet the host will come out in a suit of armour or one of those bite suits

By now I would have thought Will Smith would be used to his wife being in the mouth of other men.

If (hypothetically) speaking Christian Bale came out and slapped Chris Rock for making a vulgar and cruel joke about his Missus, I wonder if any of the 'puritan nuffies' raging at Smith would condemn Bale as much. Sadly I suspect most would be congratulating Bale.

I'd have expected Bale to be escorted out of the building as well.

Ricky Gervais must be bemused that such a soft joke got that reaction after his Golden Globes stint.

I actually think the response would of been far wider condemnation than you've seen of Will Smith.

 

[WhippingCupcakes]

If a random guy got and did that on live national tv, he would of been gang tackle by security guards and then drag out of there, but Will Smith is famous, and they act if nothing happened, that’s the way of the world

Seriously.. so is Will Smiths career going to be ruined for this behaviour like so many others for far far less? How are people defending this...

Seth MacFarlane as well.

I think they'd go harder and play it up as a hate crime.

I think in the coming days, we will learn that this is not the first time Rock (and others) have taken the piss out of Jada and her medical condition and Smith understandably snapped.

Chris Rock is not the innocent victim that many seem to think he is.

Not a chance. Bale would be roundly condemned. No chance Washington or any of the actors who 'comforted' or perhaps 'calmed' Smith after the incident would have done so if it was Bale either. Would be seen as a racial incident as well. Bale would probably be lucky to work again, at least not without a groveling apology.

 

[Engimal v3]

This is what happens when a man's reputation sinks from "super rich megastar" to "renowned cuckold"

That joke was more about putting himself down if it's the Rhianna joke.
I think there might be some truth that he was coked up. You don't go onstage to belt someone unless your artificially confident or in good mental health.

Yeah nah - everyone knows Rock is a comedian paid to do this gig. I would wager all of his jokes were vetted by the academy beforehand and greenlit. This is tame by comedy standards.

The slap was not justifiable by any standards and is a massive over reaction. The narrative will be around will smith who doesn’t appear well.

It was probably a work, no one has GAF about the Oscar’s for a long time.

Nah, Smith will be fine.

This will blow over in a week or two, Snoop Dogg is apparently working on getting them to make peace together/work out their issues.

 

[Cleavy]

what odds are currently on offer with the bookmakers that they actually do make GI Jane 2?

 

[RookiePick]

Peace pipe?

Have I missed something here, will and Jada got a cuckold type deal going ?

No way Ice, more like from the moment he did it and kept mouthing off from his seat digging the hole deeper.

 

[Bostonian]

Don't these Awards jokes the hosts put out get co-written and vetted and approved by the actual awards people first?

Think they might.

 

[Bostonian]

Yeah she screwed her sons friend.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Haven't seen a more dramatic Academy Awards since the time Phil Donohue ran amuck

 

[Bostonian]

Be interesting to see what happens out in comedy land now if people starting trying to harm comedians simply because they tell a joke someone doesn't like.

They have an open relationship.
