Will Smith needs some serious mental help.

Smith is a very good actor... could have easily faked the anger. Just can't help but believe it was staged.

It's like assuming that Will Smith can just cry on demand. I guess he should be chosen to play the part in the Jussie Smollett biopic...

This would have been a more classy way to slap him.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Guys! I thought it was real, but I just learned both people involved really are actors….

Well whatever it was it worked. I've never watched an Oscars before in my life including last night. I will however be tuning in for 2023 in eager anticipation of a fight between Kirsten Dunst and Kristen Stewart over the proper way to spell Kristin.

My money's on Dunst. I cannot stand Bellllllla, excuse me, Stewart.

Will Smith needs some serious mental help.

Start with removing the very person trying to emasculate him at every turn.

Will Smith needs some serious mental help.

He did to Chris what he's been wanting to do to his wife all of this time.

Also, I really wish people would stop referring to Jada like she has some serious life threatening disease. She is literally just balding, which 80% of men experience before turning 50.

An entire sitcom was centered around a short bald man being mocked for losing his hair. Deal with it, Jada.

If Chris Rock is going to get slapped over that, Rickey Gervais should feel blessed they weren't packing heat the night he hosted. He was making me laugh and shift uneasily in my seat at the same time. Don Rickles would have bowed down to him.

I wonder if the CEO of ATT would like to do that to John Oliver?

LMAO that Bayless is saying Smith was in character as Richard Williams. How long ago did he portray him?

 

[RJ_MacReady]

The Oscars are still irrelevant. No one's talking about the Oscar's here.

Yes, irrelevant to me, but here we are talking about what happened at the Oscars. Multiply that by all of the casual smooth brains out there that only tune into the Super Bowl for the halftime show, and that's who the Adademy Awards is targeting.

You got quite the conspiracy going here now. So now Chris Rock will be the host? LOL.

Oh yeah, "cONsPirACy!!!"

I see you're "LOL" and raise you a 1-month avatar bet next year when Chris Rock is a host of that abomination. Deal? I'll get rid of that Rowdy for a month and put an Eagles avatar instead. Very fitting..

 

[Manwiththeplan]

It's amazing the conspiracies that people will believe and then not believe what happened last night

Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, nothing about that was staged

No one stages an actual hit to the face

And quite frankly, Chris Rock isn't a good enough actor to even attempt to pull this off

 

[FloridaRob]

No big deal with an obvious fake like this ....... just surprised people actually fell for it.

Right! I bet you believe the moon landing was fake too. smh

Usually I do not comment on avatar bets but asking a fellow Cowboys fan to risk adopting another NFL avatar (especially a Philly one) is a bit too much in my opinion. Are there any alternatives that would make a point and be demeaning at the same time?

How about an avatar of Roseanne Barr from She-Devil? You know. Like the one with the huge mole on her face?

 

[zrinkill]

Right! I bet you believe the moon landing was fake too. smh

I bet you believed when Andy Kaufman got slapped on Letterman it was real also ....... he screamed the f word on live TV also .....

 

[zrinkill]

Yea that does not look like someone with there hands behind their back bracing themselves for a fake slap.

People get roasted on these award shows, it's part of the gig. Jada isn't a "civilian", she's an actress married to another high profile actor and they're sitting smack dab in the middle right up front, prime roasting territory. It wasn't a great joke, probably a bit insensitive, but it didn't warrant that type of response from Will Smith.

Ricky Gervais was a whole lot harder on these room full of actors.
