[In an unassuming home in Hollywood,
cardboard boxes and black suitcases wait
in the front hall. “Congratulations, Benedict Cumberbatch”
reads a laminated card on top of a suitcase.
A similar one for Judi Dench sits atop a box,
ready for shipping to the UK.
All around the house, luxury products – moisturisers,
sunglasses – are cluttered on tables.
The place has the feel of
Santa’s grotto on Christmas Eve.

This is the home of the fabulously
named Lash Fary, the Father Christmas behind
the annual unofficial Oscars gift bag,
which is officially the biggest gift bag
the nominees receive.
Gift bags, actually: there are enough items to
fill a large suitcase and carrier bag,
and they get sent to what Fary
describes as “the top nominees” – : best actor,
best actress, best director, best supportings.]

These 3 presenters Failed
big time.


Adding Pathetic Lame comedy

[arista]

Will Smith on getting his Oscar
was crying.

He mentioned Denzel's comment
to him, "At your Highest moment
be careful, that's when the Devil
gets you."


He also Apologised
to the Academy.


The Whole show went 15mins over its time.

[arista]

[Up until Smith's assault on Rock,
the show had been running fairly smoothly.

Meanwhile, the organizers of the Oscars
are under fire for paying 'tribute' to the people of Ukraine
without mentioning the country
by name or directly addressing Russia's invasion,
despite the hosts' eagerness to go
after domestic political issues.

The 94th Academy Awards got underway
Sunday night at 8pm, with ABC carrying
the three-hour telecast from the
Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Actress Mila Kunis, who was born
in Ukraine, took the stage at the Oscars to
address Russia's invasion of her home country,
leading a moment of silence after praising
'those who keep fighting through
unfathomable darkness.'

Kunis, without mentioning Ukraine
or Russia by name, said that in recent weeks the
world had been shocked by 'recent global events',
before introducing country superstar Reba McEntire,
who delivered a live performance of Somehow You Do.]

[Strictly Jake]

While violence is never ok. Neither was the joke that Chris made. I assume he didn't know about Jada's condition but still wasn't a clever joke to make if you don't know someones story. Will was defending his wife. Imagine how awkward Jada must have felt sensing the awkwardness in the room or perhaps people laughing when she was probably not feeling at her most confident you can see the sadness on her face. Will would have seem that and I get why he was angry and I get why he defended her. Wasn't the right way to do it but I'm siding with Will

[MTVN]

Was a poor taste joke tbh and easy to sympathise with Will Smith because of it but you can't react like that, bit weird he was able to just retake his seat and no one did anything about it

No GMBHD itv
said Chris Rock was aware of her hair condition.
And she is a Tough Actress



As Chris Rock never made a complaint for the Punch/Slap
the police are not taking it further.

then Shouted never talk about my wife

So after that
it was the end of it.

I got in 1 little fight and my mum got scared she said youre moving with your aunty n uncle in bel air

[user104658]

IIRC in most US states an "open-hand slap" is considered a much less serious form of assault than a punch (as to be fair, it's much less likely to cause serious injury) but yeah :umm2: ... I understand his anger but you can't lose your cool to the point of physical assault.

If he'd just shouted clearly angry like he did afterwards I think he'd have gotten the point across. In fact, I think the audience thought it was a planned part of the show until he followed up with the shouting.

[user104658]

Chris Rock missed a golden opportunity. "When you watch a documentary... you feel smart. Much smarter than... say... Jada Pinkett Smith."

Then just ****ing run :joker:

[Niamh.]

I got in 1 little fight and my mum got scared she said youre moving with your aunty n uncle in bel air[emoji28]

[Niamh.]

Apparently there's talk about stripping Will of his Oscar now

[user104658]

"Will Smith just slapped the **** outta me!" will easily go down in history as one of the best reactions to getting slapped.

[Niamh.]

I see people are saying it was staged now, I doubt it though. What benefit would that be to Will Smith? He doesn't need any sort of publicity really

[MTVN]

No way it was staged imo, people always say that. Those were all clearly spontaneous and natural reactions - Jada obviously not happy about the joke, Chris being visibly shocked by the slap and Will's angry shouting afterwards

Stripping him of the Oscar would be stupid though

[Niamh.]

Yeah I agree Matt, if it were some reality stars or B listers even I'd think maybe it was but Will Smith is a golden boy in Hollywood, he doesn't need any publicity especially the kind that might ruin his image

[user104658]

If it had just been the slap I'd have thought it maybe was staged but the exchange afterwards it's pretty clear what's happened. Messy, really. He was laughing but Jada looked annoyed (tbf I can appreciate why, now knowing why her hair is short) but he's obviously then seen that she's upset and decided to do something about it. Their odd marital issues are probably all wrapped up in there too, things under the surface.

Chris Rock was clearly a bit shaken afterwards. I saw that "Saw" movie he was in - he's not that good an actor outside of comedy roles, no way he was faking that.

[user104658]

Yeah I agree Matt, if it were some reality stars or B listers even I'd think maybe it was but Will Smith is a golden boy in Hollywood, he doesn't need any publicity especially the kind that might ruin his image

The only thing that would make me a LITTLE sus is if he now starts taking grittier/tougher roles ... then I'm totally going to be eyeballing it as a deliberate image change. Other than that he's built an entire career on being a happy/smiley/laid back character. It's a potential career-ender for those sorts of roles.

[Niamh.]

Yeah people are making a lot of Will laughing at first but I don't think that means anything either, it probably took a few seconds for him to register what Cris had said, in these situations people sometimes are just in "laugh mode" because its what you're supposed to be doing

[bots]

my first reaction was that it was staged, then i saw Will was pretty angry. I bet Ricky G was glad he wasnt hosting it :laugh:

It's a potential career-ender for those sorts of roles.Meh, I don't think he'd need to pull a stunt to get certain roles though, he's one of the most in demand actors there is. I just can't see how this really could be in anyway good for a guy who is top of his game and almost universally liked

[Niamh.]

my first reaction was that it was staged, then i saw Will was pretty angry. I bet Ricky G was glad he wasnt hosting it [emoji23]Difference is I don't actually think Ricky would have made a joke like that. He does go close to the bone but his jokes are better thought out than that. That one was just mean spirited and not even funny either

[user104658]

Difference is I don't actually think Ricky would have made a joke like that. He does go close to the bone but his jokes are better thought out than that. That one was just mean spirited and not even funny either

If you look at the awards ceremonies where Ricky Gervais has been roasting people, he tends to mostly "punch up" (or seemingly up, it's more sideways as he is also very rich :joker: ) but he's usually taking aim at their wealth/status/how seriously they take themselves etc... I can even see him taking the piss out of DELIBRATE style/image choice... but I don't think he'd comment on something that was a result of a medical condition. Like you *can* do it but you'd only ever do it with someone you know very well, and who you are very sure will find it funny. e.g. I have a friend who has Type 1 diabetes, I've known him forever (since long before he was even diagnosed) and we've ALWAYS made "diabetes related" jokes. But I wouldn't make the same jokes with a random aquaintance or co-worker :umm2:.

As a side note I'm not condoning Will hitting Chris Rock btw, he absolutely should not have put his hands on him

If Smith was the size of Rock and Rock the size of Smith

Smith would have stayed sat in his chair

Agreed, a woman shaving her head (for whatever reason) just isn't funny, any more than a man having long hair is.

I can't agree with the violent reaction per se, but good on him for standing up for his wife's condition.

[GoldHeart]

Yes absolutely agree.

As a side note I'm not condoning Will hitting Chris Rock btw, he absolutely should not have put his hands on him

I haven't heard Rock's "jokes" as yet ,I know he slated Smith's wife though.

But I wouldn't be surprised if this was a little staged, just seems peculiar how last year's Oscars was classed as the most "boring'' ,and this year's was again called 'underwhelming' until Will Smith HIT Chris Rock in his face.

After it happened didn't Rock say "this is the best show" . Or something to that effect ,so he probably enjoyed winding Smith up. And now it's the most talked about award show for all the wrong reasons.

But then saying that we all know how these comedians at these award shows like to push the boundaries, Rock has no filter plus Smith is a loose cannon. So whether alcohol was involved aswell ... Most likely.

[UserSince2005]

It wasnt set up, Chris Rock was in complete shock following the incident, he could barely get his script out. if it was planned he'd get back on track much fast and brushed it off with a good joke.
Also I dont believe Will Smith is a good enough actor for this to be staged.

[Alf]

1508421983838646272

[Jordan.]

Can't stand Smith. Completely unacceptable what he did and I can't believe he was allowed to remain in the building. His later "god needs me to protect people" speech was another nauseating slap in the face.

[Tony Montana]

I doubt it was staged. The Oscars might do a lot of crazy things for ratings and attention, but engineering assault on live television is too far, even they wouldn't stoop that low, and I doubt Smith or Rock would agree to such a stunt. Any celebrity with honour and dignity wouldn't dare participate in something like that. Although the Academy must be secretly loving the attention this has brought them. The last big incident at the Oscars to my knowledge was the whole Moonlight/La La Land Best Picture mix up which was 5 years ago. Nothing major has happened since then unless I'm forgetting something. And at the end of the day it isn't the Oscars without some drama.

As for the incident itself, both were in the wrong. Rock shouldn't have made that joke considering him and Jada aren't friends atm. He made jokes about her and Will back when he was hosting the 2016 Oscars. There's a time and place and last night's Oscars wasn't it. He should've known it wasn't gonna go down well with either of them. But Will should've kept his cool, be the bigger person and dealt with it privately. Assaulting him on national television was not a smart thing to do. This pretty much overshadowed his own Best Actor Oscar win.

[Niamh.]

1508421983838646272Why on Earth would an actor as big as Will Smith be the one to stage something like this though and potentially sabotage his career, his Oscar and his golden reputation, that's the bit that doesn't make the theory make any sense.

[Alf]

Why on Earth would an actor as big as Will Smith be the one to stage something like this though and potentially sabotage his career, his Oscar and his golden reputation, that's the bit that doesn't make the theory make any sense.£

Those big houses and lifestyles ain't cheap.

[Niamh.]

And to add, what Tony said about this altercation now completely overshadowing his winning the Oscar, there's no way he did this on purpose and wanted to have people talking about it instead of how wonderful he is and his Oscar win

[Niamh.]

£

Those big houses and lifestyles ain't cheap.He's already worth a fortune, he hardly needs to pull a stunt to make cash, he's one of the highest earning actors around

[Swan]

The Smith Clan are pretty easy targets to take the piss out of - Will and Jada named their kids Willow and Jaden :joker: it's funny how they tried to be a Hollywood Family when Will's the only one with any talent :hehe:

The Smith's are a bore for the most part now. Yes Will carries most of the talent, but Jada wasn't a bad actress many moon's ago. Also Jaden was a good child actor. He was pretty good In the Pursuit of Happiness, and decent enough in The Karate Kid remake. As for Willow, i remember she had that annoying whipping hair song about 10 years ago, not sure if she's done anything since.

[bots]

the only aspect that makes me think it could be staged is the fact that Smith got up there all angry and then slapped the guy. Surely it should have been a punch

[UserSince2005]

Chris Rock should never have made such a personal ‘joke’, and Will shouldn’t have hit him but let his displeasure be known AFTER the show, both to Chris and the media.

From what I understand of how it works in America... unless it's caused serious injury, it's up to the victim whether or not to pursue charges with the police, if they don't want to pursue it then the police won't pursue it. In the UK the police can decide to pursue it whether the victim wants to or not. Have to say in this case I doubt they would though, due to no injury being caused and there being a provokation. (That's not an excuse for getting violent but it would make a difference here, a totally unprovoked assault is always going to be concerning to the police).

Why would anyone have a vested interest in Will Smith slapping Chris Rock? You couldn't even use it as a "racism false flag".

[user104658]

Not everything is a conspiracy Alf.

The only "conspiracy" in this is that I think it's really got more to do with Will and Jada's apparent issues of the last couple of years, and very little to do with poor Chris Rock's rubbish G.I. Jane joke. Caught in the crossfire of some unrelated frustrations, IMO.

Haven’t read through the hundreds of replies sooooo


Here’s my take on things .. so far


Will was smiling until either the penny dropped or until sees how crushed his wife was ..

It’s a complex scenario

Wrong to make a joke at the poor woman’s expense

Wrong to slap him

Did Chris Rock know about her having Alopecia ..

The other complication is she’s apparently had loads of lovers with his approval sooool

Alopecia is not a deadly disease though, it fundamentally affects a persons self esteem, so in that regard Will completely over reacted. On the other hand, it's not really good form to undermine an individuals self esteem in front of a live world wide audience.

I just find the whole thing quite bizarre and then to see Will having a great time at the after party afterward is weird. It's like he has no self awareness at all

[GoldHeart]

Yeah by sounds of it the joke was insensitive , wonder if Chris Rock knew about Jada's condition?.

It's ashame Will Smith lashed out the way he did , he could have handled it better.

He should have just said to Rock " listen man that joke wasn't funny " or something along the lines of " you've crossed the line there". And he could have made Rock feel bad about what he said. He should have just used his words and stayed calm .

But by getting angry and throwing his hands , it's made him look like a loose cannon with a short fuse. And Rock probably enjoyed winding him up despite being taken aback by the slap .

I did wonder if it was staged ,but it seems like it was real as both reactions of Smith & Rock seem like genuine anger & amazement.

Like I said nobody is talking about the actual Oscars, they're more focused on will Smith's outburst. Which is why I initially thought this was some publicity stunt , now I think it's real.

But this year's Oscars will be remembered for a silly joke that Chris Rock made, and Will Smith slapping him on stage.

[GoldHeart]

can you imagine if a white actor hit him?

What on earth has that got to do with anything, once again you're making this into something it ISN'T.

But what I will say is if a comedian from across the pond made the same joke re : Will Smith's wife ie Ricky Gervais ,then I think more people would dislike the comedian.

As I've noticed Americans look after their own ,but when a British comedian goes over there and pokes fun / makes risque jokes, then it's frowned upon alot more .And they seem to resent it.

If you or I had have walked up to a TV show host on a live broadcast and slapped them in the face, we would have been taken to the floor and handcuffed immediately. Mr Smith just casually went about is business and picked up an award as though nothing had just happened.

We wouldn't have been partying afterwards like Mr Smith was either. We'd have been locked up in a jail cell.

I've seen a lot of people say that if Will hadn't done that no one would even have remembered the joke 5 minutes later and it's so true, a lot of people either wouldn't have got it because they hadn't heard of GI Jane or would have just thought it was because Jada shaved her head as a style choice and it was a pretty tame and not that funny a joke (me, I had to Google what was offensive about it) I mean if Chris genuinely didn't know about her condition either he must have been really confused because it was really light in that case. And tbh if you look at Chris reaction it would lean more on the side of him not knowing because he did seem really confused about why Will got so angry

As a side note, Jada looked gorgeous with shaved head, it would never have occurred to me that she shaved because of a condition, I would have just thought it was a style choice

The thing is Niamh ,yes Chris Rock might not have known about Jada's condition ..but at the same time the joke was a silly one. And even if it was a style choice ( which plenty do just decide to shave their hair) why did he feel the need to comment on her hair.

But Will Smith should never have lashed out in violence. He could have just used his words back. Be smart & not used his hands. He could have just said he didn't find the joke funny,and mentioned Jada's condition. Then I think Rock would have felt bad & maybe even apologised,who knows.

Chris Rock is fortunate it wasn't cancer & chemotherapy
Jada was going through. Thankfully alopecia isn't life threatening,but people will still be conscious and it's still a sensitive personal thing.

[Alf]

I keep changing my mind whether this was a set up or not.

The thing that makes me think it was a set up was Chris Rock leaning slightly forward and the way his hands stay behind his back. Normally it's instinct to protect yourself with your hands when someone is coming at you like that.

The joke was fine. The audience were laughing and that was Chris Rocks job.

its being blown up out of all proportion, she looked great, GI Jane looked great, he wasn't comparing her to anything or anyone ugly, people are now saying she has a disability....its a condition folks, an auto immune condition and the body can learn to deal with it and people with the condition can have their hair grow back, I think his reaction was well OTT and nobody should be able to walk on stage like that and assault another person and get away with it, he should have been asked to leave on the night

[GoldHeart]

If someone hits you or if you feel threatened,then of course the nature reaction is to put your hands up ,so yeah I'm perplexed at Chris Rock's posture. It's possible he just wanted to let Will Smith get his anger out,but still it's odd that his hands looked tied behind his back :huh:. Even if you don't fight back you still try to guard yourself.

This is an extreme example but even when someone gets beaten with a weapon, their natural instinct is to protect their head & face with their hands. It might not do you any good... and just get you more battered & bruised with broken hands,but that's still your first reaction :shrug:.

so the hit squad are going to have to get smallett at home now

[Niamh.]

I keep changing my mind whether this was a set up or not.

The thing that makes me think it was a set up was Chris Rock leaning slightly forward and the way his hands stay behind his back. Normally it's instinct to protect yourself with your hands when someone is coming at you like that.I don't think he really thought Will was going to hit him though, he looked really confused about what was going on which would make total sense if he didn't know about her medical condition because in that case the joke was really mild

[Niamh.]

The more I see the actual slap the more fake it looks to me [emoji23]But why on Earth would will agree to stage something like that, it doesn't benefit him in any way, he's already one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and has a great reputation, he's already popular enough, all this "stunt" would (and has) is damage his stock

This was from the 2016 (I think) Oscars

So there is a bit of history.

To be "fair" to William ... his issue wasn't that it was a joke about alopecia, his issue was that it was a joke about his wife. He didn't say "Keep the word alopecia out ya ****in' MOUTH!"

His joke was supposedly aimed at a rock band’s bassist who had a shaved head ( no suggestion that the guy had alopecia )

i think us scots can't compute that someone would get angry and then basically waft hot air at their target rather than punch them :laugh:

[user104658]

Slapping is calculated - it can cause as much immediate pain as a punch but is highly unlikely to cause lasting injury (bruising, fractures, actual head injuries). Punching someone is (physically) highly risky and could end up resulting in heavy charges like ABH or even GBH - a slap (unless it's a VERY hefty slap) is only going to be considered a minor assault.

Also high risk of self-injury with a closed fist punch.

There was an horrendous misjudgment.. by both guys .

I would expect the popularity of both to fluctuate dramatically..

I expected Chris Rock to lose millions of fans .. those horrified by the insensitivity/ cruelty and also the millions of devout Will Smith fans

Maybe Will Smith will lose millions but crazily gain millions of people who loved how he jumped to his wife’s defence.

It’s a complex moral situation

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProMr Rock did his job what he was hired for and paid to do.

That's like you going to work, doing your job and then some outsider telling you that you made a horrendous misjudgement. You'd think to yourself, "Sorry? What are you talking about? I did nothing wrong, I just got on with my work"


I once had a job were I earned less money than Duncan Goodhew's barber.

That was a joke about a bald person there.

That so called 'reporter' had prankster troll vibes written all over him,doubt he was a genuine interviewer. He tried to invade Smith's personal space , and It was only a tap on the cheek that Smith gave him. It was hardly a proper slap.

I think it may have been staged.

Well in that split second if you feel someone is invading your personal space what do you do ? . He already accepted a kiss/ peck greeting on the cheek from this random bloke ,yet he still tried to push it further with Will Smith. I've seen that video and you can hear Smith saying " what is wrong with you ".

Just supposing this reporter guy tried this with someone like Scarlett Johansson, wouldn't she be in her every right to push him away or slap him for being inappropriate ?.

It seems some people think it's ok to grab & touch celebrities like they own them or something.

He was paid to be funny - he went too far .

People do make mistakes ‘doing’ their jobs and usually pay for it in one way or another .

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProNo, he wasn't paid to be funny. He was hired to present the Oscars on the basis that he's good at his job as an entertainer.

Sue Perkins has done similar jobs and I didn't appreciate her jokes but I didn't want her physically attacked for telling a joke I personally didn't like.

The audience was laughing, including Will Smith, at Chris Rocks act so they seemed satisfied with the jokes he told.

Telling jokes is a legal activity and until the day comes that it's not then Chris Rock did nothing wrong.

If you don't like jokes then change the law and make telling jokes a crime.
