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

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.

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:.

Meanwhile, the organizers of the Oscars

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.]

Some like on Ch5HD 9:15AM Live debate

Even LBC 10AM Live Left Winger

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

Not necessarily. There was millions of witnesses who can call the cops, it's all on film, the cops can see it for themselves. Arrest the guy for assault, what they waiting for?
