it was a pretty drat tasteless joke in the firstplace, it being a reference so old that most people just won't get it at all without googling it adds a layer of cringe.

There was something that felt really wierd about Lady Gaga saying 'are you ready to introduce best picture'

It's like she was talking to someone at a care home

Personally I think it's sweet how kind Lady Gaga is towards the elderly. I watched a 60 Minutes segment of that show she did with Tony Bennett, poor guy has Alzheimers real bad but she helped him have one last moment in the spotlight.

if you are the person assaulted and you don't press charges, that's it, there is no case

quote:

A full statement from the Los Angeles Police Department reads: “LAPD investigative entities are aware of an incident between two individuals during the Academy Awards program. The incident involved one individual slapping another. The individual involved has declined to file a police report. If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report.”

I heard someone of the forum saying that Chris Rock made that joke before the awards.
So everybody probably laughed at it out of politeness, until they looked it up on their phones.

At least chris rock's most viewed video on youtube will be him being slapped instead of him telling black people to be polite to the police.

Like would it be the worst thing if the new rule was it’s okay to slap the host of the Oscars? Like they pick a new host and they have to start training for fight night. Adds a little excitement imho

obviously you’d need some rules, like if it’s an old person hosting only other old people are allowed to rush the host, if it’s a kid host, only kids, like I’m not saying it should be a bloodbath, I just think why not add a fresh element to a stuffy show that’s lagging in ratings?

Everyone gets a little armband for their weight class/age/combat abilities. Anyone in the same class you can just go to town on.

If Zack Snyder wanted to make headlines, he should use his bro physique to suplex someone.
