Also Chris Rock is probably not even aware of Jada's condition.

She got robbed for cinematography and Power of Dog's only real competition should have been West Side Story and Drive My Car.

Oh no, there's like 6 different workshops and committees that joke has to go through and each one was filled with old white dudes who got that reference.

I think it's quite racist to assume all black people (and other BIPOCS for that matter) would be in favor of violence over a joke. I'd like you to retract that comment.

Campion has hardly covered herself in glory during this awards season but Power of the Dog is a well-crafted movie (great to look at/listen to if nothing else). pretty happy it didn't win best picture though.

Can you explain why it owned? The host always ribs on the guests since the dawn of time, and this joke was so tame and forgetful and irrelevant to anything going on. Nobody would have even remembered it 2 seconds later if Smith hadn't have made it a big deal. Now it's actually become a thing.

Why is Smith overreacting to a joke such a great thing? He just looks like a loser and a baby. And his reaction has made it into a story, like the opposite of his intent?

The slap itself was a thing of beauty. However the assumption that violence is "just black culture" is deeply racist.

Will Smith is a black Gen Xer from Philadelphia - a slap as just being the purest form of insult/disrespect and not really seen as "assault" was definitely ingrained in me as a black Gen Xer from Detroit. I think that's what the poster is kind of referencing. It might have changed in later generations, which I can't speak too - but that's how it was shown to at least my circles growing up.

Your framing is off. Upper-class white culture is very violent, it just manifests in more acceptable social forms that allows them to not get their hands dirty. Will Smith is definitely legendary for doing this on their stage.

A slap for all people is a regular sign of disrespect, definitely isn't just for black americans of a certain generation. Also Uncle Phil in that video is doing the universal parental cuff around the ear, def not specific to race either

In this incident Will Smith is a rich person in an event designed for rich people to congratulate one another, slapping another rich person. Also there are no repercussions, because he's rich

Most men don't get repercussions for slapping another man except maybe being punched back, unless they do it at work or something.

The fact remains that regular schmos like you and I would get thrown out of an event for starting a physical altercation. Not Saint Will though, oh no. It was okay for him to do it because his feelings were hurt ;_;

About one month after I moved here a random dude punched me in the side of the head in center city. I yelled at him but he had already kind of rapidly staggered off and crossed the street. Never been slapped though

If Chris wanted/wants any retribution, he needed to act differently once he saw Will was on the warpath and after the slap. He didn't try to defuse or anything and was pretty bold in assuming that Will Smith of all people was going to play along with his joke after Jada's reaction. This is hilarious though, both these guys are pricks. This is the type of Oscars Discourse that I want from the internet.
