Will Smith made this a million times worse for himself in that everyone would've forgotten the joke in 5 seconds but now everyone is gonna be making fun of him and Jada.

All he had to do was wait until the afterparty to slap Chris Rock.

This is the correct take. Will Smith has an army of publicists and "opinion makers" ready to jump to Jada's defense and ruin Chris Rock's remaining career if he makes the call. Sit there, shut up, move on. You're sitting in the front row my man. Jack Nicholson got 3 decades of jokes about alcohol/drug use and didn't give a single poo poo publicly.

Also, you and your wife are both famous and rich as hell for playing glorified pretend. Get some humility.

Being rich and famous doesn't mean you're exempt from emotional trauma. Also, have you considered that if there were no slap, there would be no will smith/chris rock jojo memes?

The slap itself I understand, like in a vacuum I get that sometimes you have to slap somebody.

The part I'm having a hard time with is how meticulous and calculated Will Smith has been for 25+ years in building himself and his career up to that moment, and then to do that when you're on the doorstep of the crowning achievement you've worked so hard for. It's just bizarre that it happened on that night, at that moment.

Everyone else who had to participate in the Oscars on any level is lucky this happened because it made it so no one noticed what an absolute goddamn disaster it was otherwise. In like the first 15 minutes of this three hour ceremony one of the hosts was forced to do an incredibly cringeworthy bit where she lined up a bunch of dudes on the stage to talk about how badly she wants to gently caress them, mentioned the star of Euphoria and added "He's legal.", and then proceeded to grope the next two presenters who came out. And the bit went on for soooo long. I'm not even going to specify, because why bother, but Amy Schumer. Total loving shitshow.

Regina Hall was doing the groping. Amy Schumer was there to embarrass herself in other ways. Woe be to poor Wanda Sykes.

He got a bunch of celebs coming over to cheer him up immediately afterwards then won the biggest award of his career to a standing ovation so probably not, though the fact that he made it so Jada bald jokes will be en vogue for years is pretty funny

I thought it was really bizarre that they made the memorial segment into an awkward high school choir routine. People coming out to talk about some of the deceased was a nice touch and they should have something more like that.

I didn't watch the Oscars, yet via cultural osmosis I was forced to learn about the slap heard round the world.

Except it kind of seems like not a big deal at all? Chris Rock made a lovely joke about Will Smith's wife, Will Smith got justifiably pissed off and slapped (not punched, slapped) Chris Rock and told him to shut the gently caress up, and that's it. End of story.

"Man momentarily loses emotional control in a very minor way after another man unintentionally makes a verbal comment that goes to far" isn't exactly a world changing event.

The thing is, it's THE OSCARS! WHEN HOLLYWOOD COMES OUT TO PARTY! It's supposed to be the most "glitz and glam" night of the year for Hollywood. Someone walking up and slapping someone else during it just isn't "supposed to happen". Which is dumb, but also why it's so shocking to people. The nice, pretty people of Hollywood got dressed up all fancy, and then one of them smacked another one of them on stage. Like, he got out of the audience, up on stage, and just smacked him. Which is not, sorry for borrowing a phrase, "part of the plan".

As someone else said, if this had happened at the after party, and we heard stories about it, maybe even seen a sort of blurry video that we were still pretty drat sure was Will Smith and Chris Rock, no one would care. "Oh, looks like Smith and Rock got into it at the after party because of that joke. That's kinda funny." And then that's it. But instead it broke the rules. It happened during the big event, when everyone is supposed to be jerking each other off, but in a fancy, clean way.

Whatever you think of the use of violence, the way it was done is kind of amazing, because it brought the entertainment world to a halt.

fake edit: It's like the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake Super Bowl thing. Sure, we've all seen someone topless before. But how it happened is what's making everyone lose their minds. You can't just remove context like that.

real edit:
