Imho the slap was an inappropriate response to the Oscar joke heckling that gets served out every year, but the joke itself was pretty inappropriate also so who cares. Will Smith apologized and Chris Rock isn't gonna press charges, so its pretty much over and done with aside from the sick memes. The Academy will put out their results of their investigation in a couple weeks and probably choose the most tone deaf option, which will probably dominate another news cycle, but everyone will forget about this in a week otherwise

Ejection from the academy was, like, the only reasonable punishment the academy could have levied, so well played by Will Smith I guess.

Yeah this doesn't really hurt him, the academy has already lost a whole lot of its prestige over the past few years given the plummeting ratings for the oscars along with all of its (non-Will Smith related) fuckups, and what wins an oscar being so predictable that whole movies are crafted to an absolute tee based on pushing the exact buttons that get something a win. (Not that all those movies end up bad, just very predictable)

Yeah, I think a lot of Oscar politics basically revolve around picks that make rich old white liberals feel good about themselves (and letting them excuse themselves for supporting organizations and politicians that value rigid status quo above all else) and everyone has that figured out now

I do think part of this is that all the potential mid budget movies for adults just get expanded and made into prestige tv nowadays, so those stories do get made but don't hit the big screen
