[Samwise]

Not too much wrong with that list, which is a good change for the oscars. No Country for Old men and There will be blood were fantastic.

 

[Game_Breaker]

Most entertaining thing at the Oscars
Will Smith also won Best Actor after that

 

[horrie hastings]

Complete dialogue from todays oscars

Will Smith Slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars After Comedian Made ‘G.I. Jane’ Joke About Jada Pinkett

Following the shocking incident, Will Smith won the Best Actor award for his performance in 'King Richard.' He apologized to the Academy in his speech.

[Chippy73]

Yeh this wasn't a bit....Smith was fair dinkum filthy.

 

[Knight76]

Big props to Chris Rock, stood their and took it, kept his arms behind his back the whole time and tried to carry on. Amazing restraint.

Will Smith on the other hand, what an epic flog.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Will Smith was laughing along.
Nek minnit…

Think his career just ended tonight.

 

[betcats]

Surely smacking Chris Rock across the chops isnt career ending, they should give him another award for that.

The Broncos are preparing a contract for Will Smith as we speak

 

[The Lounge Lizard]

Best television viewing since the bout between Ron Casey and Normie Rowe on the Mike Walsh Show (I think).

 

[Iamback]

Just trying to drum up publicity

 

[Knight76]

Will Smith was laughing along.
Nek minnit…

Think his career just ended tonight.

Yeah initially, but see JPS face, no laughing there, then ole Ali would have seen that and went nup, I'm gunna make a stand.

Seriously though,

Chris Rock, the joke, JPS has been very open on her hair loss issues and apparently from what I've read is embracing that journey and being bald. So the joke was no doubt made with that understanding in mind.

So to paint the picture, we have JPS out there publicly confronting it and being a leader for other women with this condition. Outwardly brave etc.

Yet, this reaction from W Smith must surely show a different side to what she puts out there publicly and there must be deep hurt there for Will to react that way.

Rock wouldn't have known that though and made the joke.

What a moment!

 

[nöyd]

Pity it wasn't Kevin Hart that got smacked

 

[Someone2]

Smith was laughing until he seen Jada’s eye roll

I’m surprised he didn’t send his stuntman up to do it.

Will Smith on the other hand, what an epic flog.

The Irony is he (Will Smith) was laughing at the joke, what a THUMB PRINT...

 

[horrie hastings]

Then we had this

 

[horrie hastings]

Will Smith was laughing along.

His acceptance speech when he won was painful, i was thinking WTF ?

On other Oscars moments,it was great to see Jane Campion win.

Sad to see Liza Minelli in the state she is in now but great to see Lady Ga Ga all class helping Liza out.

Yeah. Saw Liza. Coupled with the Phil Collins stuff I saw from UK, two legends doing poorly.
(Tenuous link - Phil won an Oscar for Tarzan soundtrack in 2000).

 

[Apey]

Chris Rock does have a very punchable face.
