The slap

the oscars are not about rewarding the best of each year anymore.

about the slap, Alan Ritchson, the actor who plays Jack Reacher, said it very well:

hollywood is sick.

I know next to nothing about fighting but that looked more like a punch from the vids I was seeing all over the place yesterday!

Nah it was a slap, if it was a proper punch i don’t think Chris would’ve just laughed it off

Also, I’d like to know why on Earth ‘No Way Home’ wasn’t nominated for ‘Best Picture’ when it practically saved their jobs and made more money than everything else nominated

100% agree 🕷

Ok, there is a time delay on ALL live TV…. It is between 15 seconds to 60 seconds… The reason is so they avoid fines and potential loss of broadcast license for things such as: (Wardrobe Malfunction, Sexually explicit Acts, The finger, Vulgar Language and ACTS OF VIOLENCE).

In other words and simply, THEY WANTED US TO SEE IT! The oscars and actors in general have been losing ratings and celebrity status. This was staged period, had they not wanted us to see it they would simply have inserted a commercial. It worked, people are talking about them and it giving them what they want ATTENTION.

So that is all you need to know. We saw it because they wanted us to see it…

Now lets go in more detail, What man would slap another for insulting his wife? None I know they would closed fist deck his ass. But if you freeze frame the slap it is clear Chris was leaning in for it and then when it came it was a push slap not meant to hurt just move, but the bigger tell was Will walking away smiling breaking character.

And out this morning…… Chris Rocks new Comedy tour that had been struggling to sell tickets, well its now the hottest ticket in town and last night when fans got on Will, Chris told them no no no no …… And there folks you know why the fake slap, just like all the buzz or “staged events” when someone in politics rights a book…. It is all about the money honey.

That slap was motivated by an extremely misguided sense of “defending his wife’s honor” but it just made him seem even more pathetic

@FallenOmegaStar, 100% agree, honestly looking at all the pieces, his and his wife’s reaction to the joke, and the fact that she openly cheated on him, it makes me think that his wife could be a narcissist, i say this having seen in person what a narcissistic relationship can do to a person, i can understand how most people would see his reaction as pathetic, but misguided, like you said, is way more appropriate, watching that scene made me think that in Will’s eyes his wife can do no wrong and he has to protect her at all cost

Ok, there is a time delay on ALL live TV…. It is between 15 seconds to 60 seconds … In other words and simply, THEY WANTED US TO SEE IT! … This was staged period

Ok, having been on the set of a live TV show before i can definitely say that:

1) The time delay is 5 seconds, it’s literally just enough time to beep out a bad word or cut to a different camera angle so that a costume fail doesn’t turn into tits galore

2) OF COURSE THEY WANTED US TO SEE IT! And i’ll explain exactly how this was staged: First thing you need to know is that behined any live television, and even non-live reality TV, there is a team of produces, directors, writers, and most importantly psychologist, running the show, these people have 2 jobs that go hand in hand, come up with a basic story board, the tone of the show, do they want it to send a message, ecc, and to make this story board run as smoothly as possible they need to know every guests personality inside out, and i can guaran-fucking-tee you that 99% of the time if they want a reaction they’ll get that reaction, it was staged, but it was staged by the behind the scenes staff, Will, Jada, and Chris were in the dark and just reacting the way the staff expected them too, maybe Chris knew a little more than Will and Jada, but i’m pretty sure he was no where near 100% aware of the plan

@Mustangride1, i’ve never worked in news media, but i can belive that the delay would be longer, especially in situations where someone is armed so as to not have graphic content on live TV, but in live entertainment it isn’t really necessary to have such a long delay, i calculatede it myself backstage during a show while watching the live broadcast at the same time, the sound from the TV came about 5 seconds after the sound from the studion

Will Smith banned from the Oscars for 10 years over Chris Rock slap

‘I accept and respect the Academy’s decision,’ Smith said in a statement

And what was that decision?

The motion picture academy on Friday banned Will Smith from attending the Oscars or any other academy event for 10 years following his slap of Chris Rock at the Academy Awards.

In-Person and virtually.

The academy’s statement did not address whether Smith could be nominated for Oscars during his 10-year ban. Nor did it take any action to revoke Smith’s Academy Award.

The academy has not revoked Oscars from expelled members Harvey Weinstein or Roman Polanski.

So he will keep his Oscar, and can be nominated for future awards.  Now if the academy members vote to accept the nomination to where he is one of the finalists, yet alone winning…. he will not be allowed to accept it in-person/virtually, but he can still WIN.
