It looks like the main focus of the Oscars was that scene, does anyone here tried to place bet in Oscars awards? I don't think there's too many people here are placing bets with the Oscards or probably was aware of the Oscars I am only aware of it because of what happened between Will Smith and Chris Rock.
I think that was really a slap and not staged and as you can see in Will Smith's Instagram account he publicly apologized to Chris and see his action unacceptable and inexcusable though I understand that he just get by his emotions.

He could have just talked it out with Chris Rock instead he assault the guy he lose a lot from these unfortunate events, even if the joke is in bad taste you don't assault a guy in front of millions, Chris Rock never saw it coming not even all of us, the Oscar should ban him from all events an attack on one comedian is an attack to all comedian he is a bad example he's been here for so many years, he should know how to react properly.
Yeah, but I guess he is just too emotional and doesn't want everyone including Chris Rock to make fun of Jada's predicament that's why he had to make that point, but it was during a live audience and no one anticipated it.
Everyone was surprised even the Network that they have to mute the mic and go on a break. And it seems that the people are divided, others are saying that it is an assault, while there are certain individuals taking Will Smith's side.

I agree. At first I was a little unsure of how I felt about it. I kind of thought Will Smith had some justification for doing so, but then thinking it over and hearing other peoples viewpoints around it, I've come to the conclusion that Will was completely in the wrong and needs to be punished accordingly. Apparently Chris Rock didn't know about the medical issue with Jada, and it truly was a tame joke and not like he was making fun of her. GI Jane was a bad ass, it would be different if she wasn't. It wasn't a good joke though, but Smith should have confronted him on his own terms not in public. Very embarrassing for the whole family.
I think Will Smith has a mental breakdown and mental health problem and we can't blame him if he snapped out but the good thing about it is that he admitted that he is wrong and he apologized to Chris Rock but still this is very controversial since it was done live and in front of everyone.

I think Will Smith has an anger management issue and his wife is in total command of him, he is laughing when Rock is cracking a joke but there's a big turnaround after he saw his wife and his laughter turns to anger, this is a big disgrace for Oscar they should take action and ask Smith to bring back the trophy he doesn't deserve it, he did not represent on what the Oscar stands for, they should have security on stand by on the next Oscar.
we don't know what's going on with their lives, so imo, let them resolve what needs to be resolved. and by the way, we will hear soon from the Academy if will smith has violated the Academy's code of conduct and what they will do if it has been proven that he did. remember, it was televised and so many viewers have seen this incident. are they going to punish him or just let it go. now, we are talking about this incident rather than the winners. lol
He should be punished it's everywhere now, people might think that Oscar is a weak organization and they condone violence and hatred he crossed the line of decency, he is the first one to do that in Oscar, which means he shows no respect to the Oscar if Oscar will not punish guy like this, then expect more scenario like this to happen in the future.

Sorry but he should have instantly been walked out of that arena. You know how many kids look up to these stars. Doing nothing condones this. Chris Rock is a comedian and everyone was getting roasted. Wierd Smith allows other dudes to tag his wife but wigs out over a joke.

Exactly mate! We have to accept that we have our own type of views that others don't share because of that facts that we have our own different choices and wants in every aspects of like including the movies. There are also times that we can meet some people that share the same view with us, but times like that are not too often. Let's just respect each other
Taking out sometime - sitting together with family and friends is always a fun. Even the boring movie becomes so thrilling that one feels excited that at least they spent some quality time with loved ones!
That surely depends on the movie if the whole squad or family likes it and not for the sake of bonding, I mean the movie will be much more interesting to see if the majority of the squad or family wants it so that a movie won't be boring to sit throughout.
I don't know about you, but I think that over the years in many films we have been prepared in some way, there are films that are so eloquent that there are some that predicted the way the world was going to act in the face of a pandemic, another movie in a war, there are even movies that make references to the fact that the world can become a very deadly virus that is with reference to zombies, and when reviewing some scientific facts they indicate that the most likely thing that can happen to the world it is a virus where people become something like zombies, I don't know but I think that in some way they have been warning us, it is not to be skeptical, but any event in reality is mere coincidence.
In another order of ideas, what happened to Will Smith do you think Hollywood will close the doors of the famous actor? I understand that when they want to get someone out of the way in Hollywood they don't skimp on taking action even if the person is very famous. I have always supported that they defend all kinds of aggression against a woman or a child, although the use of violence is the last resort, unfortunately sometimes it is necessary.

Did anything crazy or exciting happen at the Oscar’s, I hadn’t heard 
. What a wild event. I tuned in a couple times throughout the evening just to check in on some of the winners as I bet on a few of them (will smith winning included) but of course the slap heard round the world took the evening. What a crazy event ! Lol.

They copy/pasted Batman slapping Robin meme. So this is not a new meme template If I wasnt that lazy, I would have added text from Oscar into their speech bubbles
Yeah I know about that template but that's not the one I was referring to. This is one the memes using the new one If I wasnt that lazy, I would have added text from Oscar into their speech bubbles 
This was stages, because who would slap an opponent, when he talks bad about your wife? Straight punch, 1-2 combo or overhand is an answer in such situation. Not slapping.
Slapping a man is even more disrespectful than a straight punch. Also, real life fight looks nothing like a scene from a Hollywood movie, majority of people don't even know hot to throw a proper punch, let alone combos.While actors are ready to do just about anything to get extra attention (Jussie Smollet is perfect example) I don't think that this was staged. Physical violence + cursing while we know how prune Hollywood has become? I don't think that Will Smith and Chris Rock were that stupid. Will Smith's erratic behavior after that just confirms that something was off the other night.

When I read the news I thought it was a stunt to increase the ratings, but the more I watch and read about it the more I think that Will hit Chris Rock for real. This has to be probably the most bizarre Oscar thing I ever saw. The thing that really baffles me is how so many actors reacted to the incident by saying "oh he is from Philly, they are emotional ppl" or something along those lines, like wtf. I wonder what would happen if someone else hit Chris, someone like Mel Gibson who already has a bad rep.
Looking from a bright side, at least we got a new meme template

I think this was stages. They have done such things thousand times in movies. This was done on purpose, as Oscar ratings are low. Btw, their staging reminded me of a an old tv show parenting court
There, people (mostly black Americans) fight with their partners, when it turns out they cheated and father raised someone else child. Or celebrate when the kid is not their and they dont have to pay aliments. This was stages, because who would slap an opponent, when he talks bad about your wife? Straight punch, 1-2 combo or overhand is an answer in such situation. Not slapping.
Will Smith stood up for his wife. Yeah, right. And their couple say they have an open relationships and his wife now dates August Alsina, young guy. While being married. And Will accepts it. And he slapped Chris Rock for bad words. Why not slap a guy who does Wimoweh with his wife ?

Will smith punch Chris Rock right on Oscars.
I know this is off topic here but just wanted to update a bit. He was laughing at first I'm not sure what happen there. All of a sudden he just walk straight to Chris and this isn't a joke at all. Glad to see Chris didn't retaliate right on the stage. Will the Oscar invite someone like Smith after this?
I thought it was part of Chris Rock's presentation, however when the audio was turned off and censored in ABC's broadcast, I learn that it was a real slap. But I was still confused hehehe.
You ask will the academy invite someone like Will Smith after this? The answer would be they will certainly invite someone like Will Smith after this hehehe. It might pump the ratings.
Also, Coda for best picture is my only winning bet. I have learned that in betting on the Oscars we should wait until the last week, wait for those odds that have fallen from high to low because it might be the winner. Coda was 17.00 and fell to 2.00, the best supporting actor also was higher before it went down. There were also other categories where this occured.
It definitely doesn't look staged, but the only reason people think it could have been, was the fact that Will Smith has like 100 pounds on Chris Rock and he had the weakest slaps of all time, Chris didn't even take a step back, imagine how weak it must have been. So that is why some people considered it as a "warning slap and not a real one" versus some people said "it was a fake one".
I believe it was a real slap, but it wasn't like "I will knock you out" punch, it was just a gentlemen’s slap basically. Still the wrong party here is Will Smith, people can joke about whatever they want, that’s freedom of speech, you can joke, and then you could get cancelled for it if it is a bad joke and all, but you can't hit someone, physical violence in return of a joke? How could that even be compared.

Well it has become a big issue, all stand-up comedy actors are in danger of getting slapped and the perpetrator gets away with it, Will is preaching love when he received the award how can he be a preacher of love if he is that violent and the worse is the Oscar committee did not do anything and even gave Will Smith a standing ovation, Chris Rock should file an assault charge for this.
I couldn't watch the whole thing live because it was too late for me, but did this shit really happen?
...
I can't say whether it was staged or not. It seems real, especially considering the language and what happened later. Anyhow, it was a bad joke for my taste, but a physical assault, especially during a live broadcast, isn't acceptable either.
I'm not betting on the nominees for OSCARS 2022 but what happened above is totally unacceptable......

To be honest, from the bottom of my heart, I really understand what Will Smith feels when his beloved wife is made a joke by someone else, he is a great husband. He also certainly doesn't want the disease that his wife is currently suffering from to happen to his wife, what he shows is right and how a husband protects his wife's pride, even though society's view of it is wrong.
I didn't watch and I didn't place bet in Oscar awards but I heard what happened to Chris Rock and Will Smith, both of them are wrong. Chris Rock shouldn't make jokes about Smith's wife and Smith shouldn't hit him on a live TV and in front of other people he can just talk with him after that like a gentlemen.
I haven't seen any of the Oscars in their entirety but aren't dumb jokes (all the jokes ever made there) a traditional part of this event? And in all these years, Will Smith was the first to take it so seriously? I doubt that it was not staged. Today I saw a graph of the popularity of this event and judging by it, only three years ago it was 5 times more popular, probably the organizers are trying to somehow return the attention of the audience and come up with such things.
