    I knew about Jada's condition, and I am totally out of the loop on celebrity news. I find it hard to believe that Chris Rock didn't know. And even if he didn't know the medical issue, just making fun of someone's appearance is cheap humor that is beneath him.

    But let's talk about the real monster here: the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences. Surely they vetted Chris Rock's material for the show. They also went ahead and let Will Smith stick around and collect his Oscar, essentially condoning his actions and sending the message that "if you are a big enough star, the rules don't apply to you".

    I don't agree with Will Smith's actions, but at least I understand the motivation of trying to do right by your family. The Oscars don't have that excuse. They were just spineless.

      Being just a casual fan I used to like Will Smith until now.

      Makes me think he's not as nice and especially-reserved as most of his characters are.

      He should have just laughed it off and moved on.

      I don't like him anymore

      Seems like a Hollywood produced bully

        Will Smith smiling, dancing, and singing, having a great time after slapping Chris Rock…



        Yeah, he was really shook up after the events.

        This tells me one thing, and one thing only…Chris Rock’s joke was not a big deal, but the Smith made it a big deal, and went all dramatic outta nothing. But they sure partied the night away.

        Can’t stand the Smiths.

          Agreed 100%.

          I’m cancelling Will Smith. I will no longer watch his movies. Nothing to say about Jada, never cared for her. I can’t even recall one single movie of hers right now.

                It was a tense evening all around. I heard they had to restrain J.K. Simmons from rushing the stage when the ladies joked about him being Timothée Chalamet after the ravages of Covid.

                  You read it before I deleted it, lol.

                  It was a passive-aggressive post. No need to elevate Chris Rock either…

                    Didn't he kill somebody because of a bad drug deal ?

                    Brushed under the table by his then current record company.

                    If so, guessing you'll never hear from me again

                      This isn't to scold or dismiss, but I am trying to interject some reality.

                      There are a ton of threads on this board where people try to talk about the things we presumably hang around here to discuss and they have just a few....or sometimes zero responses. And this, for lack of a better word tawdriness...that every boring person in my life is already "blah, blah, blah"-ing about gets 6 pages? No one has any insight into this. No one has said anything that makes any single person take pause. Yet on and on and on.

                      Let's get excited about some toys or popular culture from back in the day. I've already heard my neighbor's cousin's cat's best friend's opinion on this. And so have all of you. Wake up. You have less time left to live than you think you do.

                          You are right. But I was bored and started the thread, lol.

                          The most unjust thing about the whole fiasco?

                            I get it, Hector. We've all had to get tangled in the wire because it's out there. And see....I didn't know that about "Dune". I feel ripped off for not knowing that!

                              I'm a baldy and have no prob with it... same with my bros --- who've never found a problem with finding gals that don't care.

                              My Mama gave us these wonderful genes

                              On the other hand one of my cousins had to go to a physiatrist when his hair started thinning … Solution, an incredibly horrible rug

                              Felt so bad for him...

                              Just shave it all off --- women kinda like that now-a-days

                                The Oscars are a joke.

                                For the last few years, they distribute Oscars to all the movies, just to be politically correct.

                                Remember back in the day when one movie would get 10-11 Oscars, including Best Picture? That was because it was the best movie, period.

                                How in the world did Dune not win Best Picture? It was by far the most dominant movie at the Academy Awards.
