94th Academy Awards Discussion Thread | WHAT JUST HAPPENED

Is it too late to bring Chris Rock out to present Best Actor?

I guess if this moment had to happen, it's good that it did now when voting is all locked up and the winners are literally being announced cause if Smith pulled this at the Golden Globes this likely would have hurt his chances even for a nomination. I'm curious how the audience is going to react when his name is called now.

If someone hit Ricky Gervais for making a tasteless joke, his fans would just accuse that person of either being a triggered snowflake or a pedophile.

Here's the full bit.

Rock's joke wasn't funny whatsoever. That whole bit was terrible look for both of them.

Ehhh...they both made ass out of themselves. Best thing Will could do is apologize. But what a fool for taking what should be an iconic night in his career and doing that. 

[filmlover]

On one hand, his win is not at all going to be the top story about him tonight.

 

On the other, Academy Award Winner Will Smith hell yeah!

The slap has over 25M views in the past 30 minutes across different uploads

To be fair, it's now an iconic night of his career for sure. First paragraph in his obituary.

"Richard Williams was fierce defender of his family" That's punchline there ....

[WittyUsername]

This is so uncomfortable. 

[AJG]

Will Smith for President.
 

Smacking someone across the face and winning an Oscar 30 minutes later is WILD.

[Chaz]

Crazy Scientology ass 

[excel1]

The only comparison to this is Kanye taking the mic from Taylor Swift. Yeezy recovered just fine.

[baumer]

Holy shit Will, you're a fucking actor.  Take your award and go sit down.

Best Oscars in years tbh, glad I decided to pay attention this year

[grim22]

This last hour of the telecast has been bonkers. I have no idea who won anything after the slap till now. 

 

This Will Smith speech has been.... Something for sure.
