Poll: Too much alcohol to blame, or marketing stunt to perk up near zero interest in the Oscars?

 The Oscars has been hit by the biggest scandal in its 94-year history after violence broke out on stage when Will Smith stormed up to host Chris Rock and slapped him for making a joke about his wife's hair just minutes before the crowning moment of his career when he won Best Actor.

There are already calls for the star, 53, to be stripped of the award hours after becoming only the fifth black actor in history to collect the biggest prize in Hollywood for his portrayal of Richard Williams, the father who raised tennis champions Venus and Serena Williams, in 'King Richard'.

In a rambling acceptance speech a sobbing Smith admitted that 'love makes you do crazy things' - but tellingly failed to apologise to Rock for his assault, only apologising to Academy and his fellow nominees. Rock has told LAPD he will not press charges.

  3. I saw what kind of racist "King Richard" was when I was in Melbourne for the 08 Australian Open. Because a couple matches went way over their anticipated time, officials asked Serena if she would play in the No. 2 court instead of Centre Court. The slurs and insults that poured out of the Williams' camp from pops were disgusting. To this day I'm a Williams sister hater, all of them can FOAD.

  5. You can take the dindu out of the hood, but you can't take the hood outta the dindu. But then again, I don't give a shit.

  6. I don't think this was anything more than a publicity stunt. The oscars ratings have been tanking for several years. Hollywood is arrogant enough to believe they can insult half of the population and get away with it, this hubris is finally catching up with them. Plus, Will Smith's movie (who he won the award) is not doing as well as expected. The hopes are that people will have interest now. And, who really believes anything politicians (both sides), the media and hollywood tells you? We're being played again.....

  10. What was it we used to say after 'fake' punching the air in front of the face of another kid?
    "Made you look".

  11. Real men don't slap other men. They punch them.

    Nothing to see here, move along.

  12. Wasn't even as funny as the jokes about her cheating in him.

    Check out Bas Rutten if you want to see how real men slap.

  13. The real joke is that as mad as Will Smith supposedly was, the best he could manage was a slap that was immediately laughed about by Chris Rock. If Smith was anything more than the tough guy actor he plays, Rock would have been picking himself up off the floor....after a couple minutes. Weak, Will. Weak.

  14. So less than 10 million people were watching, did it really happen? Then today I read that (a) Smith is in an open marriage, where his wife reportedly speaks publicly about her extramarital couplings, sometimes with Smith sitting right there, and (b) here allopecia is due to having corn rows for too long, too tight - a common outcome for people who indulge the hairstyle.

    So: Is Will really worried about his wife's name being in another man's mouth? Or is he just tired of being horned publicly? Just sayin'

  16. So, willy is perfectly OK with someone railing that ugly twat he calls a wife but making a joke at her expense is over the line? Bad news, willyboy, YOU are the joke here.

  17. A not inconsiderable number of Common Core math whizzes overlook that divorcing Jada would cost Will something around $500M.
    Compared to that kind of pain, slapping yappy classless emcee was probably downright pleasant.
