Oscar for what, Biggest Tantrum ever Televised around the Whole World? Seriously, seeing men protecting the honor of their wives with violence on live TV is something that I'd expect from trashy Italian mid-afternoon scripted talk shows, not one of the biggest and most important award ceremonies ever.
Chris Rock's joke was dumb, unfunny and in poor taste, but 1) it's not like stuff like that never happened before 2) that doesn't excuse Smith to act like a caveman and scream from the top of his lungs instead of, you know, acting civilized or targeting Rock with another joke of his own. Acting that way also gives ammo to the "you can't say anything anymore" crowd on top of everything else.
"Effective Altruism" is just another bunch of horsesh*t.I'm still unconvinced it wasn't staged. It was all just too... convenient. Like, we all know the Oscars have been dealing with declining viewership and this kind of spectacle fits the bell quite perfectly. Then Rock rolled with it way too well. Plus, if you're going to tell me "this man is the best at acting" then, well, it's pretty easy for me to believe that he's... acting.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.I am of two minds. On one hand Chris' joke was offensive, dumb and should not have been made. On the other Will legit assaulted the man.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadPersonally, I’m convinced that the Oscars would be infinitely better if hosted by the Muppets.
It's time to light the lights,
It's time to meet the Muppets on the #Oscars tonight.
It's time to put on makeup,
It's time to dress up right,
It's time to raise the curtain on the Oscars tonight!

I would like to see that and it wouldn't be to weird. I mean after all Donald Duck once co-hosted the Oscars.

x5 I’ve actually put a bit of thought how this would work.
- We open with the Muppets doing their classic theme song, except it’s the version I quoted above.
- then we go to Kermit, the MC of the night who welcomes us to the Muppets Take the Oscars and introducing any potential special guest star(s),(And maybe some sort of gag where scooter or Fozzie runs in telling Kermit about something going wrong.)
- Then we would go into a quick sketch of some type. Maybe a fozzie comedy routine?
- once we get into the awards, they would be presented by different Muppets, interspersed with quick sketches, a musical number or two, and potentially some sort of “backstage plot” of the Muppets trying to hold everything together as things go wrong.
- So Miss Piggy might do best leading actress, Rowlf does best original score, Gonzo does best visual effects, Uncle Deadly on best costume design, etc.
- Statler and Waldorf would be in the balcony, heckling.
And I just realized that I just basically turned it into an episode of The Muppet Show.

Not sure about that? I've mostly seen people making fun of Will with Chris being acknowledged as being a good sport for not taking it personally.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Said documentary has been criticized for apparently mocking black women more than actually sympathizing with them. I've not seen it, so I can't say if the criticisms hold water, but Rock has had a lot of blowback in recent years for being a misogynist and using black women as the butt of jokes. There's a reason he's one of the loudest "cancel culture is killing comedy" morons.
Not a good example. Gervais is a genuinely rotten human being. Smacking him would be like smacking Richard Spencer.
I've seen the opposite. I've seen people cheering on Smith and calling Rock a misogynist asshole.

This is why I shouldn't look up gossip first thing in the morning, I kept misreading Amy Schumer as Amy Poehler.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.
