Did not see the Oscars nights ago. Knew my movies would not at all be nominated. Had no idea what CODA even was. The title seems to riff from an old On Location Undergrads from 1995. It's not.
Encanto winning for best animated movie over my choice was close enough. But We Don't Talk About Bruno not also winning is a travesty. Song is trending everywhere.
Where was Spider Man No Way Home? Where was Spidey hosting? Sure the Capea show was guessing, but that would have made sense.
They really need to separate the 10 possible best picture noms into categories. Then you thriller can also win, and your comedy can too.
The song from No Time to Die was haunting, good choice. But you just know it made them want to do another film, so yeah.
Spider Man not winning after getting over a billion, how strange.
Then Best Actor nom Wil Smith gets all butt hurt over Chris Rock making a tasteless joke, well at first he laughs, but then his wife tells him, that's not funny, and he politely walks up on stage, and pimp slaps da dude. Chris though shrugs it off as an honor to be 'b...slapped by Wil Smith'.
Wil then later apologizes at his acceptance speech for Best Actor, one of a dozen or so black men to get best actor. Not sure if it was acting, and he enjoyed the chance to pimp slap Chris on stage. Chris did not press charges.
Dune deserved at least something for best fantasy, but Spider Man was better. Admit that.
And that Chastane lady deserved the Oscar, and got it for that Tammy Fae flick.
Otherwise an epic letdown, save for the slap heard round the world, and the internet.
Can't help but think it was staged, and Wil and Chris will be starring in the next buddy cop comedy remake or movie next summer, and it will be them fighting like in Bad Boys or Beverly Hills Cop, or even Lethal Weapon.
Old 80s movies are all the rage.
You just know King Richard gonna be in a flick with Chris Rock eventually, especially after 2016 when they were up in their shizze. Yep, there was back story with them.
Would not put it past them it was a set up gone wrong. Or right. Everyone tuned in for that one moment, not for the pictures, and to see if Wil would apologize later, which he did on Twitter, of course.
He won for King Richared, so don't take away the Oscar, but still. Even so, Chris dissed his wife who has that thing that makes your hair fall out. He should have known it's a sensitive topic, and hair is a very sensitive topic for black people, I've heard.
As one commenter added to a comedy talk show comments discussing the head, the wife didn't like the joke, sao she isn't happy, go up there and do something.
Other comment said it starts a precedent that comedians can be slapped on stage. That's not cool.
But if you go to heckling comedians on purpose and paid to get in, you are foolish anyway.
Ironically, Wil won for playing the daddy of the Tennis stars, the Williams girls. Surprised they didn;'t just cast one of his kids in that, because you slap balls with tennis racquets.
