2022 Rotten Oscars

Did that just happen?!?

Will Smith just assaulted Chris Rock at the Oscars?

Seems like it! WTF

[stuckeyc]

That was crazy. I am firmly on team rock

Oh that definitely just happened. What a garbage move. Way to taint and spoil the entire proceedings. Can’t wait for his acceptance speech, for which I will now have an entirely opposite reaction to the one I was going to have. Jerk.

[RottenAtom]

Man, I can't believe Chris Rock didn't fight back. They would've had to call a team to drag me outta there...

He just stood there not knowing what to do (looking like a punk) and trying to remain professional. Comedianss should not have to put up with that(!)

What an embarrassing display that mars all the events right after. Shitted on Questlove's moment. Oof...

[binky79]

He said on the red carpet that the entire Williams family is there as well. They must be mortified. Terrible.

[middayshadows]

Yup. Classless and an embarrassment. He was laughing as the joke, yes the joke, was told, and was trying to laugh it off afterwards. His entire personality is a charade. drymount that guy. If he wasn't who he is, he’d be be immediately hauled out of there. He really should be.

I feel for Chris Rock, and Questlove too. you think anyone is really truly listening to Coppola, Deniro and Pacino right now? Or the in the in memoriam? Or focusing on anything else?

Welp at least I know how social media's gonna look for the next 24 hours.

Completely ruined the Godfather thing for me. As a longtime Chris Rock fan I was amped up. (Still am!) Props to him for not engaging. He did the right thing and just took the shot. Man, I could've never showed restraint in that moment.

You're right, he should be arrested mid-show. Acceptance speech from the back of the cop car

Luls. I ain't washing dis trash (the oscars), but I just saw the clip, and I'd say Smith looked like more of a punk. Will Smith is quite a bit bigger than Rock, and Rock barely moved. He ain't going to scrap on the floor of the Oscars if he wants to work again in the forseeable future.

Here's the clip:

[RottenAtom]

You're right Blue. I've seen it again now and Rock just took the shot. Props to him for not letting emotions getting the best of him. He was probably so surprised by it all he didn't know how to react. Crazy.

Probably was all staged to liven up future ratings and get people to talk about the show.

[Codeblue]

Wouldn't doubt it. Could very easily have been a rasslin move they planned ahead. Then again, not sure Will Smith can act dat well. #shotsfired

[RottenAtom]

Best Actor. Here we go...

[RottenAtom]

This dude... shut the hell up Will Smith

[RottenAtom]

He apologized to the Academy but not to Chris Rock

Is this the weirdest Oscars moment we've seen in the 11 years of this contest? I think so! So weird
