Re: Celebrity/media news

Yeah, I thought it was either a big overreaction, or, just my theory, it was completely staged and planned from the beginning.

It was a bad joke and I get why Smith would be mad (assuming it wasn't staged). Just, also think people should probably be getting mad at the Oscars themselves here, not just Rock and Smith.

Also I'm not ready to say it was staged, but if incidents like this and the Moonlight thing keep happening at the Oscars, at some point it's going to start getting mighty suspicious.

It definitely wasn't staged. When he won Best Actor he tearfully apologized in his speech to the Academy and his fellow nominees - but not to Rock. Today he issued a formal statement of apology to Rock. Also the Academy released info that there might be some kind of investigation and disciplinary measure.

Honest human error. The Moonlight thing - that was on Beatty and Dunaway, IMO. Beatty knew right away something wasn't right with the card he was handed (It was the one for Best Actress, had the category name and Emma Stone's name on it, right there. He should have said something.)

I get that it's all showbiz and all - and the lines get blurred, Amy Schumer's apparent diss of Kirsten Dunst really was a staged skit that everyone was in on, it just landed really badly right after the Smith incident. But for such a big-budget polished production they actually do screw up more than you'd think.

Agreed.

"investigation and disciplinary measure"? what the hell is there to investigate? they know what happened, we all saw what happened

as for disciplinary measure... i've seen talk that they should rescind that oscar and that's the start of a slope that's quickly followed by harvey weinstein / roman polanski / john wayne / etc

Re: Celebrity/media news

They should definitely not rescind his Oscar and I don't think they will. Like you said, if they're going to start taking Oscars back over bad behavior there are a LOT of people who've done a LOT worse than Smith.

I expect a temporary suspension from the Academy or something like that, if anything.

(Pure speculation but I would not be shocked if Rock's public statement is along the lines of "I accept his apology and I kind of deserved it."
