I gave up award shows over a decade ago. However, I have watched the same clip repeated on several news channels of Will Smith sitting there laughing at Chris Rock. It wasn't until he did a quick side eye glance at his wife & got the dirty look & he sprung into action. Jmo, he did nothing to be proud about.
Violence of any kind should never be tolerated, my husband & both are on the same page about this. I suspect Will Smith's PR team jumped into action putting together his apology. Perhaps Washington put a bug in his ear. I suspect the Academy in a few weeks will announce since Smith resigned from the board, no further action is needed.
@F8, I don't think this was preplanned, the award shows have been tanking in viewership for quite some time.
yeah, it's a pretty big stretch that will smith, who is at the top of his game, would damage his reputation and endanger lucrative projects in the works to give a boost to academy award ratings. however, i would not be surprised to see rock and maybe the ghost of JFK jr hosting next year lol
