Ok so being British I’m normally asleep when the academy awards happen. Normally they're pretty boring and by the numbers and you can snooze through most of them and just check twitter the next day to see who got what. Waking up this morning I couldn’t believe what I saw and as I’m sure many of you know, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock during the Oscars after he made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

Feels like I’m in some weird timeline where one of the nicest guys in Hollywood snapped and almost every movie youtuber at this point is scrambling to put something together like Will Smith’s publicist.

It’s the slap heard around the world.

So what the hell happened?

Well during the ceremony Chris Rock cracked a joke about Jada and Will got up on stage, hit him and then repeatedly told him to keep his wife’s name out his f**king mouth.

-

So yeah, just absolutely unbelievable, I’m in shock about it. This is getting meme’d to hell with many comparing it to the reason Will was sent to Bel Air in the first place and they’re also saying this is gonna be the last Oscars ever. I definitely think it’ll be the most memorable one and it’s difficult to think if there’ll ever be a time where this isn’t talked about every time the show is on.

Now comedians over the decades have always cracked jokes at the Oscars and these are normally taken in the spirit that they’re given.

Where Rocks kinda walks the line a bit is that Jada has alopecia and thus a bald joke is kinda making fun of a disease rather than it being something ego related. Now I don’t think Chris was aware of that but he’s not really said anything otherwise

You can actually catch Will laughing at it before he goes on stage and this is definitely why Chris was chuckling before he came up to him.

Now Will Smith actually went on to win Best Actor for his role in King Richard but this entire situation has completely overshadowed the whole thing.

Here’s his speech

-

You’ve got people cheering him on for standing up for his wife some saying he went to far and everyone is weighing in on what happened.

There’s even reports that he might have to hand his Oscar back because he’s violated the academy rules and though Rock isn’t pressing charges it’s a very bad look.

Now I kinda went through a mix of emotions when watching the clip and after the shock I was actually stunned to the point I didn’t know where I came down on it.

After thinking about it and seeing all the reactions I think this is a really bad look and that It’ll probably loom over smiths career for a long long time.

-

And that’s pretty much where I come down on it too. I think standup comedy has its own context and that when you go after people for jokes they make during it that you’re stepping outside of the medium and taking it to somewhere that it shouldn’t go.
