What global audiences?

The locals who were watching the Oscars down at the Global Bar and Grille in Encino.

For all his heavenly talk of “love” and such, he sure displayed a lot of hate.

Actions speak a hell of a lot louder than empty words, Will.

Let’s connect the dots. Pfizer is about to release a drug to combat alopecia. Pfizer was a sponsor of the oscars.

Will Smith couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag.

The “staged” slap failed miserably.

I as a man am insulted by Will Smith. Only a Frenchman who when insulted by another, would slap the other man. Real men in America would punch the guy’s lights out. Oh it was staged for ratings.

The Smith Family can put out a Rap Movie and album in the Austrian Alps called the Von Slap Family. Jada loves Rap.

But he will keep the Oscar, right?

A quick search turned up this: "By resigning, Smith will no longer be able to vote on Oscar-nominated movies and performances each year. His work, however, will still be eligible for future Oscars consideration and nominations."

So his resignation basically amounts to nothing.

Will Smith is a low-life POS.

Go away and stay away!

So you have to join the club in order to have a chance to win the award? What saps.

You wouldn’t want to take it away because it belongs to the film and the other people involved.

Like when a politician is "censured".

This should remove all doubts that this was real, not staged.

It was just black on black violence. What’s the big deal? We ignore it all of the time in Chicago.

It doesn’t, and it was.
These are actors, it’s what they do. Doesn’t mean they’re smart, likeable, talented, or normal, but it’s what they do.
