So how about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock???

I don't really care all that much about the act itself, but it sure seems to get a LOT of people talking about all of the underlying issues - and I'm all about finding ways to get people talking!

So, how about that slap??? Another thing that people should be talking about is these entries! Read more... )

Honestly, I've been reading a lot of celebrity gossip right now because the regular news is so horrible and the dumpster fire is still burning. I spent all day today on the slap heard 'round the world and I have a thought:

If Will Smith hadn't slapped Chris Rock, that lame joke would have been forgotten in like five minutes because it was so lame. But he had to make a Big Thing out of it and so here we are. And also the reason he wasn't escorted out immediately is because they knew he was going to win Best Actor even though it totally should have gone to Denzel Washington because The Tragedy of Macbeth is ten times the movie that King Richard was, is, or ever will be.

And yes, I'm saying that because Macbeth is the only movie nominated for anything that I saw this year. Mind-blowingly good. Which reminds me, I need to write a personal post about my theory about Ross.

Ironically, "Macbeth" is the one movie I *didn't * see this year, even though I love Shakespeare and Denzel, because I couldnt find a streaming service that had it.

It's on Apple+ but maybe they'll release it to other services since it got a high-profile nomination. At least that's how it would work out in a perfect universe.

If you only saw one how do you compare it to the others to assess which one should have won anything? Does Denzel deserve the prize for best acting because you chose to see the movie?
I'd maybe give a point to marketing for that...

It's true. Only movies I'VE seen should win an Oscar!!!

It was a joke.
