  1. IMHO I don't think his Oscar should have been revoked, nor do I think it's even being discussed by anyone in power. And if it is, then that's ludicrous. I don't, however, think he should have been allowed to accept his award on stage last night nor give an acceptance speech except perhaps a quick apology (as opposed to the "I'm a MAN who's been blessed by GOD to protect his FAMILY" diatribe, or whatever babbling he was spewing). I agree these are not morality awards, but the behavior in question was conducted at that very ceremony just minutes earlier. Not anything that needed to be investigated: you misbehaved egregiously at the party, time to go home now. The Academy gave a statement saying they do not condone violence. By letting him sit front and center the rest of the night, laughing uproariously every time someone alluded to the incident, and giving him what felt like five minutes to justify his actions and words, the Academy did indeed condone it. Okay, I think I've officially exhausted all my thoughts on the topic.
  2. What a stand-up guy... On a non-assault topic... While I understand why Dune swept the techs, I can't help but be a little peeved about it beating out Spider-Man and Shang-Chi in light of Denis Villeneuve's snobbish attitude about MCU and comic book movies in general. He probably feels vindicated, so meh.
  3. My Facebook feed currently has no fewer than a dozen “we don’t talk about Jada no, no, no” memes. So yeah, Will2K is going to come out of this just fine.
  4. On the Red Carpet interviewed the young star of Belfast.(He had a cute story about Sofia Carson asking to be his date for the evening) But it occurred to me that there were 11 year olds in the audience watching the asshole physically assault another man and then hurl a multitude of obscenities. So good on ya, Big Willie Style.
  5. I’d be just as appalled at her as I am at him. Only difference is she wouldn’t have had a platform 15 minutes later to offer a half-hearted apology but a full-hearted excuse.
  6. I’m still flabbergasted that he used the speech to explain that as a family man, just like Richard Williams, he’ll do anything to protect his family, costars, and the Williams family. That is what he said, right? And then he yukks it up the rest of the night. Fucking hell. they clapped for him, but I hope some of the folks in that room rip him a new one in post interviews. It’ll be too little too late but I need to know some of them realize what he did was appalling.
  7. And the asshole’s cracking up wildly at the joke about said asshole changing the vibe. oh hey, Sir Anthony! Nice to see you this time. oh praising the asshole? Never mind sit back down somewhere.
  8. Wonder if we’ve seen the last of our hosts until the final minute spoke too soon
  9. I wish they’d consider amending the rule so that a song has to be part of the movie, not just a credits song. But I realize that would narrow things considerably.
  10. At least she’s genuinely thrilled. Cute to see her elation.
  11. I suspect real or not, Will’s people will get Chris to say it was all a bit.
  12. If he truly punched him the police need to be there. Though I highly doubt Chris Rock would even consider pressing charges
  13. I don’t think I like certain people getting special tributes. Feels like ranking their importance even more than past years have done
