Sam has the briefcase!!!  Do you suppose Marcellus Wallace's soul is still in there?

I didn't even make that connection! I thought it was a joke about being in a bad movie, which all actors are sometimes. The ironic thing is, Chris (or the joke writer) would have looked like the jerk for a joke about a physical problem, but now Will looks like the jerk.

I had no idea about Jada's alopecia (read it here), and I thought Chris's joke was because Jada's hair is super short, like in the GI Jane movie.

[Lady Whistleup]

Damn Uma looks amazing. What a beauty.

There is no need to reinvent the wheel on this particular piece.

exactly! it’s not like they’re splitting the fucking atom.

[twoods]

Wow Uma Thurman looks fantastic.

[dmeets]

I want to take SLJ’s masterclass.

c’mon Andrew!

[WendyCR72]

Well, whomever the cameraperson was, I noticed it panned to John Travolta during a "gay" joke. For all of the rumors, he didn't deck anyone.

But Will Smith won't be tossed. He's wealthy. Consequences are only for peons, I guess.

[bosawks]

Ugh, 28 years, fuck I’m old.

[Lady Calypso]

Rooting for Andrew, will be fine with Benedict, will go smack Will Smith if it's him.

[wonderwoman]

on a very shallow note: 

happy to see jane campion win, if for no other reason that we got to see the gorgeous back of a dress that from the front looks like a shroud.

[Artsda]

Will should be booed by the audience.  

[yowsah1]

The audience sounds during Will Smith's clip are... interesting...

[Sweet Tee]

Uma looks fantastic.

[dmeets]

MEH

[Lady Calypso]

Disappointing.

[Artsda]

Boo. 

[twoods]

Yikes.

John Travolta has dealt with the rumors for years. 

Um, this just got awkward. Will Smith won.

[Kimmmmmm]

Crap.

[yowsah1]

Turning off the TV.  Don't want to give Will Smith the viewership numbers.

should being the operative word…

[MerBearHou]

Damn

[Sweet Tee]

Ugghhhhhhh

[dmeets]

Don’t you try to justify it Will…

[DollEyes]

After the Will/Jada/Chris debacle, I was hoping for some relief and the "Pulp Fiction" reunion was just that. I was twisting with half the audience, but as for the contents of the briefcase, I was expecting a Royale with cheese.

Her skin GLOWS!

[scarynikki12]

I knew he had no chance of winning Oscar #3 but I fucking loved Denzel as MacBeth and would have loved to see him take it.

[wallflower75]

*sigh*

[Diana Berry]

All the Hollywood phoneys acting like nothing happened 

 

[Browncoat]

Oh well.  I actually would have liked to have seen Denzel win.  His was an outstanding version of Macbeth.

"Fierce defender of family".  Okay.

[Sweet Tee]

Oh, you shut up with that crap Will!

[Ohiopirate02]

Isn't Richard Williams still alive?  Will used the past tense when describing him.

[Mediocre Gatsby]

Awkward was just the word I was thinking when Will was getting up and Jada had to kiss him since he didn't kiss her. 

[Lady Whistleup]

This is a really awkward moment.

[galaxygirl76]

It's your big moment Will, don't fuck it up! 

*someone whispers in ear*

oh crap.

[WendyCR72]

I know it could not have been predicted, but Smith winning the Oscar is sort of like rewarding his bad behavior. Great.

[kittykat]

Should have been Andrew but would have been fine with Benedict.  Sigh.  After the Chadwick Boseman snub last year this somehow comes off even worse.

[MerBearHou]

He was “called on” to punch Chris Rock???  And cuss him out???  STFU

[bosawks]

It’s the most Will Smith thing ever to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

[dmeets]

This is gross

[Quickbeam]

Geez Will, did these women *ask* you to protect them? Patriarchy much…..

[scarynikki12]

Ok I can't tell if Will is going to full on make excuses or make some excuses wrapped up in an apology...

[Browncoat]

Dude, you're standing there talking about taking abuse?  Sure, buddy, sure.

Violence is not the answer to your wife’s feelings getting hurt, Will.

[wallflower75]

Um....'you gotta smile and pretend that's okay'...er, yeah, that's not what happened a little bit ago.

[Nordly Beaumont]

I am 100% unmoved by Will's speech.

[ichbin]

The publicist needs a special Oscar. 

[MerBearHou]

I could vomit at these platitudes coming out of his mouth.

[Artsda]

Play him off.
