Chris Rock and Will Smith: Oscars Slap

I look forward to the paths

these two men will take

moving forward. 

Chris Rock -the victim of an assault

Will Smith -the perpetrator

Chris Rock - anger, healing from the attack

Will Smith - shame, disbelief in mental health

and poor decisions

The world, who cheered and boo-ed

but it's not about the world, it's the individual 

who must walk his path alone.

And the world greedily 

watching their steps.

It’s his night

G1 Jane 1?

I didn’t hear

of this in NIgeria

I don’t get the reference.

12:15 pm

1997? At the time

I had someone

wiping my ass as I commanded

my world to attend to my

needs. 

and 

O wow, someone on google said

“It was a financial flop and critically

lambasted.”

(misogynistic men, probably)

I do see the reference tho.

Two beautiful 

strong female lead characters

looking serene and beautiful

decked in green

honey-brown eyes

brown skin on point

such a smile

clean jaw

How you managed to

expertly and confidently

steal the show

with or without

alopecia

your beauty shows.

12:22 pm

Has he made the joke

before? 

Was there a previous conversation?

She definitely didn't like it.

He appears defensive of his

joke

that was a nice one

he says

and I agree.

Seems like he got on that stage

so fast

0:27 - 0:39

Lol, why are you laughing

then bracing your step

feet apart for what I think you see

coming?

E be like film trick 

0:37 Uwa haha ha ha ha ha hahaha

0:39 Boom

No offense but

Ol’ W.S. seems more shook

by it

almost done lost his balance

0:37

12:36 PM

Do you know what it feels like

to receive a public slap

for a trivial issue

and an unexpected source.

12:56 PM

If you slap someone

should you stand and fight

or place a tactical distance

away from possible retaliation.

12:57 PM

0:49 CR handled that calmly

0:45 last shot of W.S.

0:49 keep my wife's name out of your …

0:52 next W.S. shot

Who’s the cameraman?

You’re supposed 

to focus on his walk 

of shame.

He laughed first

Compare 1:07 to 0:29

The previous couple, if she loses

he can’t win

or he’ll be miserable

because he wants her to be

happy?

Jada, I love ya                 

0:21

Do you know who has the 

hardest job tonight?

0:00

He said

1:07 C.R.’s voice shakes

1:08 He’s cute, sad, adorable, and funny

1:05 and not funny

as he blinks furiously

processing his assault

1:07 did he say walking home?

The once brilliant smile is dead

1:14

Kids, don’t lose your cool

or you’ll play a fool.
