Meanwhile, I'm trying to remember the last Will Smith movie I actually liked. I mean, Chris Rock is a trashbag but at least had that bit in I'm Gonna Get You Sucka.

A friend and I were comparing where we’d seen it today, and we finally settled on everywhere.

We couldn’t remember any celebrity story like this one. But of course, never seen fisticuffs at the Oscars before.

Some Will Smith threads are locked but the exact same topic, separate thread — not.

Saying that it’s not big news, when it clearly still is.

If they don’t want these threads for some reason, just say so. Saying something that is clearly false makes no sense.

The Oscars, like many other awards shows, are all about millionaires congratulating one another in order to promote their products in order to make more money.

Their importance has diminished as measured by their Nielsen ratings. Besides, the pandemic has changed the film and TV industries forever.
