The Oscars

Was Hugo doing the bants?

Smallman1 this was what I was questioning too. I can’t make out if Will Smith is smart enough to realise that if he only slapped him then he’d get away with it, or this whole thing was a bit of an awkward stunt. I think if he was that worked up he’d have punched him, in which case Chris Rock would’ve hit the deck and a scrum would have ensued.

rhouses Smalls taking Chris Rock’s joke a bit too personally, imo.

It was more the slap, should have chinned him.

No news outlet has even mentioned that Jessica Chastain, a genuinely good actress won. Airbrushed out of all coverage

C_J Gervais attacked the privileged & guilty,

Not totally. Some of his jokes have been equally cruel and personal.

Fucking funny, mind.

hugopal Given your previous form it’s impossible to tell.

mono-stereo I was partly hoping Grant would bite tbh.

Was surprised this was only the second Oscar for Hanz Zimmer. Dune was not even near his best works, the last two Nolan Batmans, and Interstellar. Hell, Inception OST is great too.

bosstrabs show me one where he has mocked someone’s medical condition.

And no, being a peado isn’t a medical condition, for the purposes of this discussion anyway.

bosstrabs

Yeah, don’t, because I know every joke in his GG tenure and the closest he gets to mocking the afflicted is probably when he mistakes Joe Pesci for Baby Yoda.

Lol, that’s class!

C_J Yeah, don’t, because I know every joke in his GG tenure

An utterly bizarre claim to fame, but fair enough if that’s what you’re into.

From what I remember his treatment of Caitlyn Jenner seemed quite cruel, and could be considered to be mocking those with gender dysphoria. Funny, but undoubtedly cruel (and no real need to pick on him/her).

Broken Arrow was a superb soundtrack too, but the film was pretty much dogshit, so it’s been forgotten about.

bosstrabs As Gervais literally made an entire comedy show mocking the mentally handicapped (Derek)

Wrong again, Dave. ‘Derek’ was satirising prejudice against the disabled. Granted Gervais isn’t the greatest actor in the world but he plays the character with a respectful amount of care and sincerity. Notice I said character not caricature. You could argue it’s a little shallow or possibly manipulative but to say he’s mocking the mentally handicapped is way off the mark and missing the point.

No, you’re wrong:

and you’re also a massive spaz headwand yourself.

zackster Glad to see the consensus is that Will Smith sucks. Complete weirdo.

He was right when he said “You can’t invite people from Philly nowhere” [sic] though.
