Seriously? OMG! WTF?

ABC

Timothée Chalamet showed up at the Oscars in a look, I don’t think, we have seen before. The actor wore a Louis Vuitton black sequenced jacket and black pants. However, there was one piece of clothing he was visibly not wearing, and it was a shirt.

Now, it looked cool AF on the red carpet. But, I am sure he regretted that decision when he got inside, and the room was freezing because of the AC. And you know, luck would have it, that he would be seated under the air conditioning vent. Making his nipples harder than most when they saw him go shirtless. And I am sure that was not the only article of clothing he was missing…

At the end of the night, three of the four actors who won the Oscar for their work last year posed for a photo together. Who was missing? Will Smith, who won for Best Actor, was not in the photograph.

I am sure it is because the disgraced actor opted not to do the press room. But in my mind, I will think it is because Ariana DeBose, Troy Kotsur, and Jessica Chastain were too afraid to pose with Smith because they didn’t want to say the wrong thing to him. Can you blame them?

I look forward to seeing them at next year’s Academy Awards when they present to the new winners. I just hope AMPAS doesn’t invite Smith back.

And I don’t want to take away from their glory because all three of them deserved their awards, and they should be celebrated for winning. Thank you for your award-winning performances. I can’t wait to see what you do next.

Us lay people, who were not good enough to go to the Oscars, know what we were thinking when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. But what were the people inside the Dolby Theatre thinking?

Juju shared what the people around him in the top row were thinking. “I was there, I saw it. It happened. And I can confirm that everyone, including myself, thought it was a joke. We thought it was a bit. I heard the sound. I heard the smack, and I thought, wow, that is a really cool sound effect. It sounded real. Then Will started yelling, and no we did not have the broadcast cut off because it was live. We heard eveything he said. There were many moments to walk it back, you know, to say it was a joke. But the fact that Will Smith said what he said twice. And if that wasn’t enough Chris Rock’s reaction to everything afterwards that kind of sealed the deal. That was when we knew it was real.” He said. “Then immediately chatting afterwards like what happens when he wins. It is literally the only thing that everyone is talking about right now. The only thing. It’s insane.”

So insane that in a second video, he said that they were talking about it in the bathroon during commercial breaks and at the post-parties.

It was the talk of Tinsle Town, and many towns in the world. So, it is not a good look for Hollywood. Therefore, I think that Smith should hold a press conference, apologize to Rock, the Academy, and movies fans for his actions. And then hand back his award, and say his actions make him ineligible for the honor. And then the Oscars should give the award to Andrew Garfield who deserved it for Tick Tick Boom and The Eyes of Tammy Faye.

In case you haven’t heard, Will Smith bitch slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars over a bad joke the latter told about Jada Pinkett Smith. That moment is the most talked-about Oscar moment since Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced the wrong movie as Best Picture in 2017.

Now, looking back at the moment. Were there warning signs? Yes, there were. When Regina Hall was calling out names to come on stage to be her future husband, she called on Smith. He didn’t want to play along with the joke. Granted, it was an unfunny one, but still, play along like all the real men of the night.

The biggest sign happened before The Smiths left for the awards show. They recorded a TikTok with audio that said, “Good morning, everyone. Gd has let me live another day, and I am about to make it everyone’s problem.” Then the couple made fighting faces into the camera.

If that was not telling enough, Smith captioned the video with, “Me ‘n @jadapinkettsmith got all dressed up to choose chaos.” They lived up to this caption. And ruined an already disastrous Oscar show.

These were not the only telling signs. He once slapped a fake reporter for trying to kiss him on the mouth. And there is a report that he recently hit Anthony Mackie in the jaw.

I think Smith should get some therapy and look into anger management classes because there is something going on.

When it comes to Smiths, am I surprised by what happened? Yes, and no. It has long been rumored they are not nice people. And yesterday, his nice-guy persona was destroyed like Ellen DeGeneres’ was last year. I think that is he why he cried crocodile tears during his acceptance speech.

I hope the Academy takes away his statuette because he should not be rewarded for what happened.

When it comes to Jada Pinkett-Smith and her alopecia, she said when she first did it that, Willow inspired her to do it. Then in December, it was partially because of the alopecia, and part of it was freeing. I cover entertainment news, and I didn’t know she had it. So, why do we expect that Rock knew? It was a bad joke, and the comedian did not deserve to be assaulted over it.

How many bad jokes have been told at the Oscars? Not once did it lead to violence before last night. If you can’t take a joke, then don’t go to a show where you know you are going to be at least one joke. Smith is an actor, and he should’ve pretended like it didn’t matter. Then privately, take Rock aside and talk to him like a man.

Smith is a role model. He should act like one. Because he just told kids it is OK to slap someone who says something you don’t like. And what man slaps another one? That is what women do.

I am done for now. And I am embarrassed for the Hollywood community because of what Smith did. And I hope he is waking up to a PR nightmare because there needs to be consequences for his actions.

The Oscar for Actor in a Supporting Role goes to Troy Kotsur for his spectacular performance in ‘CODA.’ Congratulations! #Oscars @troykotsur pic.twitter.com/pX3tZGzt2X

The Oscars are a bunch of elitist bull for the most part. However, every now and again, they surprise us by getting it right. Tonight they did so by giving Troy Kotsur the Best Support Actor award for his work in CODA.

I immediately got chills when a majority of the audience signed their applause as he walked to the stage. Then I was oohing and aahing as last year’s Best Supporting Actress Youn Yuh-jung stayed on the stage to hold his statuette so that he could sign his speech.

And what a speech it was. It was heartfelt as he thanked his director Sian Heder for the job she did. I laughed when he told the story about how he wanted to teach President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden curse words in ASL. My heart went out to him when he revealed that his father was in an accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down and was no longer able to sign.

Finally, as he left the stage, he was greeted with a standing ovation and the audience waving their hands back and forth.

It is everything that the Oscars should be! I am so happy we had that moment.
