Wow, they are trying to milk this and are pissing into the wind with some weak journalism.

This was actually rehearsed, not impromptu?

Who is their target market with this? 12 year olds?

I don't know if you saw it, but Will Smith resigned from the Academy. I wonder if this was a case of "We will give you a chance to resign first"

The little I understand about this resignation is it means he can’t vote for who should win in future, but can still be nominated. Even if he couldn’t be nominated, big deal. Hardly earth shattering

Who cares? Talking about a multi-millionaire who’s only problem in life right now is that his wife is losing her hair. Kind of like feeling sorry for a billionaire who’s yacht has a hole.

Someone's yacht has a hole?!

Re: Will Smith Hit Chris Rock at the Oscars ?

He already did.

Preemptive/proactive action is what he did later on by stepping down & apologizing north to west, in order not to get stripped off, down to the bone, of all his laurels.

Imagine the conversation in the car on the way home.
