Wow, I'm so glad I watched it live


Wow, I'm so glad I watched it live, I witnessed TV history. This will become a huge meme, it will be referenced and parodied everywhere for a very long time. Other than the time they gave the wrong movie Best Picture, this is pretty much the only thing anyone actually remembers about the Oscars.

I had no idea whether or not it was real, but now it seems like it was. There are a few odd things about it though, like the fact that Will laughed at the joke at the start, the fact that he wasn't kicked out, and the fact that he remained happy throughout the rest of the show.

Obviously Will hugely overreacted, but am I the only one who thinks making fun of Jada's alopecia was a little inappropriate?

It's quite sad, Will was hugely loved, now this will ruin his reputation. He did bring it on himself, but I can imagine other loveable people snapping when someone insults their family. I don't think it will ruin his career though, many successful actors have done much worse things.

watching the Full clip i'm more impressed with Rock for keeping it moving. he just agreed with Will screaming at him & continued on with the oscar intro

I missed it. Trying to avoid everything but a few choice categories. i have a feeling it will be accepted because it is supposedly defending a womans feelings (even though it was violent act).

accepted because it was a Soft Slap & not a Punch

I bet that will be the last Jada Pinkett joke ever heard during an awards show.
