Or a movie from there won. First movie from a streaming service to win an Oscar.

I have not the slightest idea what that movie is about but "Coda" is a musical term. Maybe it's a musical? I have no intentions of watching it.
One of the most boring movies I ever saw won like 7 Oscars. It was Driving Miss Daisy.
An unrelated video tweet that was NOT shown within the US, so this was recorded via Japanese TV.
NSFW.
Chris Rock was making some jokes before presenting one Oscar when Will Smith walked up from the audience and punched Rock in the face. Rock handled this as well as possible.

yeah... I saw it, didn't want to post it. But ok, we can make this the Oscars thread, wich, I did not watch. I have just seen some of the news about it.
I saw a picture from a different angle that made it look like a slap, as in open hand, not a fist. But still.
Anyway... she has a condition, not bald by choice, so the joke was in bad taste, and getting annoyed by it is understandable, but Will Smith shouldn't have done that. Rock's reaction? could have been a lot of things, but the best possible outcome.

I... uhmmm.... The Bel-Air show is great. Do watch it.
It wasn't necessary to do it in the middle of the show, or using physical violence. It's a poor reflection on Will Smith that he chose to do so in the way that he did, and Chris Rock handled it as well as he could.
Will Smith apologizes
I don't buy his apology and I find it really insincere when people apologize in an online post instead of, you know, directly to the person.
I can't wait to see what Saturday Night Live does with this.
Jim Carrey reacted to this: "Sickened."
What’s sad about the slap is a lot of people think a real man wouldn’t hesitate to even punch a guy who insults his woman, these folks are the reason so many “real men” are currently locked up in prison, normally a slap or punch would result in an assault charge and likely prison time, not winning an award and partying afterward…..
Smith missed an opportunity to do damage control by not apologizing to Chris when he apologized to the academy and everybody else, the Chris Rock apology should have been first, not just at least there somewhere in that broadcasted video apology when he accepted that award…..
Smith is probably all stick fiddled up in the head from living with a monstrously abusive uncouth woman for a wife.
To echo what was said on SNL Weekend Update, Smith should be made to host next year's Academy Awards, and maybe for the next 10 years.
