ExoDus84 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Smith's resignation was a PR, face-saving maneuver. He met with the heads of the AMPAS ahead of time and got wind he'd either be suspended/expelled, so took the initiative to resign instead. More Hollywood politics. Still, apparently not being a member of the Academy is pretty toothless. He can't vote for awards nominees? Big goddamn deal. His work can still be considered for Oscars, even if he isn't a member of the Academy. Seems like a pathetic "punishment". I feel like if you get forced out of AMPAS, you should not be able to even be considered for an Academy Award. Either way, Smith is an absolute idiot. Imagine working your entire life to earn an Academy award, and on the night in which you know you are guaranteed to win, an hour before you get the biggest prize of your professional life, you decide to walk on stage and assault the host and tainting your own achievement forever. ****ing moron. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the sentiment of a lot of what you're saying here, but I don't believe anyone else should be punished for what he just did. In other words, if there was a movie up for best picture and he was in it, it should still be considered. It shouldn't be held against his director/co-stars, etc. Smith has some issues. And while I don't feel 100% sorry for the guy, he's got to be pretty emotionally ****ed up to be with a woman like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) Feel like I'm in the minority here with acknowledging what sacrifices people make for their spouses. Also read that Chris Rock has been making sexist Jada jokes going on 25 years now (ever since she participated in the woman's March in 97). Edit..again, I still think Smith was wrong. But I do understand the urge people have to "protect" their spouses. Also think Chris Rock can do better with his comedy.

skinsmarydu Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Imo, if it was a GI Jane joke (I don't know, haven't watched any of that drama), Jada should've stood up and struck a "Hulk" pose. Of course I love that movie, I'm ex-Navy and Demi's character (Jordan) outsmarted a bunch of men to prove that she could. It would be an honor (for me) to even be roasted/joked about in that regard. She should get a chukka boot upside her ass for "not getting it". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm sayin'...she could've "rocked" the joke, kinda like her husband did...but got all up in her feels instead and then her husband embarrassed himself terribly because she had to throw the side-eye at him.

She's fortunate that she still looks great with it short. It's one reason I don't feel sorry for her (rich, famous, etc all the other typical reasons). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about self-sabotage on the biggest stage. If there’s one thing I learned in life, it’s when things don’t make sense (not obvious), there’s usually another/deeper level than the surface details. And it can take awhile before those details will be known/shared. Give him a couple of years, he’ll be on Oprah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
