13. Chris Rock was the real man and I admire how he handled the debacle

I don't think enough has been said about Chris Rock's incredible grace under pressure. Imagine if he'd met violence with violence to prove he too is a "real man". Instead he met it with something akin to disbelief.

In my view, Chris Rock, is the one who behaved like a real man, aka a rational man in control of himself and one who does not resort to violence when someone acts like an immature asshat.

If any lesson should be taken from the debacle, it should be Chris Rock's grace under pressure before an audience of thousands. He displayed his grace even further by not capitalizing on the incident or giving it more attention. He has remained largely silent on the issue and allowed Will Smith's ridiculous action to speak for itself.

Will Smith appeared to be seriously unhinged. Will Smith crying during his acceptance speech reminded me of Kyle Rittenhouse. Crying after he belatedly regrets his hideous toxic behavior. His excuse about attributing it to love was a lame excuse for his inability to manage his emotions.
