11. It makes me sad.

I like Will Smith and his work. I hope they do not take the award back. This could be an important time to quit. I just personally don't see this event as being all earth shaking and a Federal offense, when Chris Rock insulted Smith's wife over a medical condition. And, especially since Smith pulled his slap and walked away, and also Rock did not want to press charges. The whole thing looked like a bit.

The Academy should get off its high horse. Do they not review or critique the content of some announcer's monologue? They should not allow people to be so insulted, any more than they should condone fisticuffs at the podium. The whole situation is just stupid. But, I blame Chris Rock for his lame roast-like joke and provoking the confrontation.

Jada Smith is BEAUTIFUL, just gorgeous, with or without hair. She has nothing to worry about!
