maybe I am a bit cynical but it would not be the Oscars without something going on. You know, for publicity.

Plus, Smith's speech shortly afterwards about protecting the people he cares about seemed just a wee bit too convenient, considering.
I really do hope it was genuine - Chris Rock is a nasty little cunt. But something tells me that it was planned by the two of them in advance.

chris rock crossed an arbitrary line (i thought it was a good joke) and i'm pretty sure smith was quite drunk if the delayed and unchecked violence was any indication.
(there's another angle that confirms the contact, btw)
washington and perry coached him for his oscar speech, but any way you cut this he comes out looking like a nasty, entitled prick.
i thought chris handled himself very well, all things considered.

I can actually hear the contact, so possibly true.

Hope this wish for a violent comeuppance to those who fail to please you doesn’t extend outside of your fantasies

I guess I was more taken aback by the widespread approval, at least on social media. Sign of the times, I guess

You can't have a buzzcut and not expect people to take the piss

Instead of having a mild skin condition? Probably wouldn't have made this quite tame scripted joke, then.
Here’s another one who probably should stay away from comedy nights.
Rock is at the mild end of the comedy spectrum, most of his act is self-deprecating stories from when I've seen his specials. America has a whole bunch who specialise in put downs and roasts, more than our Boyle, Carr, Gervais and the like.
