@Vivian  "As one comedian said, the reason they gave WS a standing ovation when he got his Oscar is that the audience didn't have time to call their publicists to find out what their most marketable reaction should be."

 

I agree with you. The Hollywood elite must consult managers, agents, publicists and lawyers before they can give a statement/response.  They are so afraid to offend anyone because it might mean lost work opportunities that they are like sheep and just go with the crowd.

Re: Excellent commentary on THE SLAP

Very Interesting..

The upcoming rules for Oscar eligibility....

The Academy plans to introduce new “representation and inclusion requirements” stipulating that judges must evaluate films not solely on the basis of merit...

Yes, it's completely on Will Smith.  This isn't about "Hollywood" at all.  


This was not scripted and it amazes me someone would still think that it is after Will resigned from the Academy.  As far as Hollywood goes it did come about Hollywood the moment they rose out of their chairs standing and clapping for Will.  I was just as disgusted by that as The Slap.
