My prediction is that a lot of lovely looking people (and the odd rough one, for the character roles) with lovely lives and lovely bank balances will pat each other on the back in a grand show of self satisfied loveliness. One or two of them might attempt a stirring speech about the world and maybe offer to house a Ukrainian woman with a child. But only a nice looking one, mind. Hardly any of them will offer to block book a hotel to house a whole load of them, despite taking home the odd $10M pay check every few months. They'll certainly encourage us too though, collectively. Once the people we all know have finished being surprised, some other people behind the scenes that we don't know will also be surprised and will thank some other people that we don't know and say that they are the best person who ever lived and that they love them. We may miss them doing that though, as we pop to the kitchen to make tea, or fast forward if we're watching on catch up. At the end, we will have a quick run down of the unimportant awards and a film that no one has ever heard of will win something. The films that every one liked throughout the year won't win anything.

As always, I have less than half my attention on this masterbatory, self-congratulating mess which my spouse insists on watching.  But I believe what Rock said was something like, "We're looking forward to G.I. Jane 2" before this all took place, and Jada looked pissed.  Not sure why and honestly did not understand the reference because I didn't see "G.I. Jane."  The mics were cut immediately following this.

The "punch" looks faked.  I suspect if Will Smith had wanted to actually punch Chris Rock, he would have easily done so.  Rock dodges it with ease as if he knew it was coming.

Not a good look for either.

The GI Jane 2 reference was because Jada has a bald head. She has a bald head due to alopecia. She didn't think the joke was funny.

Will Smith walked up and gave Chris Rock a slap.

Not a fan of Will Smiths outburst at all, but I kind of get it.
