The Oscars has been bleeding viewership for years. Between the dreadfully boring movies, the gratuitous backslapping (especially those they give themselves), and the Woke virtue-signaling that has anyone to the right of AOC tuning out, it’s been one Hollywood-produced snorefest after another.

The viewership has gone down for all major awards shows for years, but it plummeted in particular under the Trump administration. 2021 was an utter disaster, as far as Academy Awards and Grammy ratings go.

Some of that can be chalked up to the Covid pandemic, which hit Hollywood studios hard by delaying movie production and killing the domestic and foreign box offices. But 2021 was more of an acceleration of a trend that had been in place since around 2014.

Enter the ‘fight of the century,’ if you want to call a brief slapdown between two fellow actors that. It was unprecendented in the nearly 94 years of academy awards shows: An A-list actor taking such offense at a joke that he actually slapped a legendary comedian for telling it.

Now, the surreal live television event was heightened by the U.S. domestic audience being shown several moments of air with the audio completely cut following Will Smith’s altercation with Chris Rock. You could see Will Smith shouting angrily — not the usual kind of yelling you’d expect from an actor. But real yelling. It was the kind you might expect from a loud drunk at a bar on Friday night. It was visceral and raw and a bit unnerving to witness.

It didn’t take long for the full, unedited footage to surface. Here it is below. See if you can detect anything ‘off’ or that might have some people questioning whether or not it was all staged:

 

 

The first thing that was odd is that Will Smith initially laughed at Chris Rock’s ‘GI Jane’ joke.

But there was something else that didn’t quite add up. You could hear Smith slap Rock’s face hard enough to make a loud sound. Here is the slap in super slow motion:

But one of the oddest things is how Chris Rock stood up to the blow and even laughed about it. One moment in particular shows them both grinning from ear-to-ear.

Chris Rock then declined to press charges against Will Smith with the LAPD.

There were plenty of people who came to the conclusion that this must be staged.

There were plenty who rebutted that it was most definitely not staged.

What do you think? Was it real or staged? Weigh in below.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].

    Yeah, I thought it was fake as well. When I first saw it, it had a very Jerry Springeresque feel to it. Replace two white redneck trailer park girls with two A list stars, and you have it.

    Definitely staged. A warning to comics who dare berate the puppets. The previous year’s ceremony is worth watching for Ricky Gervais complete roasting of “The Hollywood Establishment.”
