That’s very true and obviously I need to qualify my statement not to apply to things like illnesses. But if you’re telling everyone about your open marriage and your entanglements, yeah comedians have carte blanche to roast you about it.
That said, it also turns out the joke was written by the Oscars writing team, not…

The only reason Regina made a joke about is that Jada has been telling the world details of her marriage for years. If you put it out there, you can’t fault a comedian for making a joke about it. 

The worst are the women like Tiffany Haddish saying this shit’s romantic. 

I think it’s just what happens when you’re a couple of self-important humorless scientologists who take themselves way too seriously and think the entire world is fascinated with the minutia of their lives. People are goign to make jokes. Plus, turns out Rock didn’t even write the joke, the Oscars ceremony writing…

Like I said, agree to disagree....

But only one is wearing it in her size. 

Zoe looks amazing.

Ugh this is making me think so much less of Tiffany Haddish. No, it’s not brave, or romantic, it’s unhinged and possessive and toxic. And using love to excuse his behavior? That’s what domestic abusers say all the time after they’re done beating their wife or girlfriend. And it’s not a leap to say that the same logic…

You’re also assuming everyone thinks the characters were treated thoughtlessly. I really don’t see how they were portrayed without dignity, I watched it and it’s obvious who the asshole was.

That was mostly non-reactions disguised as word salads, and Tiffany Hadish and her hot take.

But you’re missing the point by assuming that artists have to or should make movies that are teaching moments or speak to current events, instead of the movie they choose to write or make. That’s what I meant in my first comment where I said art does not have to be didactic, or speak to current affairs or politics in…

I mean, if you’re into really obvious humour where everything is literally spelled out and neatly wrapped up and not open to interpretation. But if that’s your thing, Paul Thomas Anderson movies are not for you.

The Jezebel hot takes on Will Smith’s behaviour are getting increasingly ridiculous, and you guys are really showing your asses. 

And what’s all that virtue-signalling from Hollywood going to achieve on the ground in Ukraine? How is it going to change the course of the war? 

Totally agree. Tracee Ellis Ross’ was a good idea, in theory, but not in execution and it just wasn’t very flattering. DeBose’s whole look not just gorgeous, it was perfectly tailored and fitted.

I’m glad she won even if I have no interest in musicals, filmed or on stage. 

This was an outstanding performance and the costumes and choreaography were great but the song really wasn’t great. Like most of the songs nominated for Oscars. Maybe because the songs nominated tend to be showtunes or stupid Disney songs (ugh Let it Go) or overblown, bombastic, earnest shit that’s supposed to tell…

I think Chris Rock knew what he was doing and that there’s some history there. He also made a dig at Jada back in 2016 when she said she was boycotting the Oscars and he joked that she wasn’t even invited. I have a feeling he probably thinks the Smiths take themselves way too seriously, and he knows just how to get a…

Considering Will’s initial reaction was to laugh at Rock’s joke, I suspect that’s really what he was trying to make up for when he got up on stage to punch Rock...

Of course that’s Jezebel’s takeaway, would you expect any different? They also thought there wasn’t enough Ukraine coverage and that Zelensky should have taken time off from Russia invading his country to address a room full of actors via zoom. I’m not even joking.
