I guess it depends on the sensitivity of the individual who has been targeted by the comedian. I mean, if Jada had lost an eye to retinoblastoma would Chris Rock have mentioned her being in a Popeye remake? Did it matter that he wasn't aware of her alopecia? It's 2022. Women don't need men to come to their defense of an insult. They choose to respond or not. It appears Jada chose not to respond.
Could Smith lose his Oscar for ignoring Academy Codes of Conduct? Jeez, -slapping someone on national tv? Is that worse than Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulting numerous anonymous young actresses over the course of his career? He still has his Oscar for Shakespeare in Love.
This Oscar show was trying to be too many things to too many groups and everyone was pandering to them, imo. Granted, the pandemic had definitely taken a bite out of the availability of movies to the general public and lack of promotion was a problem but movies that will fade into obscurity won Oscars. Forgettable films were celebrated (White Men Can't Jump. Really?), the In Memoriam segment was turned into a song and dance production and a nominated song wasn't even performed in the theatre. It was a horrible song, too. All hat no cattle.
My personal opinion is that everyone should reset and forget the whole thing happened. Everything is my opinion.
