Entirely staged. If the network (which needed an Oscar ratings boost badly) didn't plan it, they would've cut to commercial-- and definitely would NOT have went to a close-up of Will Smith before his f-bomb. Stupid. 🤦♂️
And you think they would've handed him an Academy Award shortly after assaulting someone on international television? (So stupid.)
they did cut the audio in the USA and did not zoom in, this image was taken from an edited version of what went live.. anyone in the uSA did not hear will shouting etc..
sadly YEs i think they would have handed it to him because that is what their whole event is about and it would have detracted seriously from the whole show to suddenly not give the main and most important. award.. instead they decided to do it afterwards, which they are now in the process of doing..
if you check the comments section you will see a post i shared from a body language expert. I found that video fascinating and a great insight into what was really going on. Faking body language and small nuances is almost impossible when on live TV.. well worth a look.. Thanks for sharing your ideas also.
