it was staged  

Viet Nam was the first helicopter war.  (keeping it helicopter related)

Will / Chris BS was staged.  Without question.

What is everybody in the world talking about?  Nothing is ever on TV by accident.  And they are dragging out the apologies and "academy review" to decide if Will keeps his trophy.  (keeping the story in the headlines for another week)  And soon we will see stories about the "medical condition" that caused the woman to shave her head.  (true, It is a frustrating disease and the relief is best had by buzzing.  So that part is real.) And stories about domestic abuse...  And stories about toxic masculinity.  blah-blah-blah

The Oscars viewership was down SEVENTY FIVE percent.  They had to do something to boost ratings.  And it worked.  Flawlessly.  And after all the lies (from EVERY news/media source) in the past few years, it seems someone besides me would see this for what it is.  It is actually no better than the Jussie S scam.

The supposed b**ch slap was miles off target.  Maybe a fingertip touched Chris Rock.  It reminds one of a fake fight in an old cowboy movie.
