What a shock. Even the three strong independent women hosting the show, why didn\u2019t any of them run to Rock\u2019s aid? The three could have merged into a host Transformer and kicked the Fresh Prince in the a**; it\u2019s not like they can\u2019t work as a group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gutfeld then played a clip of the three hosts chanting \u201cGay, gay, gay, gay\u201d together from the Oscar show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTalk about traumatized; everyone at home was scarred by that,\u201d Gutfeld commented, adding, \u201cSo we\u2019re even.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Academy also apologized to Rock, thanking him for his resilience,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey promised next year they\u2019ll let him wear headgear and a mouthpiece. But then they also apologized to the nominees and guests for what transpired. Fine. But do you remember how the room greeted Smith moments after he won for Best Actor? That\u2019s the kind of hero\u2019s welcome reserved for a conquering hero or me entering the steam room at Planet Fitness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the Academy\u2019s apology to the nominees and guests, Gutfeld asked rhetorically, \u201cBut do you think these people really deserve an apology?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cOne thing Jim Carrey said in his entire life that I agree with,\u201d then played a clip of Carrey saying, \u201cI was sickened. I was sickened by the standing ovation. I felt like Hollywood is just spineless en masse, and it really felt like this is a really clear indication that we\u2019re not the cool club anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, later, Will was seen dancing at an Oscar party, clutching his award, like it made a joke about being bald like his wife,\u201d Gutfeld noted. \u201cI have to say it doesn\u2019t seem like he, his family, or anyone around him were too traumatized. That\u2019s cause maybe they weren\u2019t? New video shows Jada Pinkett Smith appearing to laugh after Rock announced he\u2019d been slapped. And even their veganized kid was talking trash on social media. It wasn\u2019t until the next day when they woke up and saw the real reaction. Who\u2019s laughing now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then Gutfeld cut loose:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The fact is the Oscars needed a good slap in the face, not Rock. As they bend over backwards to please the woke, they forgot how broke their industry is. The ceremony is worse than the movies which are made by people who think the average ticket buyer is scum. And the people in that auditorium, they get smaller and smaller. Next year they should all be sitting in booster seats. They act more frightened like frightened high schoolers dependent on fitting in and standing out, so desperate to be friends with the power brokers and the bullies, so they embrace the virtue signaling, the sanctimonious moralizing, the predictable political sloganeering, just so they can maintain relevance in an industry that cancels true renegades.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>At the Oscars, the diversity of identity trumps the diversity of thought. No wonder they hate Joe Rogan. If anything, Smith gave us something to talk about, even if what we\u2019re talking about is how screwed up he is and how screwed up Hollywood is. The joke isn\u2019t about his wife\u2019s head, it\u2019s about what\u2019s inside of everyone\u2019s there.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
