Denzel Washington Opened Up About Will Smith's Oscars Slap Incident After Taking Him Aside During The Event

EXCLUSIVE: The Oscar nominated What’s Love Got to Do With It actress has boarded Netflix’s fantasy film Damsel, which also stars Millie Bobby Brown.

The Daily Beast reported Thursday. She replied with a triple-whammy of an alibi:“Well, I would like to say, I haven’t personally been on Twitter,” she responded.

The inside scoop. Amy Schumer opened up about how she felt after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars — and revealed what the vibe was like behind the scenes.

After Marjorie Taylor Greene called out Jimmy Kimmel for joking about Will Smith hypothetically slapping her, the comedian defended his humor.

A tweet went viral late last year making a joke about Leonardo DiCaprio that was similar to a joke Amy Schumer made while co-hosting the 2022 Oscars.

Zack Sharf Jimmy Kimmel fired back at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on social media over her claim that she reported one of his jokes to Capitol Police. Greene took issue with a joke Kimmel made on the April 5 episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” During his monologue, Kimmel evoked Will Smith in joking about wanting someone to slap Greene over her thoughts on the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Ketanji Brown Jackson.“This woman, Klan mom, is especially upset with the three Republican senators who said they’ll vote yes on Ketanji Brown Jackson, who’s nominated for the Supreme Court,” Kimmel said, referring to Greene.

Clayton Davis New Zealand-born actor, director and producer Russell Crowe had one of the most incredible runs in the late 1990s and early 2000s, quickly becoming a huge star in Hollywood. With a career that started opposite George Takei in “Blood Oath” (1990), he’s delivered a treasure trove of unforgettable performances over the last three decades.After making a name for himself in Australia with nominations and wins at the country’s equivalent to the Oscars for “The Crossing” (1990), “Proof” (1991) and “Romper Stomper” (1992), his debut in American cinemas began opposite Denzel Washington in Brett Leonard’s sci-fi flick “Virtuosity” (1995) as the virtual reality entity turned serial killer android SID.

Zack Sharf Amy Schumer appeared on “Watch What Happens Live!” this week and denied stealing off Twitter the Leonardo DiCaprio joke she made during her monologue at the 94th Academy Awards (via The Daily Beast). Accusations of joke stealing have followed Schumer throughout her career. She roasted DiCaprio at the 2022 Oscars with the following joke: “He has done so much to fight climate change and leave behind a cleaner, greener planet for his girlfriends.” Social media users questioned whether or not Schumer stole the joke from a viral tweet posted in December 2021.“OK.

her arguably slanderous accusation that three of her fellow Republicans are “pro-pedophile” for supporting Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson. (Jackson has also been baselessly accused of being pro-pedophilia by an alarmingly high number of Republicans, but so far those other Republicans haven’t also turned this gross line of attack on their own side.)So in his monologue, Kimmel quoted her baseless accusations verbatim, then joked, “Wow. Where is Will Smith when you really need him, huh?”Now, Kimmel’s joke was obviously a reference to Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, apparently in retaliation for a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Academy Awards co-host Amy Schumer stopped by “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” on Wednesday to share her thoughts on Will Smith’s slap of Chris Rock — the moment that “really changed the air in the room.”

Arguably one of the more overlooked performances in the oeuvre of Denzel Washington, 1991s “Mississippi Masala,” also starring Sarita Choudhury, marks the second feature film of director Mira Nair. Setting a tender interracial love story against the backdrop of fragile race relations in rural Mississippi, the film, based on a screenplay by Sooni Taraporevala, caresses ideas of heritage, identity, and racial politics into its fold, pondering them with the gentle humanity with which the film is imbued.

Amy Schumer is giving more insight into the tense moments that followed Will Smithslapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars. The 40-year-old comedian was one of the three female co-hosts of the awards show, and was asked while on for her thoughts on Smith receiving a standing ovation for his Best Actor Oscar win just minutes after the shocking slap occurred. «I was backstage, and I knew I had to go out. I was kind of the only host that was going out solo after that, so it really felt like the Situation Room of comedy,» she shared.

I would have made a joke about her boyfriend.”Pinket Smit and US singer Alsina have been involved in an “entanglement”, which she has discussed on her Red Table Talk show.Gervais also mocked people criticising Rock for “joking about [Pinkett-Smith’s] disability”.“Well, I’m going a bit thin – I’m disabled,” Gervais said, pointing to his head.
