When are the Oscars taking place this year and where?

MIKE FLEMING: Joe, I thought it a good idea to go back and compare our feelings, days after we live-blogged the Academy Awards for Deadline on Sunday. I must say right up front, I am ashamed of the position I took, in respecting Will Smith for standing up for his wife when she was insulted by Chris Rock, because Jada Pinkett Smith has alopecia and that is why she keeps her hair close-cropped. The person I should have lauded was Rock, who had the discipline to keep his cool after being shockingly assaulted onstage. Smith blew what should have been the pinnacle of his inspiring career, and I blew it in not recognizing the incalculable damage he did to his legacy, and the Academy Awards.

The coincidences are uncanny!

Will Smith smacking presenter Chris Rock’s face just moments before the musician’s win for Best Documentary Feature for “Summer of Soul.“Questlove now says he had no idea the altercation between the two men had even occurred because he was practicing Transcendental Meditation before the winner was announced to get into the zone.“When the commercial break was happening, I was just in my [space],” first-time director Questlove said on Monday’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” “So when I opened my eyes, I didn’t realize — why is everyone so quiet? Like, I literally was not present for that whole entire moment,” the 51-year-old musician, whose group is the house band on the talk show, told Jimmy Fallon. Questlove’s win was announced by a shaken Rock, 57, immediately following the incident.“As I’m walking to the stage, I’m kind of putting two and two together, and I realized that that was a real moment, like, maybe three seconds before I spoke words,” the filmmaker added.
