Revoke his award. He's a piece of shit.

Unlikely. No matter how it happened, it gave the Oscars a buzz it hasn't had in a very long time. Publicly, they're outraged. Privately, they're ecstatic. The only way they revoke his win is if public outcry gets too great.

Big ratings next year no doubt only to sit through pure tedium of two hours of technical awards being given to engineers.

He shouldn't ever be allowed back there.

If you have an event where comedians are making jokes about celebrities, you can't allow someone to just go on stage and hit someone when they don't like a joke.

If he's allowed back, no comedian should ever host or present there.

He committed a crime (assault) in front of millions. And he gets a fucking award?!!? Thuggery should mean he is disqualified from from winning at the very least.

Agree. These days crimes and bad behavior get awarded. Not the kind of example we want set.

[–] VanZan (906) 3 years ago

No doubt the Academy will be back next year to lecture us on morals after trying to turning a blind eye to this.

[–] modica (4169) 3 years ago

Probably.
