    The joke was mean spirited and not funny and should either have been shrugged off or actively shunned.
    Or they could moan about it to their loyal fans on Twitter like everyone else.
    If a comedian is going to be really insulting while hosting then at least do it like Ricky Gervais did at the Golden Globes. :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I remember Julain Clary saying he'd just " fisted Norman Lamont backstage " at some live TV thing

    Are there actually any funny comedians any more! I see Russell Brand has turned into a fruit loop

    Will Smith’s wife has alopecia because of an illness … she’s spoken publicly about it being upsetting for her. A member of my family has suffered from this and I know many sufferers feel embarrassed and humiliated when their hair begins to fall out in handfuls, sometimes leaving them with no option but to crop their hair short. Anyone who has worn a full wig for any length of time will know that it can be an uncomfortable experience. 

    The ‘joke’ was unkind and despicable … however Will Smith and his wife should’ve walked out leaving the whole shebang with egg on their faces because he wouldn’t have been there to accept his award … and then used the resulting publicity to point out what a lowlife Chris Rock is.

    Obelixx, the frocks,(my late mum used to say that!) at the Oscars prove that having money doesn't give you style.

    "A parliament of Crows is an ancient English expression which derives from Germanic folklore. It is due to the belief that crows, which were believed to be as intelligent as humans, would reunite to judge their own who had offended "
    Google knows 😉
