If Will had kept his face mask on no one would have known it was him to slapped Chris.
This discussion has split many up as to whether it should have happened. Those who have street smarts know Will was stating his dominance over Chris and put him in his place. To the civilized "I wouldn't hurt a fly" group - it was assault and needs to be addressed and dealt with. This rivalry has been in the making for years and for whatever reason - Smith snapped.
I said to my wife later on - "if someone disrespected you like that I probably would have done the same" - so I for one can't judge what had happened.
Truth is time will tell how the Oscars deal with this - let it blow over or take his statue away. What is really sad are the actual moments that were worthy are forgotten like Gaga and Liza - that was special.
