I personally don’t think Will Smith should be stripped of his Oscar because he was defending his wife from a comment Chris Rock made about her hair.

# data[].attributes.body
Will smith shouldn’t keep his Oscar since he made someone look horrible in front millions of people. He made him a joke just because of a joke Chris Rock made about his cheating wife why did he not beat that guy up. It seems like he should held accountable about what he is doing ruining someone’s life making him a joke just for a cheating wife.

# data[].attributes.body
Will Smith shouldn’t have his Oscar taken away, he worked very hard to win this Oscar. I don’t think his actions should cause him to lose his award that he put a lot of effort into. Chris Rock should have taken some time to learn some history about the people he was making jokes with, I think if he’d have know about Jada’s condition he wouldn’t have followed through with the joke.

# data[].attributes.body
Will Smith should not be stripped for his Oscar because he worked really hard for that award. He stood up for his wife because Chris Rock made fun of his wife for a condition she has. Chris Rock’s action was very unprofessional of him.

# data[].attributes.body
No I don’t think they should take away his award, because he was standing up for his wife. The speaker guy shouldn’t have made a joke about his wife because I wouldn’t like it if they mad a joke about someone I love. He did the right thing and stood up for his wife. So no I don’t think they should take away his award.

i don’t think he should get his award stripped away. he work very hard to get that award. the joke chris made was unprofessional but he’s a comedian. i just think it was that serious.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I dont think he should be stripped from his award because he earned it from his hard work. Although I don’t think he should’ve used violence, he was defending his wife.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think Will Smith should be stripped of his award. He is an incredible actor and he has worked extremely hard for he achievements in his acting career. His wife Jada got offended from a joke that addresses her hair at the awards. Chris Rock is a very funny comedian but he did not have to make the joke personal and attack Jada like that in-front of all those people. However, there was absolutely no reason for Will Smith to have slapped Chris Rock and made a scene. I do think that Will should face repercussions and be punished for the way he acted but stripping him of his award is uncalled for.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think Will Smit should be stripped from his Oscar. This is because he earned that Oscar fair and square and his actions shouldn’t reflect on that. He was just trying to defend his wife after she got offended from a joke that Chis Rock made about her medical condition, alopecia, that causes her to lose her hair. Chis Rock may have gone too far but that’s his job. Will smith shouldn’t have resorted in violence but that doesn’t mean he didn't work for his award.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think Will Smith should not be stripped of his award. He worked hard his whole actor life to get that award. The joke Chris made was not acceptable but he's a comedian it's what he does. Will shouldn't have taken it so personal.

I don’t Think that will smiths Oscar she be taken away. He may have acted in a unprofessional manner, but he was talking about his wife witch is also unfroffesional.

I don’t think Will Smith should be stripped of his Oscar because even though he did slap the host, Smith still earned the Oscar for his movie.

I believe that Will Smith should not have his award taken away as he worked very hard and he deserves that award. It makes no difference that he acted irresponsibly and inappropriately , he won that award fairly. He won the award on his talent not on the behavior.

# data[].attributes.body
No, because he was defending his wife, which he probably didn’t have to go all the way to slap chris.

# data[].attributes.body
I dont think Will Smith should get his Oscar revoked. He worked so hard for this award and he 100% deserves it. I do belive he shouldve confronted Chris Rock another way, it doesnt mean he should get his award revoked.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think Will Smith should be revoked or his Oscar’s because will smith was just defending his wife who was publicly humiliated but I do not believe he should have done that because his wife has been super unfaithful and did not give him the respect he gives her

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think Will Smith should have his Oscar taken away because his reaction is understandable. When Chris Rock made the joke he should’ve taken the person who he was joking about in consideration and how they would feel. From what I have heard his wife was having a hard time with her medical condition and Will’s reaction was in the heat of the moment. There’s also articles about how Will is already being condemned and that he apologized to Chris which I believe is a good thing.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Will Smith should be stripped away from his Oscar because he showed unprofessionalism during the Oscar’s whenever he hit Chris Rock. Even though what Chris Rock said may have been rude it doesn’t give Will Smith the right to hit him especially on live TV where millions are going to see and in front of other celebrities its wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think Will Smith should have his Oscar revoked. Neither Chris nor Will were in the right. Chris made an insensitive joke that publicly humiliated Jada Smith on National TV. Although, I think Chris Rock should not have made such a rude comment I also don't think Will should've reacted in that manner. Will Smith is hardworking, dedicated, and most likely acted in shock and anger. I don't think this one action should eliminate all the hard work that he put into earning that award. Taking his award away for hitting Chris should not take away from his dedication to his work. Therefore, his award should not be taken away.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe will Smith should not get his Oscar taken away because of something trivial as the mistake he made. Although he should’ve confronted Chris Rock in a different way. Losing his Oscar will scrape off all his hard work.

# data[].attributes.body
While what Will Smith did was very inappropriate I do not think he should loose his Oscar over it. He understands that his actions were wrong and regrets it. Him and Chris Rock have both apologized over what happened. He also worked very hard to earn his award.

# data[].attributes.body
Will Smith should not be stripped of his Oscar. While I do think his actions against Chris Rock should not have happened, it should not result in his award getting taken away. His Oscar was for being the best actor and he worked hard to earn it.

# data[].attributes.body
No, Will Smith’s award should not be confiscated form him. Just because he acted up during the awards shouldn’t keep him from getting something that he worked hard for. He did act unprofessional during the moment, but like I stated before his award shouldn’t be confiscated form him. If you worked hard for something you will want to be award.

# data[].attributes.body
Will Smith should not be stripped of his Oscar because even though he slapped Chris Rock he worked really hard for that Oscar. How would you feel if you worked really hard for something and got but then have it get taken away from you? Plus he already has it there’s nothing you can do now.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Will Smith’s Oscar shouldn't be taken away from him. Even though what had happened between him and Chris Rock I believe he still deserves this reward because he had earned it from his hard work and effort. His actions were a little unprofessional, but at least he had made an apology for Chris Rock and he should be thankful that Chris Rock didn’t press charges.

# data[].attributes.body
I would not take away Will Smiths Oscar. I believe that what he did was right as the Chris Rock was making fun of his Will’s wife's condition. It is a condition that she did not choose to have and her decision to cut it was basically involuntary since it would all fall off either way. The joke was extremely rude towards Jada (Wills Wife) and maybe Will could’ve handled the situation differently but Chris Rock definitely had it coming.

# data[].attributes.body
Will Smith should not be stripped of his Oscar because even though he should not have hit Chris Rock he worked hard to earn it. His actions can’t really be defended but he could apologize and work it out with Chris and the people who host the Oscars to ensure it won’t be taken away.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think Will Smith should have his Oscar revoked. While his actions were inexcusable and he should face consequences for assaulting Chris Rock, he worked hard to receive that award and it wouldn't be fair to get it taken away.

# data[].attributes.body
Will Smith should not be stripped of his Oscar Award. Will Smith won the Oscar because he was the best actor and not because of his actions. Will’s actions may have been excessive and unprofessional but I don't think his actions should revoke his Oscar. Will probably should have waited till after the show to deal with the situation but again I don’t think his actions should revoke his Oscar.

# data[].attributes.body
Although what Will Smith did at the Oscars was unacceptable he shouldn't be stripped of his award, he maybe should have handled the situation in a different manner instead of out right slapping Mr. Rock

Will Smith shouldn’t get his Oscar revoked because he worked really hard for that and even though he slapped Chris Rock, he shouldn’t get an Oscar taken away from him. When Chris Rock told the joke, Will Smith laughed at it. But then he saw his wife and she looked unhappy. The point is, Will thought the joke was funny. His wife didn’t.

Will Smith should have his Oscar revoked. Since he decided to assault Chris Rock over an offensive joke, the Oscar should be revoked. His actions are unacceptable and should even get charged with assault since he attacked someone. The Oscar’s should also set this an example to other actors so they know that assaulting someone is unacceptable.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think he should get his award stripped away from him because you work very hard for your Oscar its not something easy to get at all, but he was defending his wife but then again i don't know because of his past self and i don't know if that was even worth it to defend his wife because his marriage no offense but its a bit to messed up. I feel like will smith kind of made himself look like a fool like a slap come on and he did ruin his wife’s career too tho.

# data[].attributes.body
Will smith should not have his Oscar revoked. His actions were out of line and violent but he did work hard for this award and his actions do not reflect his work and his career. He also issued a public apology to the directors of the Oscars and Chris Rock. He should face consequences but his Oscar should not be taken away. One action doesn't define him as a person.

# data[].attributes.body
Will should keep his Oscar because he still got the academy award. He was still one of the best actors that year and deserved it but he shouldn’t have acted so out of line with slapping Chris.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Will Smith's award should not be taken away because he has worked a long way to get that reward, even though his actions were unprofessional. He could have instead talked about it after the oscars, because it is messed up to go up to someone and slap them in front of over 15million people that were watching. Chris is also to blame of Will's actions, because Chris should have not talked about Will's Wife and instead he could've talked to them before the awards about the joke, and not just say it out loud to everyone and not tell Will and his Wife.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think Will smith should not get his Oscar token away. Although his actions were way out of line, he worked so hard for that Oscar and something like that doesn’t happen all the time.

# data[].attributes.body
Will Smith should not be revoked of his award. While his actions were no where near acceptable and very unprofessional, this is an award he got from his performance and work in a movie. I also do not agree with Chris Rocks comment on Jada but if there was an issue it should have been handled privately and professionally.

# data[].attributes.body
Will smith should not have his Oscar taken away he worked very hard I don’t agree when he slapped Chris Rock.He should face some consequences because Chris is a comedian he makes jokes about people Will Smith should have talked to him after not smack him.Will smith should face some type of consequence you can’t smack a comedian for saying a joke.

# data[].attributes.body
Will Smith should not be stripped of his award. Although what he did was wrong, the Oscar was not only for him, it was for his whole crew. They shouldn't be stripped of the Oscar because of Will Smith's actions, they all worked really hard for this and now all their work would go down the drain. On the other hand, Will Smith should be in trouble because if he wasn't a celebrity and he went up there and slapped Chris Rock, he would 110% be in jail right now. He should face consequences, but his Oscar shouldn't be revoked.

# data[].attributes.body
Will Smith’s Oscar Award should not be revoked. Although his act of violence was unacceptable, he has earned the award. These awards are derived from acting, not from their actions. This was a professional setting and it was frowned upon by many but Will still deserves it. The award is not rewarding him for his actions, but for his career. Smith was acting out in a defense to his wife, he didn’t mean any harm from it.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Will smith shouldn’t have his award taken away. Firstly, he did work hard to receive it. Yes, he could have handled it better but Chris was also in the wrong of making a joke to his wife. Even though he is a comedian, the joke was unprofessional and he shouldn’t have made it in the first place. Will smith did apologize afterwards, and he defended his wife for something she can’t control. It still doesn't mean that he should have gone out aggressively. I also believe that the award had nothing to due with his actions towards Chris. Therefore, in the end, after working hard for years, he should not have it taken away for honoring his wife.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I think that what Will Smith was wrong but I don’t think that he should lose an Oscar that he worked very hard. The reason I believe this is because artists spend years trying to get recognized for their work. This event that happened should not be the reason for someone to lose a valuable award. I also want to put the blame on Chris Rock for saying something that is hurtful. Chris should’ve considered the situation that Jada was in and known not to go there when talking about someone who can’t change the fact of the joke. I believe he could’ve taken a different approach in the matter and this could’ve caused a better outcome and this conversation wouldn’t have needed to be had. In all, I don’t think that someone should be stripped of an OSCAR for a small reasonable misunderstanding.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think Will Smith should get his award revoked because he worked so hard to get this award.What he did was a bit extreme but he was only defending his wife from Chris’s humiliating jokes.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Will Smith should not be stripped of his Oscar. First, yes what he did wasn’t really necessary, but he was defending his wife and what Chris said was kinda unnecessary as well. Even though it was a “joke” Chris joked about something that Will’s wife can not control and is probably insecure about it, so I believe what Will did was deserved. Will Smith did work very hard to get that Oscar and I do believe that, that shouldn’t be taken away over some incident.  He was protecting someone that be dearly loves so, he deserves that Oscar.

# data[].attributes.body
Will Smith should not be stripped of his Oscar. Will worked hard for his Oscar and his actions should be what decides to get it taken away. I understand why Will Smith laid hands on Chris. He was only looking out for his wife and was deeply offended by Chris’s insensitive joke. Chris should have stopped and think about the consequences of making those type of  jokes. It just wouldn’t be right taking away an Oscar from someone who worked hard for it.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think Will Smith should have his Oscar taken away. Will Smith got a Oscar for a reason, because he worked really hard for it. I know what he did was wrong ,but it was a slap not even a punch they are just being over dramatic. Will Smith could’ve done something different ,but he was defending the honor of his wife . I don’t think Will Smith should be punished for honoring someone he loves

# data[].attributes.body
I do not believe Will Smith should have his Oscar revoked because he worked hard for what he got. Although violence isn’t the answer, Chris Rock made a insensitive joke about his wife. It could’ve been handled better but what’s done is done. Will defended his wife, this shouldn’t be a reason for him to get his award that he worked for, taken away. He had a natural reaction.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think that Will smith should be stripped of his Oscar. Chris Rock was very rude and insensitive towards Jada. Will just acted in the mindset that he was defending his wife. If someone were to be saying things about someone you care about whether they were joking or not how would you react? I do agree that the approach that Will took was not exactly an Ideal approach but again, he thought that he was defending his wife. Will worked hard for his Oscar and this incident should not affect the work that he did to get to this part. It would be outrageous to take his Oscar away.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, I believe Will Smith should not be stripped of his Oscar. I mean what he did to Chris was wrong, but at the same time Smith has worked hard to earn himself that award. He’s human and as humans we make mistakes, that doesn’t mean he should have to pay for that for the rest of his life. I also believe that Smith took the joke to personal, he knows that it’s a tradition at the Oscars to make jokes, he could’ve approached the joke differently as well. He could’ve talked to Chris after the event instead of punching him in public.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think that Will Smith should be stripped of his Oscar. He worked hard in order to accomplish gaining one, and this event should not ruin years of work. He was standing up for his wife and although I do believe he was right for being upset, I do think he over reacted. He should have some sort of punishment, but not losing his Oscar.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not believe that Will Smith should have his award revoked. I also believe that neither Will or Chris were in the right. Chris made a joke that publicly humiliated Jada in front of thousands of people and Will did the right thing of defending his wife. Although, I wouldn't have gone as far to assault Chris either. Will Smith is a good person and he most likely reacted this way due to the heat of the moment, anger, and shock but that should not totally eliminate all the hard work that has gone into winning that award. Giving the punishment of taking his award away for hitting Chris is not related to what he received the award for. Therefor, his award shouldn't be taken away.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think Will Smith should have his award revoked because if the work he put in that lead to him receiving the Oscar. Not only this, but Chris Rock made an insensitive joke about Jada Smith about something she can’t control, and while Will Smith shouldn’t have taken the route of action he did, it still doesn’t mean Chris Rock was in the right. Will defended his wife and her honor, and for that his award shouldn’t be taken away.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the circumstances, I do not believe that Will Smiths Oscar should be revoked. Chris Rock's actions were insensitive to the situation. I am not justifying Will Smiths' actions. Will Smith shouldn't have made a scene about it on live television. I do think he should back up his wife, of course, but a slap to the face live might have been drastic. I think raising his voice and standing up for her would have been just as effective. Even though Will Smith's actions were highly unethical, I do not think he should get his Oscar stripped for standing up for his wife.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Will Smith shouldn’t have his Oscar revoked for slapping Chris Rock because the action taken was justified. He was doing so to defend his wife. Although this does in part imply that it is alright to do such an action at or to get an Oscar. That does in part at least does justify some form a punishment but doesn’t justify to take the Oscar that was earned through years of work away.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think that Will Smith should be stripped of his Oscar, because he worked hard for the award in all of his years of acting. When he slapped Chris Rock he was acting out of defense for his wife, and Chris Rock stated the fight by saying mean and hurtful things to Jada Smith .

I think that will smith should not be stripped of his Oscar for hitting Chris rock.Although he is a comedian it does not give him the right to make fun of someone and what they're going through. For example what if someone made fun of you when you were going through something very painful but because they are a comedian it is supposed to be a joke. That is why i think he shouldn’t be stripped of his Oscar.

The Oscars isn’t a place to put up a performance. If he had a problem with what Chris said he should of handled it after the awards. By getting this award it was basically saying he should be awarded for his action.- Alyssa Gonzalez

I think that Will Smith shouldn’t be stripped of his one and only Oscar he has rightfully earned after all these years of acting. Chris rock was the man that made a joke he probably shouldn’t have. All that Will did was protect the name of his wife and any man with a wife and at least 2 brain cells would’ve done the same in that sort of situation.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he shouldn’t be stripped of the award only because he did the work hard for that award. This act of “violence” was provoked by Chris Rock himself and was simply trying to defend and protect his wife.
