It’s been almost a year since Chris Rock was slapped at the Oscars by Will Smith—and during the comedian’s live streamed Netflix special on Saturday, Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, it felt at times as if Rock would make viewers wait another year to hear his side of the story. But when he finally spoke candidly about the slap, he didn’t hold back…even if, as VF’s Chris Murphy notes, several of the barbs he lobbed might sound familiar to anyone who’s been following Rock’s stand-up for the past 365 days.
Elsewhere in HWD, Savannah Walsh takes us inside this weekend’s Writers Guild of America Awards, while Rebecca Ford does the same for the Indie Spirit Awards; Mel Brooks crows over his latest achievement: the Hulu sequel to his classic comedy History of the World, Part I; and in a new series of articles and videos in partnership with Rolex, filmmakers from Rian Johnson to Sarah Polley explore what cinema means to them.
