Jim Carrey called Hollywood "spineless" over applause for Will Smith

Famous Hollywood actor Jim Carrey condemned the reaction of the audience during the 2022 Academy Awards, which gave Will Smith a standing ovation when he took the stage to receive his long-awaited award. "I got sick of the applause. I felt that Hollywood is just spineless in the mainstream. It confirms that we're not a cool club at all anymore," he said.
In Kerry's opinion, Smith's antics marred the celebration, not just for the injured Chris Rock, but for the other nominees as well. "A lot of people have worked very hard to get to this place. To get through this moment, to be rewarded for their hard work that they did. It's only apparent ease, and it's not easy at all to go through what it takes when you're nominated for an Oscar. It's a challenge. Also that (on his part) it was such a selfish act that overshadowed it all," he added.
According to Kerry, if he were Chris Rock, "he would have announced that he was suing for $200 million," because "the insult captured on the video will now be with us forever." "No one has the right to go on stage and hit someone just because of the words they said," he concluded.
