I have heard interviews with Will Smith and I did not like him.  He came off as arrogant and full of himself.  So this behavior was hardly shocking

MG,

I agree with your assessment on Smith; I had a similar view on him even prior to this incident.

Good point about how things change once you have been hit. Adrenaline kicks in and you can become a different person. I have not been in lots of fights, but I have been in a handful when I was younger, and I agree that things change once it starts, especially with any blow to the face or head.

I don't think it was staged myself. All the follow-up stuff from outside bodies suggests it was real. I will certainly concede however that it is possible it was. That's not my personal instinct though. If the Academy wanted to pull a PR stunt I don't think they would have chosen something ugly like this.

I am not about to paint all performers with that sort of broad brush.  I am speaking specifically about Will Smith.  I would say a solid majority of performers, in the categories you mentioned, come off as good or decent people in their interviews, Will Smith was not among them.  He comes off as unlikeable in his interviews and portrayed an attitude that made his extremely poor behavior anything but a shock.

If you read my whole statement I didn
