It was a moment of shock that had washed away – and is probably at the same time this year’s Oscars scandal: in the middle of the show, US actor Will Smith suddenly got up, ran onto the stage – and gave comedian Chris Rock one hearty slap. What had happened – and what else was there to see at the presentation of the coveted film prizes? The abstract.

In the middle of the Oscars, Will Smith beat comedian Chris Rock
That slap really rattled! Actor Will Smith caused a scandal in the middle of the ceremony when he ran onto the stage and slapped his colleague Chris Rock in the face. He then returned to his seat and shouted loudly twice in Rock’s direction, “Keep my wife’s name out of your damn mouth!”

What happened? Rock previously reached out to Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and quipped, “GI Jane 2 – I can’t wait to see this.” – a nod to the movie GI Jane, in which Demi Moore turns her head as a soldier shaved. Jada Pinkett Smith has been open about her hair loss in the past. Will Smith laughed at first, then got up from his seat. It was unclear whether it was an actual outburst of anger or a prearranged scene.

However, a video of the scandal also shows that Smith does not really look amused when he yells in Rock’s direction after the slap in the face – and the hall also seems to be shocked. For a moment, even Chris Rock has a hard time finding words. “Wow, Will Smith beat the shit out of me,” he said at first, amused. Then after the roar attack, a puzzled look, a hesitation. “It was the greatest night in television history.”
–Otherwise, the ceremony was glamorous as usual. The tragic comedy “Coda” won the Oscar for best picture. The film, about a girl growing up in a deaf fisherman’s family, won a total of three awards. This is the first time a film from a streaming service has won the Oscar in this category. Most of the awards went to the sci-fi epic Dune, including Best Score and Best Visual Effects.
Will Smith is said to have apologized after the slap
Actress Jessica Chastain won the Oscar for Best Actress for The Eyes Of Tammy Faye. And actor Will Smith was also able to celebrate after the beating attack: he won the Oscar for best actor for “King Richard”. In tears, he said, among other things, that he wanted to be an ambassador of love… Incidentally, he apologized after the award ceremony – and said in an interview that he hoped to be invited again.

Of course, the war in Ukraine also played a role in the award ceremony. During the broadcast, a moment of silence was called for: “We ask you to support Ukraine in any way you can.” Some guests wore blue ribbons with the words “WithRefugees”. Actor Sean Penn had previously called for a boycott of the gala if it took place without Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He himself would “melt down” his two Oscar statues in protest, Penn said. Selenskyj was not added to the Dolby Theater.
