Oh My God! 2022 Oscars was full of surprises last night and legit controversy that made everyone stunned. The winner of the big picture was a big shock for everyone because before the Oscars there were other awards and in that one particular film was dominating.
But yesterday things went different and CODA grabbed the most precious award of the evening. Along with that comedian, Chris Rock also got struck (slapped) by the best actor award winner Will Smith in front of everyone which no one saw it coming at all at Oscars.
At one point people thought it was a whole joke, but nothing got real at that time and the joke turned into violence by one party.
Instead of just discussing the whole thing from above, let’s jump into details and explore the night of stars.
The Academy Awards 2022 – Chris Rock controversy & winners list
Whether it’s BAFTA or Golden Globes everyone predicted that “The Power of Dog” would grab the best picture award, but things have changed and CODA took the spotlight. But it wasn’t the main highlighting moment, Chris Rock and Will Smith stole the whole show with that controversial moment when the latter slapped him at Oscars 2022.
It was shocking for everyone who appeared at the show and for those who don’t know the whole thing let’s have a recap.
Chris Rock appeared to announce and give Best Documentary Award. Meanwhile, he cracked a joke on Will Smith’s wife, “Jada, can’t wait for GI Jane 2,” he said, in an apparent reference to her shaved hairdo which is a result of the hair loss condition alopecia.
Will Smith walked on stage and struck Rock before returning to his seat and shouting: “Keep my wife’s name out of your [expletive] mouth.”
He later apologized on stage.
“I want to apologize to the Academy. I want to apologize to all my fellow nominees,” he said during a tearful acceptance speech for best actor.
“Art imitates life. I look like the crazy father, just like they said about Richard Williams. But love will make you do crazy things.”
As per Hollywood’s report, after the incident, a tearful Smith needed to be “pulled aside and comforted” by Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry during an advert break.
“Will and Chris, we’re going to solve that like family. Right now we’re moving on with love,” said Sean “Diddy” Combs, presenting the next section.
Chris Rock has “declined to file a police report” following the event. Plus, it wasn’t the first time Chris Rock made a joke on Pinkett Smith, in 2016’s Oscars where she didn’t join due to lack of diversity in the nominations.
At that time, Chris Rock said, “Jada Pinkett Smith boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties – I wasn’t invited!”
Undoubtedly, there are tons of Oscar viral moments, Ellen’s selfie, 2017 best picture mix-up, and now this Will Smith punched Chris Rock will be remembered forever.
Apart from this whole drama and shocking best picture winner. Dune won six awards in total including technical categories including best visual effects and best cinematography.
