@@deanshine5201 THANK YOU! The slap is so dumb. Will has deserved an Oscar for awhile now & now that he has it, I’m happy for him. If people want to hold that mess over his head, then it is what it is. However, let us not forget a lot of people in that room or who have been in the room have done a lot worse. One is sitting in prison right now.
Exactly! One of the biggest movie stars of the last 30 years getting his due with the highest award in the industry and he completely overshadows his own moment smh
They waited a few months to upload because they wanna have people keep talking about it. Oscars are dying and it’s sad because cinema is beautiful art form. Corruption and PC world are ruining it
In another life... Will Smith, with his everlasting charisma jumped into the stage, with his characteristic energy. He hugged Samuel L. Jackson making a joke to his ear that we will never get to know, they laughed as Uma gave him his diserved Oscar. He held it into the sky. He thanked his wife and children, he thanked Richard Williams and his family, he thanked his friends in the industry and the public that supported him through all of these years. We were reminded of his origins in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and how many considered him overdue. He made one last joke like only he knows how to do it. Then he left happy, with the biggest achievement of his career in his hand, and a Will Smith renaissance incoming. That's how it went in another life.
You can in some ways see the sadness in Denzels eyes for Will at 4:58 because deep down he knows that Will Smith public perception wise will never get passed that slap.
No I think he was proud of himself after that. It was t till the next day that he got backlash. Keep in mind he’s an actor so he thought it was really dramatic
I really wish we lived in the alternate timeline where Andrew won and this moment was really sweet and wholesome instead of this awfullly awkward and weird scenario😞
Will Smith deserved this Oscar, despite everything that happened this did not take away from that. I wish it didn’t happen either. But we all have human moment, Chris rock is not innocent either.
@@CATDHD so you’ve never heard a verbal assault? Plus he wasn’t supposed to tell that joke. The Academy told him to stick to us strict script, and he decided to deviate and make another joke off the cuff. Do you wanna make jokes about approve it in your own special? The Academy told him not to and look what happened.
I preferred when the Academy had the stairs to the Oscar stage. It is a moment of glory and recognigtion, the winners should have their moment climbing the stairs. The stage was in front of Will and Jada’s table. It was too soon his moment
I loved the new set up. So elegant and the way they framed the winners was beautiful. Having said that, I agree that the set up contributed somehow to Will Smith psychology in that it was close to reach, whereas high stairs it would have been more intimidating and self conscious as well as self reflective of his own actions as it takes an effort to go up there. Also it invites more respect to whoever is up there. Also the usual stadium seating would have been more difficult as it would break a pattern if Will stood up. Or even like last years, tables in front of them would have made the actors feel somewhat protected and a longer effort to stand up. But Will Smith was given vip seats on the front, their own separate space and they were OPEN and exposed to everything on stage. The special treatment encouraged him as well. It doesn't justify him though. It was a beautiful elegant set up but a free range for Will's fragile psychology at the time.
Imagine a comedian roasting someone in the audience in some comedy club or while taping a special and that person goes up on stage and slaps the comedian, goes back to his/her seat, and the audience gives that person a standing ovation
The saddest thing is that after Slap's confusion, no one commented on the fact that Will Smith broke a 14 Year Fast because since 2008 a Black Actor hasn't won in that Category. 🏆👨🏿💼
I thought I was the only one who thought of that this should of been a great moment we need more black excellence barely not to many black Male actors win in the main role hell Halle berry is the only women that has won best actress
@@Tj82480 this should of been a great moment, they could of done a lot with it, people should of known this. This could of prevented, but this should of never happened.
He's glad that another Black actor won Best Actor. Will is only the 5th one to do so (Sydney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Forest Whitaker and Will Smith).
@@MFieldHD It's about nationality too. I'm no actor but I'm still proud of the handful of Aussies that get to go on that stage and collect their Oscar.
It's really sad that the biggest night of his career is marred by the biggest mistake he's ever made.... 20 years or even more down the line he would be remembered more for smacking a comedian than for winning an Academy Award for this brilliant performance.... Sad, but it's the truth....

@@nationalcoasternews5798 the whole ceremony was a mess but the speeches were great. I only care about the filmmakers since a few colleagues of mine did get nominated for animation.
@ Cameo 101- I agree. Will had some tough competition back then. Forest Whitaker was nominated for the Last King of Scotland and he won that night. If Whitaker wasn't in that category that night, Will would've won for The Pursuit of Happiness.
Smith’s portrayal of Richard Williams was just OUTSTANDING. A memorable performance in a very good movie. A deserved Academy Award. Also loved Aunjanue Ellis, her performance is a force of nature in the movie. Sad that his moment of glory was overshadowed by a moment of violence
On one hand, it’s really wonderful to see WS finally winning an Oscar after all these years; on the other hand, it’s really sad to see that this defining moment was overshadowed by a moment of impulsive violence.
He heard the joke, got up, walked all the way towards Chris and slapped him. He could've stopped anytime. That wasn't "a moment of impulsive violence". That was a straight b*tch move.
The Fresh Prince FINALLY won his long awaited Oscar, though I reckon that we'd all like to pretend that it was the only time he'd graced the stage that evening.
@Joey Baseball wow you think Jamie Foxx was a rapper ? How foolish of you. R&B isn’t rap goofy. !!!! Only a white Person would say that and Ali was a wannabe rapper. He never has any studio albums
I feel kinda sorry for him. Will is probably one of the biggest actors we know and this was his FIRST Oscar and none of that mattered in that moment because of that slap. I just think it’s so crazy, this was this man’s most important moment probably a moment he’s dreamed about forever and you can hear in his voice and just everyone’s face that they know it doesn’t matter and the world won’t remember that night for him winning his first Oscar. It’s also ironic he talks about having to deal with embarrassment and having to continue on…something Chris had to do because of his little moment of anger.
i mean i dont feel sorry for him because he CHOSE to slap chris, he brought this on himself. yes its sad that no one will ever rmemeber this because everyone will only remember the slap, but it also took away from all the other winners that night bc all the attention was on wills slap. i dont even know who else one, everything was abt wills slap. he brought this on himself so he deserves the outcome
Some things I notice rewatching this and looking closely •Diane Warren isn’t clapping •Andrew Garfield’s smile when Will won seems strained •Jason Momoa half-heartedly clapping Yikes 😬
I know people will disagree with me, but I think Andrew Garfield should have won! He was amazing in "Tick, Tick...Boom!" as the late, great Jonathan Larson!
6:06- *I am not crying for winning an award. It's about being able to shine light on all of the people*. I think that's the most common lie most winners tell on Oscar's podium lol
I agree. I've seen both performances and Garfield gave a career defining one. But I would have been ok with either nominee winning except for Smith. (and not just because of the incident, but because in my opinion it wasn't the best performance, he won because he was overdue).
I don’t want to assume your that you’re religious but in what we believe, this is work of the devil. Anger and grudges is all coming from the devil, and I am proud of will for being able to admit that what he did was evil. Saying that it’s work of the devil does not mean he’s putting the blame on him. It’s still his fault for not holding back and he did already say that you need to smile and act like everythings okay. You really can’t let things affect you especially during the oscars.
Really? What about a Kevin Smith movie, or a Roman Polanski movie or a Harvey Weinstein movie or a Bill Cosby movie? Those 4 men did far worse things than Will did here.
@@isaacbeeby2528 but they didn't do it at the Oscars in live tv. Like it or not Smith tarnished his reputation that night. Many people will not look at him in the same way again.
@@lisabradford8180 You people sound so silly when you say that it didn’t happen on live TV. There are men who have raped and beat women, but for some reason you people draw the line at a slap because it was on TV. I guess men should beat and rape women on TV for there to be outrage. 🙄
@Charles Irving believe me, anything that celebrities do isn't a factor in my life. the chances of will smith's actions "overtaking" me are non existent. while i think what he did was foolish, self sabotage, i really don't care otherwise.
Yet it didn't happened. Perhaps the fact that he was not allowed to participate in future Oscar activities may have been good enough to sanction him. Heck, even dirty and terrible people with sexual misconduct like Kevin Spacey, Roman Polanski and Harvey Weinstein didn't have their Oscars returned, and so what's the point of this argument???
I have two questions: 1 - Why didn't Frances Mcdormand present Oscars? 2 - With Smith expelled from the Academy, who will present the best actress category next year?
@@kipwalker3455 That's the question, since most of previous Best Actress winners usually tend to present the Best Actor category and its declaration of that win of a category, every Oscar ceremony. So, probably, this has either got to do with Frances Mcdormand's personal decision or the Academy's decision.
I assume that Frances was busy. As for who gives it out next year, probably some Hollywood veteran will be given the honor. Maybe they can convince Jack Nickleson or Daniel Day Lewis.
I was always wondering when Will Smith would win an Oscar. He did for King Richard. But it left a bad taste in my mouth after what happened BEFORE he won the award.
His performance in King Richard was amazing and he deserved the Oscar. We all have done something that was wrong and not proud of (whether it was on camera or not). I hope both men are doing well, mentally.
@@Jsissom74 okay? Chris didn’t press charges so why am I going to dwell on it? People like you want everyone to continue to be upset over this slap. It happened, it’s over. Many people gave their opinion on it and moved on. I wish both men peace.
@Charles Irving Totally disagree. 10 years ago in a verbal argument I splashed water on the other guy. I was arrested and spent a year on probation. The police should have been called, Will should have been led out in handcuffs and charged with a crime. He should have been found guilty and he should have been made to serve the community in manual labor in public. That message would have been seen by kids throughout the country., This message is, "Be a big-shot and the laws do not apply to you." "We" have no right to forgive a crime that was not perpetrated against us.
I was sickened with everyone that was there, they did nothing but gave Will Smith a standing ovation for assaulting Chris Rock on national television, these are the same hypocrites that complain about violence all the time when they virtue signal it but they promote or glorify violence in movies and condone Will Smith’s actions for he did, when they did that, they had lost all credibility and that took away so much from them, they not only condone it but they encourage it, hollywood are spineless and a joke, Chris Rock should had got a standing ovation for handling the situation well and kept his composure!!
@@trinaq he laughed, he cried, he got mad, he's happy again, he got sad, he partied and last but not least, he apologized on social media, all happened in a few hours, He's such a versatile actor 😂😂
@@AlejandroRivera3031 big mistake that he didn't apologize to Chris in this speech but rather after he partied and get drunk. Even the producer expected Will to apologize on stage if he won the Oscar but turned out he didn't
A lot of people were angry that he got a standing ovation. In the heat of the moment people were still in shock and I get it. As humans it is easy to say what "we would have done" the honesty is that you just don't know in that moment. FACTS
Now he has ten years to do any wild passion project he wants without worrying about Oscar nominations. Podcasts, tv shows, I Am Legend prequel, Hancock 2, you name it!
All I’m hearing when Will is giving his acceptance speech is “I love slapping people” “I will continue to slap people” “I have absolutely no regrets for what I did to Chris”
3 Years ago when Samuel L Jackson presented an Oscar to Spike Lee his reaction was just as happy as this one at 2:02 😀 Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllll Smiiiiith
I totally expected Will Smith to win this award as soon as I watched King Richard cause I thought he gave a phenomenal performance, I not defending his slap towards Chris Rock but he should never have his Oscar given up because of it, voting was already decided long before the incident and let’s be honest, slapping a comedian on live TV is FAR and away not the worst behavior any Oscar winner has ever shown *cough* Harvey Weinstein.
Those who have exhibited worse behaviour, haven’t done it on the Oscars stage on Live TV! Will violated the rules and conduct of the actual Oscars ceremony… Russell Crowe, who was bound to win the Oscar for A Beautiful Mind, was outvoted at the last moment after his altercation at BAFTA awards with a TV producer, in favour of Denzel Washington…
@@gauravw6947 listen I know it is bad but this slap is most cringes at the awards show but it really entertaining I mean its so bad so it's good you know I mean
I saw King Richard. It was a great movie and Will Smith portrayed Richard Willians to perfection. I also remember watching some tennis games as a kid so I knew of Venus Williams. It's just a shame that what happened....happened before Will Smith won his Oscar for best actor in King Richard. I knew of Aunjanue Ellis before that movie though. The first time I saw Aunjanue was in the biopic about Ben Carson which starred Cuba Gooding Jr
@@edkeatonI saw that movie but I didn't know that it was Aunjanue Ellis. Another movie couple would be Lawrence Fishburne and Angela Bassett. First in What's Love Got To Do With It, then in Boyz N The Hood and then Akeelah and the Bee.
Pay attention to the background and watch closely : One of the greatest movie makers ever, Denis Villeneuve wasn't standing and wasn't clapping. I respect him for this. Kevin Costner wasn't happy about it too. No one should clap for Smith.
4:48 Denzel warned him. What he said could not have been more true. Even though his action was uncalled for, I still highly respect this man. I'm glad his speech was uploaded.
What bothers me is that it's evident that Will Smith only won this Oscar because of his career as a whole and not because of the movie itself, King Richard Is Good But No Masterpiece. My supporters were for Benedict Cumberbatch or even Andrew Garfield. 🏆🙁🙁🙁
that beginning though, I literally thought I'm having a stroke or something, just clicking on a video and boom there's Samuel L. Jackson yelling around, that music and that dance going on
A lot has been made about those present who stood up when Smiths name was called. But the ovation was one of the shortest for an acting winner in recent years - even Casey Affleck got a longer ovation. Also I think a lot of people got to their feet in order to make a run for it in case the guy went full psycho again.
Good thing Frances McDormand last years leading actress winner didn’t show up she would’ve refused to give him the award after the way he conducted himself. This clip will be here forever, and when we look back on it, hopefully by that time Smith will have gotten the help he needs. He will forever be associated with this night and his horrible behavior, and every time he looks at that award he will remember the assault. How can people stand for this man, and how could he be not taken out of that theater? You choose the behavior you choose the consequences, so at least he got some comeuppance via the Academys 10 year ban. But the Smith up there on screen, the facade he took years to cultivate is dead and gone. I think it was a run of the mill performance, but he was well liked (that all has changed), third nomination, and has made a lot of money for the industry. So what’s done is done.
saludos a todos los que ven el comentario q lastima una celebración tan única q se vino a opacar por un recuerdo inolvidable de algo q va a quedar toda la vida en video todo por no controlar emociones no por eso dejas de ser un gran ser humano Will
Academy, next year we want to see all the 23 awards during the broadcast, great movies are what they are because there're very talented people that work very hard, especially off-camera and sadly they don't receive the amount of recognition that they deserve. I feel so sad and sorry for all the workers that worked for a lifetime dreaming of one day winning an oscar and when the moment finally comes, they'd their speeches cut off from the live transmission.
This is Will Smith's third Oscar nomination(all nominations in the Best Actor category) and his first win. He swept this award season winning the Golden Globe Award, the SAG Award, the Critics Choice Award, the BAFTA Award and the Academy Award for Best Actor. Not considering the slap, he actually deserved this win. Both Benedict Cumberbatch and Andrew Garfield have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor twice and I really hope they could win the Academy Award for Best Actor in the future.

Smith’s portrayal of Richard Williams was just OUTSTANDING. A memorable performance in a very good movie. A deserved Academy Award. Also loved Aunjanue Ellis, her performance is a force of nature in the movie. Sad that his moment of glory was overshadowed by a moment of violence
Well said 🙌🏾
That moment SLAPPED!
@@mackielunkey2205 niceeee
@@kadenyungkwok3653 yep
He did amazing
On one hand, it’s really wonderful to see WS finally winning an Oscar after all these years; on the other hand, it’s really sad to see that this defining moment was overshadowed by a moment of impulsive violence.
On one hand, it's really wonderful to see WS finally winning an Oscar after all these years. On the other hand is Chris Rock's face.
He heard the joke, got up, walked all the way towards Chris and slapped him. He could've stopped anytime. That wasn't "a moment of impulsive violence". That was a straight b*tch move.
@@ollie2244lool
Samuel L. Jackson is a legend
He’s a great action star.
this how you overshadow your biggest career moment.
The Fresh Prince FINALLY won his long awaited Oscar, though I reckon that we'd all like to pretend that it was the only time he'd graced the stage that evening.
If it wasn’t for the slap, this would’ve actually feel earned
Will Smith became the first rapper to win an acting Oscar, 33 years after he became the first musician to win a Grammy for rap music.
@@jwelch5742 no he isn't the first rapper. Jamie Foxx and Mahershala Ali both won Oscars before Will Smith.
@@joeybaseball7352 Well, that's a fact right there.
@Joey Baseball wow you think Jamie Foxx was a rapper ? How foolish of you. R&B isn’t rap goofy. !!!! Only a white Person would say that and Ali was a wannabe rapper. He never has any studio albums
I feel kinda sorry for him. Will is probably one of the biggest actors we know and this was his FIRST Oscar and none of that mattered in that moment because of that slap. I just think it’s so crazy, this was this man’s most important moment probably a moment he’s dreamed about forever and you can hear in his voice and just everyone’s face that they know it doesn’t matter and the world won’t remember that night for him winning his first Oscar. It’s also ironic he talks about having to deal with embarrassment and having to continue on…something Chris had to do because of his little moment of anger.
Why would u feel sorry for this spineless bastard ? It was his own actions! No one forced him to slap Chris! I Hope will keeps getting humiliated
i mean i dont feel sorry for him because he CHOSE to slap chris, he brought this on himself. yes its sad that no one will ever rmemeber this because everyone will only remember the slap, but it also took away from all the other winners that night bc all the attention was on wills slap. i dont even know who else one, everything was abt wills slap. he brought this on himself so he deserves the outcome
Some things I notice rewatching this and looking closely
•Diane Warren isn’t clapping
•Andrew Garfield’s smile when Will won seems strained
•Jason Momoa half-heartedly clapping
Yikes 😬
I know people will disagree with me, but I think Andrew Garfield should have won! He was amazing in "Tick, Tick...Boom!" as the late, great Jonathan Larson!
This guy gets it!
I fully agree
He didn't win a single other award for his role all season, but you think he deserved Will's Oscar. The delusion is real.
@@AnaisKarim if you think someone favoring one actor over another is delusion I think you need to go outside
@@AnaisKarim bro won the golden globes, do some research with that fingers. the audacity of calling someone delusional is insane 💀
That speech really slaps, I can't keep this win out of my mouth.
5:48 there was a perfect opportunity there to say “and to chris rock for just now” at the end
And he DIDN'T. Unbelievable.
6:06- *I am not crying for winning an award. It's about being able to shine light on all of the people*. I think that's the most common lie most winners tell on Oscar's podium lol
In his OSCAR speech, it defines all the goodness and the sadness
That wasn't why he was crying either lol
@@iantuitionhe knew his career was about to take a nosedive
Band was probably too scared to even try playing him off 😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha
Andrew Garfield should’ve won
Fax I loved him as an actor specially in spider man , the best spider man for me
Denzel Washington>
I agree. I've seen both performances and Garfield gave a career defining one. But I would have been ok with either nominee winning except for Smith. (and not just because of the incident, but because in my opinion it wasn't the best performance, he won because he was overdue).
Exactly, His performance in Tick Tick Boom was amazing like really good!, I watched King richard but i felt that Andrew deserved it more than Smith
Unbelievable he displaced emotions and blame the devil. He hit a man on the Oscar's. He is not love but hate and dysfunction.
I don’t want to assume your that you’re religious but in what we believe, this is work of the devil. Anger and grudges is all coming from the devil, and I am proud of will for being able to admit that what he did was evil. Saying that it’s work of the devil does not mean he’s putting the blame on him. It’s still his fault for not holding back and he did already say that you need to smile and act like everythings okay. You really can’t let things affect you especially during the oscars.
Harsh and judgy statement right there..
@erinnicole7592 You are correct. Chris Rock was the victim, and Will Smith is the perpetrator.
This was a total rollercoaster 😂
Yep that Oscars night was indeed a rollercoaster. The slap episode and Will Smith winning an award
I can tell Will Smith was having a hard time hiding the fact that he was riding a giant rollercoaster in his mind.
I'm surprised the comment section hasn't been blocked
It's just the Academy's way of letting cowards hiding behind anonymity blow off some steam.
Will clapping the hardest for himself 🤣
I already forget that he won an oscar that night, and it’s not even 1 year ago
I can’t look at a Will Smith movie the same again 😢
Really? What about a Kevin Smith movie, or a Roman Polanski movie or a Harvey Weinstein movie or a Bill Cosby movie? Those 4 men did far worse things than Will did here.
@@isaacbeeby2528 but they didn't do it at the Oscars in live tv. Like it or not Smith tarnished his reputation that night. Many people will not look at him in the same way again.
@@lisabradford8180 You people sound so silly when you say that it didn’t happen on live TV. There are men who have raped and beat women, but for some reason you people draw the line at a slap because it was on TV. I guess men should beat and rape women on TV for there to be outrage. 🙄
@Charles Irving believe me, anything that celebrities do isn't a factor in my life. the chances of will smith's actions "overtaking" me are non existent. while i think what he did was foolish, self sabotage, i really don't care otherwise.
Dramatic af move onnnn
The crowd clapping is a slap in the face of human decency. I don't care if this was king Louis no one is better and above others. No one.
His Oscar should be returned.
Yet it didn't happened. Perhaps the fact that he was not allowed to participate in future Oscar activities may have been good enough to sanction him.
Heck, even dirty and terrible people with sexual misconduct like Kevin Spacey, Roman Polanski and Harvey Weinstein didn't have their Oscars returned, and so what's the point of this argument???
Too bad he didn’t get the nameplate to engraved on his trophy after he won
Per the academy rules he can’t return it
Cry more you 🤡.
I was impressed that the academy posted the official video ❤️🙌🏽🙏🏽
I was more impressed they didn't disable the comments.
Andrew deserved the award
1:25 Bradley Cooper doesn't even care he's intently stuck on the slap
I have two questions:
1 - Why didn't Frances Mcdormand present Oscars?
2 - With Smith expelled from the Academy, who will present the best actress category next year?
That's a questions to be answered by next year. Let time decide it.
@@ajpat9620 But why didn't Frances return to present since she won last year?
@@kipwalker3455 That's the question, since most of previous Best Actress winners usually tend to present the Best Actor category and its declaration of that win of a category, every Oscar ceremony.
So, probably, this has either got to do with Frances Mcdormand's personal decision or the Academy's decision.
I assume that Frances was busy. As for who gives it out next year, probably some Hollywood veteran will be given the honor. Maybe they can convince Jack Nickleson or Daniel Day Lewis.
@@BP-dn9nv But Jack is retired
I was always wondering when Will Smith would win an Oscar. He did for King Richard. But it left a bad taste in my mouth after what happened BEFORE he won the award.
His performance in King Richard was amazing and he deserved the Oscar. We all have done something that was wrong and not proud of (whether it was on camera or not). I hope both men are doing well, mentally.
@@Jsissom74 okay? Chris didn’t press charges so why am I going to dwell on it? People like you want everyone to continue to be upset over this slap. It happened, it’s over. Many people gave their opinion on it and moved on. I wish both men peace.
@Charles Irving Totally disagree. 10 years ago in a verbal argument I splashed water on the other guy. I was arrested and spent a year on probation. The police should have been called, Will should have been led out in handcuffs and charged with a crime. He should have been found guilty and he should have been made to serve the community in manual labor in public. That message would have been seen by kids throughout the country., This message is, "Be a big-shot and the laws do not apply to you." "We" have no right to forgive a crime that was not perpetrated against us.
No, it was not. No, he did not.
I was sickened with everyone that was there, they did nothing but gave Will Smith a standing ovation for assaulting Chris Rock on national television, these are the same hypocrites that complain about violence all the time when they virtue signal it but they promote or glorify violence in movies and condone Will Smith’s actions for he did, when they did that, they had lost all credibility and that took away so much from them, they not only condone it but they encourage it, hollywood are spineless and a joke, Chris Rock should had got a standing ovation for handling the situation well and kept his composure!!
I think they were just giving credit where it was due. Incident aside, he earned the award
What a nice gesture of Smith, accepting the Oscar in behalf of Jason Isaacs’ masterful performance in Mass. But why he makes the speech about himself?
he's that kind of actor
Because the award went to him
The speech we were NOT waiting for
Indeed, he apologised to everyone EXCEPT for Chris Rock.
Speak for yourself
@@trinaq he laughed, he cried, he got mad, he's happy again, he got sad, he partied and last but not least, he apologized on social media, all happened in a few hours, He's such a versatile actor 😂😂
@@800Ms-k6n still he twice already to Chris Rock
@@AlejandroRivera3031 big mistake that he didn't apologize to Chris in this speech but rather after he partied and get drunk. Even the producer expected Will to apologize on stage if he won the Oscar but turned out he didn't
Top 3
1. Will Smith
2. Andrew Garfield
3. Benedict Cumberbatch
Say what you will about him, but, incident aside
Smith’s performance in King Richard was phenomenal and he rightfully won that Oscar
No, Cumberbatch's and Washington's performances were so much better than that personal superation shit.
@@osvaldosandovallazcano898 😂😂Epic comment failure
Yeah Cody you are correct
Andrew Garfield gave the best of the best. So the oscars should be like the "The Academy of Life time Achievements "
A lot of people were angry that he got a standing ovation. In the heat of the moment people were still in shock and I get it. As humans it is easy to say what "we would have done" the honesty is that you just don't know in that moment. FACTS
Now he has ten years to do any wild passion project he wants without worrying about Oscar nominations. Podcasts, tv shows, I Am Legend prequel, Hancock 2, you name it!
Am I am legend prequel? Like an I am legend without the zombies then? Hell nah
Unless he gets cancelled and won't be allowed to.
Nope, most of his projects are cancelled or put on hold for now. He literally messed up his life from one slap.
He CAN still be nominated or win an Oscar. He is only banned from visiting it.
Hancock 2 it would be perfect for him
All I’m hearing when Will is giving his acceptance speech is “I love slapping people” “I will continue to slap people” “I have absolutely no regrets for what I did to Chris”
my man will smith just got my full respect when he steps up to defend his wife when her boyfriend wasn’t around to do so
😂😂😂
Love will smith
You are delusional if you think he deserved respect that night. Same goes for the 39 idiots who liked your comment.
The only winner who didn't received 100% standing ovation.
3 Years ago when Samuel L Jackson presented an Oscar to Spike Lee his reaction was just as happy as this one at 2:02
😀 Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllll Smiiiiith
Will, you deserved your award DEFINITELY but you now need to lay low and hopefully it will boil over
I totally expected Will Smith to win this award as soon as I watched King Richard cause I thought he gave a phenomenal performance, I not defending his slap towards Chris Rock but he should never have his Oscar given up because of it, voting was already decided long before the incident and let’s be honest, slapping a comedian on live TV is FAR and away not the worst behavior any Oscar winner has ever shown *cough* Harvey Weinstein.
This vídeo should not be here, even if he had deserved to win.
@@leonardodp34 just what I was thinking 👍 👍
Those who have exhibited worse behaviour, haven’t done it on the Oscars stage on Live TV! Will violated the rules and conduct of the actual Oscars ceremony… Russell Crowe, who was bound to win the Oscar for A Beautiful Mind, was outvoted at the last moment after his altercation at BAFTA awards with a TV producer, in favour of Denzel Washington…
@@gauravw6947 listen I know it is bad but this slap is most cringes at the awards show but it really entertaining I mean its so bad so it's good you know I mean
Cough Roman Polanski
2:26 Disappointed to see PTA giving the slapper a standing ovation.
Yeah I think he's friends with Chris too, probably just doesn't want to get shit for being the only one not doing it but still
I saw King Richard. It was a great movie and Will Smith portrayed Richard Willians to perfection. I also remember watching some tennis games as a kid so I knew of Venus Williams. It's just a shame that what happened....happened before Will Smith won his Oscar for best actor in King Richard. I knew of Aunjanue Ellis before that movie though. The first time I saw Aunjanue was in the biopic about Ben Carson which starred Cuba Gooding Jr
Aunjanue Ellis had also played Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s wife in the film, "Men of Honor." (2000).
@@edkeatonI saw that movie but I didn't know that it was Aunjanue Ellis. Another movie couple would be Lawrence Fishburne and Angela Bassett. First in What's Love Got To Do With It, then in Boyz N The Hood and then Akeelah and the Bee.
After such an unfortunate event, it seems very interesting that people applaud as if nothing had happened. Of course the show must go on.
This would've been the greatest moment in Oscar history if that "slap" never happened.
Pay attention to the background and watch closely : One of the greatest movie makers ever, Denis Villeneuve wasn't standing and wasn't clapping. I respect him for this. Kevin Costner wasn't happy about it too. No one should clap for Smith.
Cry more you 🤡.
For me who deserved the Oscar was Andrew Garfield
I really wish things had been different. I use to say, “I’m the next Will Smith.” Now it just feels different. Happy for his win though. 🔥🔥🔥
Think you mean it HITS different now 😳
@@yungpapi I see what you did there
Actors are humans after all
Why would you want to be like will smith he's an actor
4:48 Denzel warned him. What he said could not have been more true. Even though his action was uncalled for, I still highly respect this man.
I'm glad his speech was uploaded.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What bothers me is that it's evident that Will Smith only won this Oscar because of his career as a whole and not because of the movie itself, King Richard Is Good But No Masterpiece. My supporters were for Benedict Cumberbatch or even Andrew Garfield. 🏆🙁🙁🙁
Who cares
who cares about king richard the movie here ? we are talking about his personal performance... even i was backing bumbercatch but i m not disappointed
Who cares what you think
@@blackguyofthesouth2161 and who cares about what you care ?
I felt Andrew should have got it, but will smith was amazing in king Richard
he started to get hysterical toward the very end lmao
that beginning though, I literally thought I'm having a stroke or something, just clicking on a video and boom there's Samuel L. Jackson yelling around, that music and that dance going on
A lot has been made about those present who stood up when Smiths name was called. But the ovation was one of the shortest for an acting winner in recent years - even Casey Affleck got a longer ovation. Also I think a lot of people got to their feet in order to make a run for it in case the guy went full psycho again.
Come on... Stop judging. He made a mistake, like we all do. But he is a humble man, to even recognize it.
👍👍👍
👍🏼👍🏼
Sadly, it seems human beings are quicker to condemn than to forgive.
I’m just curious to know what an accomplished man like Will Smith must have been going through to do what he did.
Good thing Frances McDormand last years leading actress winner didn’t show up she would’ve refused to give him the award after the way he conducted himself. This clip will be here forever, and when we look back on it, hopefully by that time Smith will have gotten the help he needs. He will forever be associated with this night and his horrible behavior, and every time he looks at that award he will remember the assault. How can people stand for this man, and how could he be not taken out of that theater? You choose the behavior you choose the consequences, so at least he got some comeuppance via the Academys 10 year ban. But the Smith up there on screen, the facade he took years to cultivate is dead and gone. I think it was a run of the mill performance, but he was well liked (that all has changed), third nomination, and has made a lot of money for the industry. So what’s done is done.
The way Uma and Sam announced Will Smith’s name as the winner, u just knew Will Smith was gonna get cooked lmao
I do think he went through A LOT during his career. A lot of abuse and mistreatment. And it all overwhelmed him that night.
I’m here after finding out they been separated since 2016. 👏🤚🤚👏👏👏👏

saludos a todos los que ven el comentario q lastima una celebración tan única q se vino a opacar por un recuerdo inolvidable de algo q va a quedar toda la vida en video todo por no controlar emociones no por eso dejas de ser un gran ser humano Will
Academy, next year we want to see all the 23 awards during the broadcast, great movies are what they are because there're very talented people that work very hard, especially off-camera and sadly they don't receive the amount of recognition that they deserve. I feel so sad and sorry for all the workers that worked for a lifetime dreaming of one day winning an oscar and when the moment finally comes, they'd their speeches cut off from the live transmission.
this is the first timw ive seen denzel smile in award ceremony
Feel bad for Will Smith that he didn't Present the Oscar with Jessica in 2023 for Actor and Actress in Leading Role
This is Will Smith's third Oscar nomination(all nominations in the Best Actor category) and his first win. He swept this award season winning the Golden Globe Award, the SAG Award, the Critics Choice Award, the BAFTA Award and the Academy Award for Best Actor. Not considering the slap, he actually deserved this win. Both Benedict Cumberbatch and Andrew Garfield have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor twice and I really hope they could win the Academy Award for Best Actor in the future.
No shit Sherlock
I doubt it, thanks to Jada the Oscars aren't going to be gunsho in giving their acting awards to white guys
