Agreed. This show is all about actors acting like everything is ok. Shows you how far people will go to want to be included in Hollywood. Many of those actors need to react in their movies. They should have reacted on this night to Will Smith terrible behavior.
What is even more disgraceful was that they let him stay. What he did was still assault. He should have been ejected by the Academy and that is a disgrace. Chris Rock doesn't want to do anymore Oscar appearances. Even after they offered him a hosting gig last year, he told them F+#@ YOU, ALL!
This man physically assaulted someone and was able to remain in the building and then get a standing ovation when he won this award. Hollywood is twisted as hell
@@Jamestele1 What Hollywood does is simply churn out movies and TV shows. Human behavior is always variable, and affects virtually all industries, not just show biz.
I know right! Why does the academy get an apology? They probably got higher ratings from the slap. A why would the nominees need an apology? Because Will's speech is taking too long?
You just know he´s gonna line up an Oscar bait masterpiece (he´s got 10 years to plan it) for 2032 and make a large public comeback for that years Oscar and be received with a standing ovation.
"Richard Williams was a FIERCE defender of his family..." Translation: "I shield my actions behind someone else's name and reputation because I'm too self-entitled to humbly accept in front of everyone that I f'ed up. Maybe I'll do it later on my social media platforms".
What pisses me off is that famous people get to ramble on and on But God forbid you win an Oscar for best sound you have 3 seconds to thank everyone who ever meant anything to you.
@@DanTUtilizer It's such b******* I remember a couple years ago Renee zellweger went on for like six freaking minutes and then Joaquin Phoenix went up there and his speech was even longer and he was rambling about veganism and how we shouldn't drink milk because it's meant for baby cows and blah blah blah blah blah and then you've got. Like I said, best sound where it's usually multiple people and half the time some of them can't even have their moment because the orchestra starts playing after the second guy. It's ridiculous.
@@DanTUtilizer Not to make this about race, but I also noticed that if a person of color wins in one of these categories or if they're making history then they get to ramble on as well. Like I remember a couple years ago the art director for Black panther didn't get the orchestra cut and she took up the entire time from her white colleague who wasn't allowed to say a single word.
Will used his time to highlight some of the people you would never hear mentioned, but you didn't notice. He shared his time to bring attention to them.
@@AnaisKarim I did hear it. That's not the point. The point is it's not fair but just because someone's famous they get to have all this time but with everyone else who works just as hard if not harder and doesn't make nearly as much money, they have the orchestra playing them off by the time they reach the damn podium.
“God is calling on me to protect people” dude, you slapped a comedian over a joke he made about your wife who has cheated, walked all over you and humiliated you for years. You see vids of Will at the after party laughing, dancing and clearly loving the attention he was receiving
@@ronsadventures2007 This proof of how much control she has over him. He laughed, she gave one look at him and then he decided to hit someone. She is a narcissist, maybe even Borderline sociopathic with the way she acts online too
I can't get inside the mind of what I believe to be a disturbed individual like Will, but he must've been in total denial about the whole thing. I guarantee the next morning it dawned on him and he knew he truly fucked up. He ruined his reputation permanently.
I hate how ppl just act like its ok to disrespect someone's wife. Even if couples argue, they'd be damn if they let other ppl get in between. Chris rock didn't press charges. Get over it
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!
As much as I loved Garfield's electric performance in Tick, Tick, Boom and Cumberbatch's sublime performance in The Power of the Dog, imo Will Smith had a far more impactful performance in King Richard, and it is a well-deserved award for Smith. Not a snub.
@@ainsleymagluyan6083 Yeah Right! I mean is black men between to white man so we differently wanted to give it to the black because he ''deserves more'' because he's black and its the right thing to do.
Absolutely, and on top of that they just let him ramble on. Must have been the longest speech they ever allowed. Disgusting the display of complete contempt they all showed towards Chris. Hollywood is a cesspit 🤮
Not sure if it's just me, but I feel like this is one of the longest Oscars acceptance speeches ever. Kinda ironic that Will would take up so much time, and be given the honor of doing so, after what just occurred earlier in the night.
Mr. Will Smith had the perfect opportunity with the room, National TV, this big stage and the microphone to give a heartfelt sincere apology to Chris Rock in this moment and “the slap” likely would have been squashed that night forever; but he just failed. Just shows he did not feel he was wrong and that’s the problem here. Until he knows he did something wrong, it will never be resolved.
I was so excited to see Will (or Andrew) get the Oscar. Will has been in the industry for so many years and has done great work. This should've been his moment and continued on his amazing career, but now he destroyed it for a woman who doesn't even love him.
Will's career is not destroyed. Obviously, you didn't even watch the video talking about his wife doesn't love him. She was supporting him as he went up there.
That really isn't what happened at all. This was sabotage by Will Packer, Chris Rock and Wanda Sykes. Ratings and publicity for Will Packer and publicity for their tours for Chris and Wanda. Always follow the money to see who actually prospers from fuckery. Those are your culprits. That's why Chris apologized to Wanda. The plan they cooked up didn't go like they wanted. Chris thought Will was just going to play along when he figured out what they were doing, but instead he slapped the shit out of him. Then everyone else shunned Chris for pulling that stunt. Everyone knew he was off script because they knew the script.
@Vanity Fair Banned from attending the Oscars for 10 years, when he hadn't attend in nearly that long, is not career destroying. You don't need the Oscars for a movie career. Ask any big star that makes popcorn movies.
I like how he talked about how he was being called upon to be a river for his people. It evoked beautiful imagery… Especially when he brought the rage of the river into a full on slap unto the face of one of his people. Deep.. Compelling… Rich.
“Love will make you do crazy things” , as everyone in the audience nods. He blamed love and God for the way he acted that night. He could have stabbed CR on stage and they would still give him a standing ovation.
It does make you wonder what Will would've had to do to get removed from the ceremony. Knock Chris out cold? Wail on him multiple times? Use the Oscar as a weapon? Stabbing him might have done the trick, but you can never be too sure.
The crying is definitely not fake, the guy clearly had an emotional breakdown that night, and his head was not clear. We all relate to moments like this where ur not thinking right because ur very overwhelmed. He definitely wasn’t overwhelmed by the joke, but the joke combined with his wife’s reaction was the tipping point (also indication his marriage had a massive contribution to his stress that night) This isn’t a justification at all, but it is an explanation and a somewhat understandable one at that. Just because someone does something wrong it doesn’t mean you demonise them, you should try and understand they’re perspective, still admit their faults and act accordingly, but understand it.
Normally I agree with this, but his reaction was both SUCH an overreaction and so unjustified. A GI Jane joke? You slap the shit out of someone for that, then scream and curse in front of everybody. I agree, he was definitely having some kind of breakdown, and I'm not saying people aren't allowed to make mistakes, even big ones, but he just fucked up so badly in such a public way it's inconceivable to think about.
I understand where he's coming from.....he's a complete asshole that's been put on a pedestal for the majority of his life. He knows he has money and power and can get away with BS that normal people can't. End of story
It's always the dumbest among us who think they know better. The same peeps who think this is fake also think all sports are fixed, the Illuminati runs everything, and the earth is flat. Oh, and the election was stolen.

They should have given him this out of camera. And to top it all the guy starts with "Richard Williams was a defender of his family" already trying to justify his bull shit actions
will smiths power was like a force field at this moment, it has since broken, but for the first month he still had people defending the slap, thats how famous and loved he was.
Maybe Will should return to sitcom. You know, where has-beens go to die. I always say: Death by Television..(or is it Death by Streaming nowadays?). Was this comment approved by the Academy? A lot of my comments have been deleted so I suppose I should only be talking about the weather (a Robin Williams joke if someone is still using forbidden brain power?).
@@ZoolGatekeeper You really have not been keeping up with Will Smith if you imagine he is a has been. He led Aladin to a billion dollar box office in 2019 and Bad Boys 4 Life was the highest grossing domestic film of 2020. Then he did an Oscar quality film in 2021 and won Best Actor in 2022. Maybe you should review his filmography.
@@AnaisKarim He's a has been. Especially after that slap and being banned from the Oscars for the next 10 years. Who will want to work with him after this? I sure as hell wouldn't.
Denzel had already said it was Will's night when he was interviewed before it began. Everyone knew that. But one long time hater couldn't keep it cute.
Will read the room and thought everyone at the Oscar had his back but totally forgetting the Public / entire world on the outside was watching and had an opinion. He thought by making it appear as though he had his wife's back, would have justified his actions and women would have been on his side But oh boy, he was in for a rude awaken. After a few days, the internet world switched on him.
Jim Carrey was right, also Pedro Almodóvar didn’t stand or clap at all, he’s a real one. When it comes to the slap, I felt Will was a ticking time bomb and unfortunately it exploded onto Chris Rock. All that talk about Jada saying she didn’t want to marry Will, The 2pac situation, August Entanglement, people making fun of the situation, Denzel was right The Devil comes for you at your Highest moment.
"... I wanna be an ambassador of that kind of love and care and concern" While minutes ago he slapped a friend of his that was making a joke. While minutes ago he was revealing what kind of person he really is.
Exactly!!! He was trying to pin his behavior on Richard Williams. Williams was a protector, but he never slapped anyone on live tv. He just made sure he was there when his daughters were being interviewed.
“I’m being called on to love people, to protect people and to be a river to my people. I wanna be a vessel of love” 🤦♂️ He truly was so proud of himself for that slap and those tears are so put on it’s hilarious.
In their most frank statements, people always talk not about who they are, but about who they would like to be and thank everyone around, except fate...
Will Smith was one night away from truly immortalizing himself forever as one of the greatest actors of our generation. He had done everything been in everything gotten everything. Any and all his criticisms were mainly because of his parents and his children fucking up. Box office successes, critical acclaim you name it... And he ruined it all, burned it to the ground, one hour before he almost reached it... I cringed hard at his Chris Rock fuckery but man was it tragic
No moment in your life, no matter how much you are overcome with emotion do you resort to violence. This moment for Will, whom I grew up with, makes excuses for what he did. The true mark of an actor is the ability to take and respect your fellow actors. His actions are abysmal and show a side of him that is not worthy for his accolades. As a survivor of physical, emotional and psychological abuse I find the fact he retains his Oscar a travesty to the people who have loved and respected the Academy.
He ruined his reputation with 1 slap. It was very unprofessional of him and to be honest I wouldn’t have been sorry for him if his Oscar was taken away.
Not going to lie, he deserved the Oscar. However, it's so ironic that he slaps Chris Rock the same night he gets his first Oscar. I know he's probably thinking about how much he messed up.
@@Senate300 Why would he care???? Your looking at Will Smith a character we watched on tv. His got the same personality is almost every movie. A normal man over 50 who has over 300 million won't really miss a pay check. And it's pretty obvious he won't pick media over his family.
@@prasad9002 But Mr. Smith ain't a normal man. He's a Hollywood Star with few years left in him in terms of making movies who's stock shrank after this incident that no one will let him forget for the longest time.
This speech will live in infamy not just because he should not have been allowed to stay in the room and give it in the first place, plus it was utterly self indulgent with zero remorse, it was the crowd reaction. If you ever doubted Hollywood types double standards it was on full display here with the clapping and cheering for him and his win. It was not a natural human response and was sickening to watch to be honest.
In response to Will's speech, Cary Elwes of The Princess Bride tweeted, "The 'vessels of love' I have known or admired never acted violently against another human being…"
If he never slapped Chris and made a mention about her wife's hurt feelings during his speech, then the villain would be Chris. But he is just an idiot. It's hard to me to come to realization as Will was the hero of my childhood and youth. I felt about him just as if he was my older brother. It was just so hard to watch all of this sad spectacle.
Every oscar speech has the actor always thanking his wife for showing support and believing in them throughout their life. Imagine not having a wife that neither loves or supports you. You can see Will Smith wanting to thank his wife for supporting but.... He doesnt. Because she never did. He mentions everybody else but only ever mentions her once. Very heartbreaking. Instead Jada is just smirking watching him cry. It's not the Oscar moment he imagined.
You should only feel bad for Chris! Will is the bad guy. Crying bad guys are still bad guys. Will was only crying for himself. Are you deaf? Did you not hear him standing there talking about what a great and noble person he was for what was well over his time limit. Nobody stood up to the bully. Nobody. They gave him a standing ovation. Chris had to watch it all night and see Will literally dancing all night laughing and being sucked up to at the after parties. Get your priorities straight and don't be so easily fooled.
Will Smith is a fierce defender of his son's friend's girlfriend
lmao
Which is also his wife
😂😂😂😂
His best sons friends girlfriend is also his wife
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It still boggles my mind how everyone acted like nothing happened before Will Smith won the Oscar.
The whole night was about him winning. That's what people were expecting. That's why he got those hugs on the stage. It was Will's night.

He was the best character in Social Network
He said God called upon him, but it was Chris that turned the other cheek.
Maybe Will should return to sitcom. You know, where has-beens go to die. I always say: Death by Television..(or is it Death by Streaming nowadays?). Was this comment approved by the Academy? A lot of my comments have been deleted so I suppose I should only be talking about the weather (a Robin Williams joke if someone is still using forbidden brain power?).
@@ZoolGatekeeper You really have not been keeping up with Will Smith if you imagine he is a has been. He led Aladin to a billion dollar box office in 2019 and Bad Boys 4 Life was the highest grossing domestic film of 2020. Then he did an Oscar quality film in 2021 and won Best Actor in 2022. Maybe you should review his filmography.
@@AnaisKarim He's a has been. Especially after that slap and being banned from the Oscars for the next 10 years. Who will want to work with him after this? I sure as hell wouldn't.
I dont care who wins but denzel Washington took my heart away by his reaction ❤️
Denzel had already said it was Will's night when he was interviewed before it began. Everyone knew that. But one long time hater couldn't keep it cute.
Yeah he was an enabler…
Denzel is a coward
Denzel is just an older version of Will Smith. Both selfish massive ego pricks
He was mindblowing in MacBeth.
The real winner is Andrew Garfield. Not Will Smith
We can agree to disagree
@@celticdw1983 yes
well will should have given one for many of his movies
It could have gone any way between any of the nominees in this case.
@@MrChaotic4 Will swept all precursors and even with his stupidity with Chris Rock, he was still winning
They let the speech go on way longer than usual because it was just great TV
plus they were scared he might punch them if they asked him to stop

I'll be so happy when Andrew gets his Oscar one day, maybe third time lucky?
Third time's the charm
third time was the charm for Jessica Chastain
benedict or andrew should've won
Agree
Sure
Honestly, Benedict Cumberbatch could have won the Oscar instead.
@@psicologiauhpuntarenas5762 What do you mean?
Yeah because they played marvel characters, right??? /s
Will read the room and thought everyone at the Oscar had his back but totally forgetting the Public / entire world on the outside was watching and had an opinion. He thought by making it appear as though he had his wife's back, would have justified his actions and women would have been on his side But oh boy, he was in for a rude awaken. After a few days, the internet world switched on him.
I am nothing but sickened by this speech
If they ever make a movie about his life please don’t hold back on the Slap.
Jim Carrey was right, also Pedro Almodóvar didn’t stand or clap at all, he’s a real one. When it comes to the slap, I felt Will was a ticking time bomb and unfortunately it exploded onto Chris Rock. All that talk about Jada saying she didn’t want to marry Will, The 2pac situation, August Entanglement, people making fun of the situation, Denzel was right The Devil comes for you at your Highest moment.
"Will Smith: A slap of sucess"
@@fernansanchez6331 pursuit of slappyness

"... I wanna be an ambassador of that kind of love and care and concern"
While minutes ago he slapped a friend of his that was making a joke. While minutes ago he was revealing what kind of person he really is.
So true. Your actions are what matters
I think that was his way of apologizing
Will Smith “Denzel told me that at your highest moment the devil will get you, so I gotta watch out”
Also Will: “I am a defender”
i feel bad for the Williams family. they dont deserve this mess.
Jada dose deserve this
They do. They’re all POS
This mess is their father and husband
And you think that Andrew and Benedict were so much better.... Shame on you, Academy!!!
Is a 10 year ban enough lol?
I do agree and wish Andrew won
He should have been arrested for assault, not given an Oscar. What the heck is wrong with America
The fact that this was the same Oscar as Will smith slapping Chris is amazing of me 😂
This all happened after he slapped someone? Who was protecting Chris, Will?
No one cares about Chris. Sorry
Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family but he didn't slap nobody will 😂🤣🤣
Exactly!!! He was trying to pin his behavior on Richard Williams. Williams was a protector, but he never slapped anyone on live tv. He just made sure he was there when his daughters were being interviewed.
It’s crazy that they let him stand up there and accept his award and people actually stood and clapped after what he did previously in the show
Hahaha ambassador of love ! He Showed Chris Rock his love😂
He was the ultimate hypocrite
If that’s what he calls love, I don’t want to know what his hate would look like 😅
“I’m being called on to love people, to protect people and to be a river to my people. I wanna be a vessel of love” 🤦♂️ He truly was so proud of himself for that slap and those tears are so put on it’s hilarious.
In their most frank statements, people always talk not about who they are, but about who they would like to be and thank everyone around, except fate...
Will Smith was one night away from truly immortalizing himself forever as one of the greatest actors of our generation. He had done everything been in everything gotten everything. Any and all his criticisms were mainly because of his parents and his children fucking up.
Box office successes, critical acclaim you name it... And he ruined it all, burned it to the ground, one hour before he almost reached it...
I cringed hard at his Chris Rock fuckery but man was it tragic
I'm a huge Denzel fan but it was sad for me to see him cheer for someone wrong that night. Jada is like Yoko Ono who ruined a good man's life.
At least Yoko Ono wasn’t toxic like Jada
@@hippiecheezburger5457 Oh no no no... Yoko was evil. The more you learn about their history, the worse it gets.
How did she ruin his life?????
@@prasad9002 Look it up on Google.
Denzel W. is the best.
6:17 he definitely went for the apology but couldn’t let go of his pride 😂
And he didn’t want to incriminate himself in any future lawsuit
he should have won in pursuit of happyness.
Pursuit of slappyness
@@bobnewton1064 💀
Agreed. That and Ali
That's what Marlon Wayans said 😂😂😂
Forest Whitaker owns him!
Jada looking like a straight up Sith Lord here
Will needed the win but dang it overshadowed.
No moment in your life, no matter how much you are overcome with emotion do you resort to violence. This moment for Will, whom I grew up with, makes excuses for what he did. The true mark of an actor is the ability to take and respect your fellow actors. His actions are abysmal and show a side of him that is not worthy for his accolades. As a survivor of physical, emotional and psychological abuse I find the fact he retains his Oscar a travesty to the people who have loved and respected the Academy.
He ruined his reputation with 1 slap. It was very unprofessional of him and to be honest I wouldn’t have been sorry for him if his Oscar was taken away.
Spot on.
Spare me, we don’t need your sob story over one dumb staged slap. He didn’t kill him.
Imagine how awkward it must have been in that room, everybody trying to act like what just happened didn't happen
Theyre all actors
denzel Washington was proud that will smith won academy awards
Right. Did you see Denzel point at him? This is your night! ❤️😍
yeah I saw it
I fr waited a whole year just to hear his speech. The whole time I was waiting for him to say sorry to chris😂
“Love will make you do crazy things “ yep and you showed it will
Hollywood is a cesspit of hypocrites. Not one person had the guts to say this is wrong. Not one.
Will Smith: "I wanna be a vessel for love"
Also Will Smith: *slaps the shit out of a comedian for making a joke*
7:35 Jada givin the good old fake "my husband and i have cheated but we cool" smile lol
Nah she was satisfied for what he did to his best friend she doesn't give a damn about him
You are pathetic sexist jerk.
They were separated. Will Smith admitted to seeing other women on Oprah Winfrey show.
Not going to lie, he deserved the Oscar. However, it's so ironic that he slaps Chris Rock the same night he gets his first Oscar. I know he's probably thinking about how much he messed up.
And he may never stand on that stage again for the next 10 years.
@@Senate300 You think he cares
@@prasad9002 You think he doesn't?
@@Senate300 Why would he care???? Your looking at Will Smith a character we watched on tv. His got the same personality is almost every movie. A normal man over 50 who has over 300 million won't really miss a pay check. And it's pretty obvious he won't pick media over his family.
@@prasad9002 But Mr. Smith ain't a normal man. He's a Hollywood Star with few years left in him in terms of making movies who's stock shrank after this incident that no one will let him forget for the longest time.
He got into 1 little fight and his mom got scared...
5:22 At your highest moment be careful that’s when the devil comes for you.
Me: Wow that’s a powerful words
He’s a sellout , the devil already has his soul
Stupid American puritanical christian words to remove guilty.
Also you: failure of a person
Not really
He said too late 😂
Crazy how you assault someone then when an award
This speech will live in infamy not just because he should not have been allowed to stay in the room and give it in the first place, plus it was utterly self indulgent with zero remorse, it was the crowd reaction. If you ever doubted Hollywood types double standards it was on full display here with the clapping and cheering for him and his win. It was not a natural human response and was sickening to watch to be honest.
There is no 'double standard' on display. WIll was awarded for his performance in the movie, which is not directly connected to the slap.
@@wylierI belived time would forget that slap and will be unbaned
Ladies...gentlemen... ACTIONS speak way louder than words. Always remember that.
Never knew Richard Williams is an offender too lmao💀
OSCAR 2022 is forever remembered for that SLAP, only.
That slap dying out
What slap
It's the only year that Oscars might be remembered at all.
0:56 the memories this guy gave me as a child
In response to Will's speech, Cary Elwes of The Princess Bride tweeted, "The 'vessels of love' I have known or admired never acted violently against another human being…"
Bro said I want to be an ambassador of love😂 Dawg you ruined the WWilliams’s story, It was gonna be solidified forever and you blew it for them.😂
Notice how some people don’t stand up to clap for him
I think audience was in shock... They just went with the plan of giving WILL standing ovation.. the producer stopped security from removing him..
You are so dumb. Did you just make this security theory up? No one went to remove him.
I literally forgot that he actually won an oscar at that event.
If he never slapped Chris and made a mention about her wife's hurt feelings during his speech, then the villain would be Chris. But he is just an idiot.
It's hard to me to come to realization as Will was the hero of my childhood and youth. I felt about him just as if he was my older brother. It was just so hard to watch all of this sad spectacle.
This man is insane
Darn tooting
Lol! Truth
Nobody speaks about Javier's silly reaction for Will's win! 😄-> 😆🤣
Reflecting on his life and career instead of addressing the issue. It wasn’t a time for reflection, it was time for a sincere apology.
Every oscar speech has the actor always thanking his wife for showing support and believing in them throughout their life. Imagine not having a wife that neither loves or supports you. You can see Will Smith wanting to thank his wife for supporting but.... He doesnt. Because she never did. He mentions everybody else but only ever mentions her once. Very heartbreaking. Instead Jada is just smirking watching him cry. It's not the Oscar moment he imagined.
It’s almost as if I’m watching a Tracy Morgan skit form 30 rock.
He’s like I thought about this speech before I slapped Chris Rock but let’s just go with it
Those dresses and the women inside of them were absolutely stunning!!!!❤
Thank you will smith!!
I actually felt bad for Will seeing this reaction. I feel bad for Will and for Chris.
You should only feel bad for Chris! Will is the bad guy. Crying bad guys are still bad guys. Will was only crying for himself. Are you deaf? Did you not hear him standing there talking about what a great and noble person he was for what was well over his time limit. Nobody stood up to the bully. Nobody. They gave him a standing ovation. Chris had to watch it all night and see Will literally dancing all night laughing and being sucked up to at the after parties. Get your priorities straight and don't be so easily fooled.
That's why they didn't show what was in the case in Pulp Fiction.
Not a drop of remorse
There is
8:24 Will: "I hope the academy invites me back."
Academy: "n o."
Will is a doormat to his wife
