The Oscars 2022
The 94th Academy Awards ceremony took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, 27th March.
The ceremony was a HOT topic after Will Smith won the award for 'Best Actor in a Leading Role' for his role in 'King Richard' however, notably more people are talking about the incident between him and comedian Chris Rock.
Chris Rock was on stage and made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith stormed on stage to defend his wife and slapped Chris across the face before returning to his seat and cursing the comedian.
