Will Smith Wins Best Actor for 'King Richard' | 94th Oscars 

It would've been even more triumphant had he slapped David Dobrik instead.

*Even if Will Smith had deserved to win, this vídeo should not be here.*

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

Exactly 😥

@@leopeper5874 Yet it happened, and there's no turning back for it.

This is shit

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dude 🤣🤣🤣

But Will also resigned from the Academy. Or said he would "voluntarily resign" rather.

💔💔

Literally the first thing I said to myself when I saw they uploaded this haha

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

Exactly. My comment was “Why are we highlighting this?”

if they could put the video of them messing up the best picture 2017 then they can do anything.

they uploaded every winners and why not this one.. because what happened??.. come on move on folks.. The Oscars want to moving on too

Exactly. He already knows his rep is not good

Looks like someone deserves an Oscar for this comment

CORRECTAMUNDO. Those were "I effed up, then immediately regretted it" tears.

They boasted him on the bowl

??? He won an oscar. he doesnt need to get out of aything

gorgeous profile pic

It was a rollercoaster

Just the worst

A commitment to public assault like no other……Will deserves his award for being a criminal

@@mackielunkey2205 and the best

I mean it still is

@@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.

@@fckyu3857 It shows how much of a snoozefest Hollywood has turned the Oscars where a slap is more memorable over someone's achievements.

@@fckyu3857 harvey wasnt there, he was already in prison

chris has been attacking himself and jada for years

Yes, we all heard it.

And yet the highest moment and the lowest moment if Will's career happened in a few hours in this show lol

Such dumbass thought

Don’t entertain the devil

Ya'll need to stop blaming the devil for your bad behavior

*Even if Will Smith had deserved to win, this vídeo should not be here.*

@@leopeper5874 exactly! If he was a white person, they wouldn't even post this video

@@leopeper5874 he did not deserve. Cumberbatch was robbed

@@pedroh.5785 That's what I said.

False. King Richards steaming numbers went up. I watched after he won goofy

I know! 😍😉

It was just a reunion for the cameras. They hang out off-camera all the time.

@@joeybaseball7352 obviously lol no one thought that they had not seen each other for decades and then just hopped up on stage together

*Apart from that, even if Will Smith had deserved to win, this vídeo should not be here.*

@@Ooth9999 they thought this was the first time they had seen each other.

I can see the tears in his eyes because of the delicate issue that occurred

You can see everyone’s paying attention and the room is deadly silent.

Shame on him too! He should’ve told this guy to apologize straight to Chris. You can’t patronize wrong doing.

​@@johnvestil3789 will dint do anything wrong to me

I only see a disappointed dad

100%

Because he won the Oscar so he did that speech for long

He deserves that oscar

@@ironboywonder2766 No fu*k that. They shouldn't have allowed him to stay there after the slap.

​@@ironboywonder2766 he deserved the Oscar but not the speech

True 😢

He isn't death his career is not death he isn't blackbag broken blacklisted is not cancelled

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

funniest

He's gonna be fine. Bad Boys 4 is out this summer.

I'm surprised that they didn't disable the comments.

Yeah , I'm suprised they posted this.

Me too, why give him the satisfaction of showing him try to justify his violence

@chepecine There's a video somewhere. He wasn't at the ceremony, but they should upload, it was the last time Bette Davis as a presenter.

Why ????! He was the biggest winner of the night.

Only in one's dreams.

Kinda like when spike Lee won but instead of Brie, it’s Uma. Bad Boys 4 is still coming so who knows

It happened in the multiverse, that slap caused an incursion in our multiverse 😂😂😂

The good ending.

Beautifully said. It was possible for him to do this... or, maybe it wasn't...

2007 - Forrest Whittaker (The Last King of Scotland)

An Excellent Performance

Who gives a shit what race wins an Oscar?

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.

Lmao Jim sexually assault a women on stage so he can shut the fuck up

Nothing can be further from the truth.

Agree, the Hollywood is Spineless..

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.

​@@Angelkeyz_aka telling a joke ,it being your work , is not a crime . Hitting a person ,on the other hand, is .

@@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.

It could have been sweet and wholesome if Will simply didn’t smack Chris Rock. Lol If Andrew won the night would have still been a little crappy.

​@@Angelkeyz_aka I 100% agree! one of the best comments I have seen on this matter thank you!

*Even if Will Smith had deserved to win, this vídeo should not be here.*

@@leopeper5874 You've replied the exact same thing dozens of times in the comments section.

@@TheHannahcast Yes, I know it. So what?

@@leopeper5874 a man with a plan. A crusader on a mission. A Leo Peper with a goal. Telling everybody this video shouldn't be here. Coming soon in theaters, 2023.

@@elmarky3700 LOL 😂

I completely agree!

There’s a strong power to an elevated stage.

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.

@@henryivan6858 You sound like a psychoanalyst .... are you a psychologist?

@@henryivan6858 👍👍

Dave Chappelle just got attacked on stage from a guy holding a fake gun, with a real knife.

Will Smith should have gotten an equally vigorous backstage stomping.

A Dane Cook comedy show.

couldnt be me

Well he did say “ I want to apologise to the academy, I want to apologise to my fellow nominees “

​@@CharbeljhabibHe didn't apologize to the person that he slapped on stage 🤷

🤣

Academy: Yes. We will... In 10 Years time

*WRONG!* Lex Luthor tone

That one didn't age quite so well.

See you next decade

Yep The Slapper!

Denzel is a way gem...

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).

Its only about colour colour colour People move one

@@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.

@@obinnaochiagha1097 he didn't invent things that didn't revolutionized the world tho, so he's just a person who's an actor

I agree. It's a shame he sabotaged himself like that.

Literally

True

Will packer wanted thar

In his OSCAR speech, it defines all the goodness and the sadness

It hits harder after having seen the whole ceremony

@@nationalcoasternews5798 No need for smack talk, now.

They really had the balls to upload this, I'm impressed, this shit slap me hard

@@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.

He’s a great action star.

Well said 🙌🏾

That moment SLAPPED!

@@mackielunkey2205 niceeee

@@kadenyung3653 yep

He did amazing

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

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 💀

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).

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.

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

@ 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.

Hahahaha

And he DIDN'T. Unbelievable.

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.

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

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 😬

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

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

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 😂😂

@@15Candles still he twice already to Chris Rock

@@eltonmiguel5359 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

😂😂😂

Love will smith

he's that kind of actor

Because the award went to him

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

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

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

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

not really but ok

it makes me sick

@@ollieacres5736 I bet Harvey and Roman don't. cry me a river.

@@blackguyofthesouth2161 man who are Harvey and Roman

@@ttt9830 I’ll say it again HES AN ICON LIVING u can go cry now lmao

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

@@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 more impressed they didn't disable the comments.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

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

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.
