And The Oscar Goes To…Will Smith For Slapping Chris Rock!
The entire Oscar broadcast was dominated by Will Smith, and Not for winning the Academy Award for Best Actor!
During the “Oscars” last night, WILL SMITH slapped CHRIS ROCK across the face for making a joke about JADA PINKETT’s shaved head.
Rock was roasting some of the nominees when he said that Jada Pinkett Smith looked like G.I. Jane. Moments later Smith walked on stage toward Rock and slapped him across the face.
The episode with Rock at first appeared to be a scripted joke but turned serious when Smith shouted out, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f—ing mouth.”

The audio from the show broadcast was on a time delay of a few seconds in the United States and Canada and appeared to have been cut from the live transmission for many viewers because of the language.
