Will Smith won the Best Actor award after he rushed the Oscar stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock in the face for making a joke about his wife.
Smith was not removed from the venue for assaulting the comedian and took to the stage to accept his award not long after.

While tearfully accepting his award, Smith asserted that “love will make you do crazy things.
The actress had shaved her head to deal with her alopecia, which causes hair loss and Rock made a joke about her looking like she was getting ready for G.I. Jane 2.
Smith initially laughed, as Jada looked enraged. Moments later, he was jumping on the stage and assaulting the presenter.
Rock, stunned, attempted to shake it off and keep going as Smith shouted at him from back in the audience.
“Wow dude, it was a G.I. Jane joke,” Rock responded, adding “that was the greatest night in the history of television.”
During the commercial break, Smith was pulled aside by Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry who appeared to be telling him to brush it off. Smith appeared to wipe away tears while returning to his seat with Jada and his PR rep.
