Will Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock in the face and shouted a vulgarity at the comedian for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith's appearance at the Oscars ceremony on Sunday.
Will Smith who went on to win the Best Actor award apologised to the Academy but not to Chris Rock upon accepting his award. At first, the episode with Chris Rock appeared to be a scripted joke but turned serious when Will Smith shouted out, "Keep my wife's name out of your fucking mouth." The audio from the show, broadcast on a time delay of a few seconds in the United States, appeared to have been cut from the live transmission for many viewers because of the language.
