Just minutes after the slap, Smith actually won Best Actor for King Richard, as he struggled through an awkward acceptance speech.
I think his speech was worse. The speech was worse than the slap, this invader bull**t about, “I’m a protector of people and a lover of people.” Chris Rock was standing with his hands behind his back, and a man twice his size slapped him in the face at the Oscars.
The slap happened before Rock presented the award for Best Documentary Feature, which Questlove won for his critically acclaimed Summer of Soul, with Ellin stating that it was “tragic” that his amazing speech was largely forgotten.

Tragic: The slap happened before Rock presented the award for Best Documentary Feature, which Questlove won for his critically acclaimed Summer of Soul, with Ellen stating that it was “tragic” that his amazing speech was largely forgotten.
Questlove gave this wonderful speech about a movie far more important than King Richard. This movie, Summer of Soul, is a really important documentary and Questlove gave an amazing speech that no one was listening to.
CODA star Troy Kotsur, who became the second deaf actor to win an Academy Award, also stated, “Nobody thinks about it.”
