The defining moment of Oscars 2022 was a jaw-dropping moment when actor Will Smith got on stage and seemingly smacked presenter Chris Rock on the face.
Barely a moment before, Rock had joked about Will's wife Jada Pinkett-Smith, saying that she could star in the sequel to G.I. Jane, to which she was seen rolling her eyes.
The joke was in reference to Pinkett-Smith's shaved head because of autoimmune disorder alopecia but it didn't go down well with Smith, who went up to the stage and punched Rock, leaving everybody in attendance shocked over the events.
Smith later won the best actor Oscar for his role in biographical drama King Richard.
