Will Smith, the Hollywood star, has won the ‘Best Actor’ category at the 2022 Oscars for his role in ‘King Richard’.
The 94th Academy Awards returned to the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and had a host for the first time in four years — with Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes co-hosting the event.
‘CODA’, the English-language remake of the 2014 French film La Famille Bélier, won all three awards it was nominated for.
This includes the ‘Best Picture’ category and a historic win for Troy Kotsur, who won for ‘Best Supporting Actor’ — becoming the first deaf man to win an Academy Award for acting.
Jane Campion won the ‘Best Director’ category for her role in ‘The Power of the Dog’ while Jessica Chastain secured her first Oscar for her performance in ‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye’.
Will Smith received his award shortly after delivering a shocking slap to Chris Rock who made a joke about Jada Pinkett, his wife, while presenting a different award.
