In the room, it felt like a skit at first. Late into the Oscars on Sunday night,stormed the stage as Chris Rock was presenting best documentary feature, and slapped Rock in the face. The loud thud echoed through the top mezzanine floors of the Dolby Theatre, almost sounding like a sound effect from an action movie.
But then Smith kept going, and it became clear that this wasn’t a sketch. As the “King Richard” actor returned to his table, just a feet from the stage, he started yelling at Rock. “Get my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth,” Smith said.Smith yelled back at Rock, repeating the same words — but louder. Rock managed to move on and award the prize, but the exchange — an act of violence from the night’s eventual best actor winner — cast a shadow over the 94th annual Academy Awards.
Smith held hands with his wife for the rest of the night. When Jane Campion was named best director a few minutes later for “The Power of the Dog,” Smith stood up and applauded, with a wide grin on his face. But he seemed to have taken all the air in the room. Campion’s win — as the third woman to ever triumph in the category — didn’t feel as special as it should have inside the Dolby, as attendees were still whispering about Smith.
When Smith’s name was later announced as the best actor winner, he was showered with a standing ovation. At the end of his speech, some actors stood up again for him, but the applause was more muted.
