The Academy Awards 2022 got a major kick in the butt when Will Smith decided to approach Chris Rock onstage with his fists. And while there has been much talk of the set-to today, the Oscars from this year will probably be remembered for the incident, despite having some other big moments.
It was actually the year Will Smith finally won a best actor gong - for King Richard - after making films for 30 years. It's also the year the first openly queer woman of colour won an Oscar, as Ariana DeBose landed a best supporting actress statuette for West Side Story.
But all of that paled when compared with the moment Chris Rock made a crass joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith's baldness - down to a condition called alopecia - making her ideal to star as GI Jane 2, a role for a woman with a shaved head. Jada's husband Will mounted the stage and made his feelings known.
