Will Smith could be facing the possibility of being asked to hand his Oscar back, as the backlash over his violent outburst grows.
The actor, 53, was up for Best Actor for his portrayal of Serena and Venus Williams’ father Richard in the critically-acclaimed drama King Richard.
He won the gong, beating off stiff competition from the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Javier Bardem, Denzel Washington and Andrew Garfield, but his victory was overshadowed by his assault on presenter Chris Rock earlier in the evening.
