Last night's Oscar ceremony was overshadowed by a rift between comedian Chris Rock and Academy Award winner Will Smith, after Rock made a gag about Smith's wife's hair.
Smith appeared to slap Rock on stage after the gag about Jada Pinkett Smith's short haircut. Referring to Pinkett Smith’s buzzcut, Rock said: “Jada, can’t wait for GI Jane 2”, prompting the actress to roll her eyes, before King Richard star Will Smith took to the stage and aimed a slap at Rock.
Will Smith was named as the winner of the Best Actor prize just minutes later.
