Will Smith has won the Best Actor Oscar at the 2022 Academy Awards for his role in King Richard. He was up against Benedict Cumberbatch (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Power of the Dog), Andrew Garfield ༺(Tick... Tick... Boom), Denzel Washington (The Tragedy of Macbeth), and Javier Bardem (Being the Ricardos).

"Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family. In this time in my life, in this moment, I am overwhelmed by what God is calling on me to do and be in 💫this world," the actor said upon accepting his award. 

He spoke about his castmates, then appeared to address his澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: altercation with Chris Rockꦯ which took place earlier in the ceremony. The moment saw Smith step on stage to conf🐼ront Rock about a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.  

"Denzel [Washington] said to be a few minutes ago, at your highest moment, be careful, that's when the devil com🍌es for you," he said: "I want to apologize to the Academy, I want to apologize to all my fellow nominees." 

The visibly emotional Smith continued: "I want to say thank you to Venus and Serena and the entire Williams family for entrusting me with your s♑tory, that's what I want to do, I want to be an ambassador for 𓄧that kind of love and care and concern." 

In King Richard, Smith plays Richard Williams, father to Venus and Serena Williams (Saniyya Sidney and Demi Sin🍃gleton) and married to Oracene 'Brandy' Price (Aunjanue Ellis). The movie follows Richard's efforts to help Venus and Serena become professional tennis players – the real-lif💞e Williams sisters are executive producers on the film.

Following thওe incident, the Los Angeles Police Department has released an official statement sayi🌠ng that Rock will not be pressing charges.

"LAPD investigative entities are aware of an incident between two൲ individuals during the Academy Awards program," the statement reads. "The incident involved one individual slapping another. The individual involved has declined to file a poli🌼ce report. If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report."
