Who won every category at the Academy Awards as Will Smith takes best actor

But his win – and the entire night – was overshadowed by him slapping host Chris Rock about half an hour earlier for making a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

The slap has unsurprisingly dominated the conversation around the Oscars.

But the ceremony also saw Jane Campion become the third woman in history to win the best director Oscar, for The Power of the Dog, while Sir Kenneth Branagh and Riz Ahmed led the British success.

Sir Kenneth has notched up eight Oscar nominations over four decades of acting, writing and directing, spanning seven different award categories – itself a record – but until this year had always come away empty-handed.

His win for best original screenplay, for the film Belfast, comes 40 years after he made his screen acting debut on BBC television in 1982.

Why did Will Smith slap Chris Rock?

Rock was entertaining the crowd on stage ahead of the best documentary award being handed out.

Smith and Pinkett Smith were sat at the front of the audience, and Rock made a joke asking Pinkett Smith if she would star in “GI Jane 2”.

The joke references the fact Pinkett Smith has shaved her head – as Demi Moore did for her role in the original GI Jane.

However, Pinkett Smith has also been very public about having alopecia, a medical condition that causes hair loss.

Smith initially seems to be laughing, but then strides up to the stage and slaps Rock in the face.

After being struck, Rock exclaims: “Oh wow. Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me.”

Some members of the celebrity crowd are still laughing, perhaps thinking the whole incident is a bit.

But the reaction turns to stunned silence when Smith shouts at Rock twice: “Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth.”

Rock says that he will, but appears visibly shaken, going on to say “we are here to present a documentary” before correcting himself.
