US actor Will Smith accepts the Oscar for best actor for "King Richard"HOLLYWOOD - Will Smith's best actor Oscar for"King Richard" on Sunday is the crowning glory of a wide-ranging showbiz career for the former"Fresh Prince" -- but the night is likely to be remembered more for him slapping comedian Chris Rock on stage.
But the acceptance speech came just minutes after Smith, apparently incensed by a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's hair-loss condition, had climbed onto the Oscars stage and struck Rock, stunning the crowd and viewers at home. Smith becomes the fifth Black man to win the best actor Oscar, after Sidney Poitier -- who died in January -- Washington, Jamie Foxx and Forest Whitaker.
It was during this period that Smith won his first movie roles, confirming his status as one of Hollywood's emerging talents with a lead in the action movie"Bad Boys" alongside comic Martin Lawrence in 1995. The failure was even more disappointing considering that Smith had passed on the opportunity to play Keanu Reeves's character in 1999's"The Matrix," the first in what is now a money-spinning series of four films.
And soon a movie called 'Slapgate'.

At the end of the day, its a very bad portrayal of black man, in an event predominantly white and racist. Black people are violent, even when they have money.
