, the historical drama’s director, early in the evening’s ceremony. After Fuqua’s minute-long thanks to AAFCA, Apple TV+ and the film’s cast and crew, Smith took the microphone to recount the production of the film.
“‘Emancipation’ was the individual most difficult film of my entire career. It was all outdoors, that is true,” Smith joked, earning laughs from the crowd. “It was the second day of shooting and 110 degrees… I was in a scene with one of the white actors. The actor decided to ad lib. So we’re doing the scene. I did my line. He did his line. And then — ad lib — he spit in the middle of my chest,” Smith said as the crowd groaned. “Rhe actor felt that the ad lib had gone well. So we do take two. I do my line. He does his line — and spits in the middle of my chest again… In the distance, I hear a voice.
“I want to thank Gil and AAFCA. I want to thank all of you in this room for doing what you do, keeping our stories alive. I want to thank Apple, because the budget was one thing. And then the budget was another thing. And then the budget was another thing. And Apple never flinched,” Smith said. “It was the first time I had heard from a studio that the story was more important than how much it costs to get it done… They make iPhones. They can do it.
MeghanMood Congratulations to Will. I’m glad to see at least one person have the maturity to move on.
chrisrock destroyed you!!!
Will just refers to the actor as, 'a white actor' vs 'an actor' without stating his name. It goes to prove to Will that it took the white actor 2 times of spitting in order to help him get into character- as mentioned in his speech. Credit also goes to the 'white actor' Will!! 🙄
Middle aged spoilt child talks nauseating boll*x to his little gang of equally spoilt tossers.
WS. BBB example of affirmative action gone wrong. He is on the downhill slide.
Will smith is a violent nobody.
So difficult. I'm sure the salary you were paid while acting is more than sufficient
I see him and I see Bill Cosby. Seems desperate. AAFCA trying to revive a black man’s deflated ego.
Who believes this?!!!
Why didn’t you slap the white dude?
great WillSmith ! applauses!👋👋👋😄 Emancipation movie AAFCA awards win
Grande ator! Sou tua fã...
Give me attention please.
So charismatic
Don’t care - Will Smith should still be arrested for assaulting Chris Rock & spend at least one full night in jail to be held accountable then he can go back to acting. Justice4ChrisRock
😳
That was soooo funnny. Great speech
Did he slap anyone?
Don’t understand why he is getting awards one year after publicly assaulting someone. His apology tour over? Yuck.
a slapping night
he's slapping tonight
