Sunday’s 94th Academy Awards made history with trailblazing winners -- and shocked viewers with a raw on-stage confrontation.
Award-winning actor Will Smith took offense to a joke made by Chris Rock about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Rock, presenting the best documentary prize with a short comedy routine, had cracked a joke comparing Jada Pinkett Smith's tightly cropped hair to Demi Moore's appearance in the film "G.I. Jane" and suggesting she appear in a sequel.
In a moment that triggered awkward silence and confusion in the Dolby Theatre, Smith strode up to Rock and slapped him, before returning to his seat alongside Jada, shouting profanities.
