Will Smith wins award for the Best Actor at Oscars 2022
The Oscars 2022 Best Actor award has now been announced. Will Smith took the prize for his role in King Richard, directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green.
The actor got emotional during his acceptance speech and broke down. Earlier at the event, Will made news for punching Chris Rock for joking about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
He said that Jada looked like GI Jane 2. Will, in an angry tone, warned Chris and asked him to keep his wife out of his mouth.
At his acceptance speech, Will Smith said, “Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family. In this time in my life, I am overwhelmed by what God is calling on me to do and be in this world.” He added, “I want to apologise to Academy, I want to apologise to all my fellow nominees. This is a beautiful moment and I am not crying for winning an award. It’s not about winning an award for me. Art imitates life. I look like the crazy father, just like Richard Williams. But love will make you do crazy things.”
At the end of his speech, Will Smith said, “Thank you. I hope the Academy invites me back.”
