Will Smith and Chris Rock Best Memes for Oscars 2022

Will Smith and Chris Rock stole the show at this year's Oscars 2022 awards night. As Chris Rock made his usual comedian jokes, he received a thundering slap in the face from Will Smith himself after the comedian made a joke in bad taste about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

During the Academy Awards night on Sunday, Chris Rock was presenting the award for best documentary feature. As a comedian, Rock was up to making a few jokes during his time on stage. A few of them being sort of offensive.

Chris Rock basically joked that Jada Pinkett Smith, because of her shaved haircut, could have been cast in the next G.I. Jane movie.

Unfortunately, Jada Smith has been struggling with alopecia, a hair loss condition, and did not react well to the joke — neither did Will Smith.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith Reaction

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith were both seen with uncomfortable faces with the series of jokes. Will Smith was seated near the Oscars stage and went directly to slap Chris Rock.

As reported by Variety, despite the fact that the audio from the U.S. broadcast was cut, the full video of the incident appears to have been broadcast on international broadcasts and has been shared on Twitter.

The international broadcast of the Oscars 2022 also caught Will Smith in the act telling Chris Rock to keep "his wife's name" out of his "f**king mouth."

Both the live audience and audience watching the broadcast at home are all shocked and confused as to whether or not the argument was part of a planned segment, though it does not appear to be.

Here's uncensored footage from Twitter user David Mock, stating that no part of the Oscars 2022 shocking event was cut out in Australian TV.

Twitter user Saeed Jones posted a photo comparing the reactions of celebrities in the live audience. These are the compiled reactions from Lady Gaga, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, The Rock, Meryl Streep, and many more!

Another Twitter user @maxiebae98 has posted a photo of Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita who was seated close to both Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Numerous Twitter users are reacting to the collage of photos of Jay Z, Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, the shocked reaction of Nicole Kidman, and Zendaya on her phone, which was posted on Twitter.

@genascrown also posted a side-by-side photo of the Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield and Zendaya caught on their phones. Fans are speculating that both of them are texting "Spider-Man: No Way Home" actor Tom Holland about the Oscars 2022 tea.

Another meme was posted by MGAG media company stating "How Asian parents fix stuff" referring to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.

Will Smith for Best Actor

Will Smith did not only grab the spotlight after slapping Chris, he also won as Best Actor. After Smith was announced as the winner, he gave a long, emotional speech in which he expressed his desire to be "an ambassador of love" and apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees, presumably for his earlier outburst. Smith was moved to tears during the whole ordeal.

People were quick to quote Smith for being a "vessel of love"

Another Twitter user stated Will Smith, "1 for Best Actor and another for Outstanding Fight Sequence #AcademyAwards."
