It was nearly a year ago that Will Smith marched onto the Dolby Theatre stage and smacked the piss out of host Chris Rock in the middle of the Oscars ceremony — all for the crime of making an off-color joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hairdo. You surely know what happened next: instead of removing him from the venue, the Academy allowed Smith to stay, leading to a surreal, rambling acceptance speech (through tears) when he won the Best Actor Oscar for King Richard later that night.

According to Steven Spielberg, you either die a critically ignored blockbuster or live long enough to see a Best Picture nomination. The “Fabelmans” director, who landed his first Best Original Screenplay nomination for the 2023 Oscars, reflected on the expanded Best Picture category. The semi-autobiographical “The Fabelmans” is also up for Best Picture, and the category was doubled in size in 2009 from five nominees to 10.

“Write what you know” — the age-old advice to aspiring writers has long been debated by distinguished wordsmiths and creative minds. Kazuo Ishiguro, writer of the 2022 British drama “Living,” has said the phrase “is the most stupid thing I’ve heard. … It’s the reverse of firing the imagination and potential of writers.” Does similar thinking still govern the studio heads who greenlight movies, the consumers who watch them and especially the awards voters who nominate them?

Will Smith has opened up about the ongoing controversy surrounding his assault of Chris Rock at this year’s Academy Awards, offering up his most unvarnished thoughts about an altercation that has marred his public image. In an emotional YouTube post, Smith addressed why he didn’t apologize to Rock when he accepted a best actor prize for his work in “King Richard” shortly after he charged the stage and slapped the comic for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s short haircut.

Comedian Ricky Gervais has revealed the Jada Pinkett Smith joke he would've told instead at the Oscars - and it didn't centre around her hair.

Bill Maher had a hot take on Chris Rock's hair joke that supposedly triggered Will Smith's slap ... if that's the worst thing she's struggling with, she's a lucky woman. The "Real Time" host said Friday night, "If you are so lucky in life as to have that be your medical problem, just say, 'thank God.'" He went on to drop some numbers -- 80% of men and 50% of women lose hair as part of the aging process.

"[Chris] Rock has made it clear that he does not want to make a bad situation worse," the show producer said in his first post-Oscars interview on 'Good Morning America' on Friday, where he discussed Smith slapping Rock onstage and the evolving fallout.

Hans Zimmer won his first Oscar in nearly three decades on Sunday night, but unfortunately he was unable to accept the award in person. So he celebrated with his daughter, a mini statue and a drink at his hotel in Amsterdam. Zimmer took home the award for Best Score, thanks to his work on “Dune,” but his category was among the eight that were handed out before the televised broadcast began. But he made sure his fans knew just how thrilled he was.

It was the bombshell moment of the Oscars. Not feelgood best picture winner Coda, or historic wins for the Afro-Latina actor Ariana DeBose or deaf actor Troy Kotsur, or the Academy hiring not one but three hosts – Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall – for the first time since 2018. No, by far the most talked-about moment of the 94th annual Academy Awards was when the best actor winner, Will Smith, took offense to a joke by presenter Chris Rock and slapped him onstage.
