Murphy, the lead in Oppenheimer, praised Nolan’s dedication to the film, which earned $954 million and secured the Best Drama Film award. The biopic also received accolades for Best Score and Best Supporting Actor, awarded to Downey Jr for his portrayal of Lewis Strauss.

Downey Jr humorously acknowledged the film’s unexpected box office success and commented on changes within the Golden Globes membership, expressing gratitude for the alterations made in response to a diversity scandal. Murphy, also known for Peaky Blinders, playfully addressed the numerous Irish nominees, extending appreciation to all nominees, regardless of nationality.

Lily Gladstone, representing Killers of the Flower Moon, delivered her acceptance speech partly in the Algonquian language Blackfoot. She emphasized the historic significance of her win and highlighted the importance of Native actors preserving their languages in the film industry.

Emma Stone claimed the title of Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for her role in Poor Things, which also secured the award for Best Musical or Comedy Film. Stone expressed deep gratitude to director Yorgos Lanthimos and writer Tony McNamara for their contributions to the film, emphasizing the transformative impact of her character, Bella Baxter, on her perspective of life.

At the Oscars, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about the actor’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

“Jada, can’t wait for GI Jane 2,” he said, referring to her shaved hairstyle, which is the result of the hair loss condition alopecia. “Keep my wife’s name out of your [expletive] mouth,” Smith said as he walked on stage and struck Rock. He then returned to his seat and yelled. On stage, he later apologised.

“I’d like to express my regret to the Academy. I would like to apologise to all of my fellow nominees “he said as he accepted the award for best actor in a tearful acceptance speech.

The actor won his first Academy Award for his role as the father of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams in King Richard. He said, “Art imitates life.” “Like Richard Williams, I have the appearance of a crazy father. Love, on the other hand, will drive you insane.”

Rock’s joke was a reference to Demi Moore’s performance as the title character in the 1997 film GI Jane, in which she wore a buzzcut. In the immediate aftermath of the incident, the comedian appeared stunned, but told the audience, “That was the greatest night in the history of television.” Following the incident, the Los Angeles Police Department told Variety that Rock “declined to file a police report.”

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which hosts the Oscars, issued a statement saying it “does not condone violence in any form.”

Following the incident, Rock presented the best documentary award, which was the reason he was on stage in the first place.

Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry “pulled aside and comforted” a tearful Smith shortly after the incident, according to Scott Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter.

During an ad break, the trio could be seen talking just in front of the stage, with Washington and Perry placing their hands on his shoulders.

Sean will now present the next section “”Will and Chris, we’re going to solve that like family,” Combs said. We’re currently moving forward with love.”
