Will Smith Acceptance Speech 2022

Will Smith Acceptance Speech 2022: Will Smith picked up the Best Actor Oscar for his role as the self-centered patriarch in The Williams Method, an account of the rise of tennis players Serena and Venus Williams.

But What Went Through Will Smith’s Head?

This is the question asked by the Oscars audience on the night of Sunday, March 27 to Monday, March 28, 2022. When comedian Chris Rock humorously evokes the shaved head of his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, comparing it to that of Demi Moore in the film A Equal Arms, the actor literally exploded. Will Smith stood up and punched Chris Rock, before yelling, “Leave my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth!” His wife indeed suffers from alopecia, a disease that forced her to shave her head.

The sequence caused unease in the assembly. During the commercial break, Denzel Washington tried to calm the actor and his wife down. The actor was seen in tears during this sequence, probably measuring the scope of his gesture. Later, Will Smith received the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in The Williams Method.

In this time in my life, in this moment, I am overwhelmed by what God is calling on me to do and be in this world. Making this film, I got to protect Aunjanue Ellis, who is one of the most strongest, most delicate people I’ve ever met. I got to protect Saniyya [Sidney] and Demi [Singleton], the two actresses that played Venus and Serena.

I’m being called on in my life to love people and to protect people and to be a river to my people. I know to do what we do, you gotta be able to take abuse, you gotta be able to have people talk crazy about you. In this business, you gotta be able to have people disrespecting you, and you gotta smile and you gotta pretend like that’s OK,” he continued. “But Richard Williams and what I loved — thank you D, Denzel [Washington] said to me a few minutes ago, ‘At your highest moment, be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you.’ It’s like I want to be a vessel for love.

I want to be an ambassador of that kind of love and care and concern. I want to apologize to the Academy, I want to apologize to all my fellow nominees. This is a beautiful moment and I’m not crying for winning an award, it’s not about winning an award for me, it’s about bring able to shine a light.

Art imitates life. I look like the crazy father, just like they said about Richard Williams. But love will make you do crazy things.

I hope the Academy invites me back.
