The Oscar presenter recalls Smith’s famous slap…and makes fun of it

Actor Will Smith’s famous slap to his fellow Oscar presenter Chris Rock did not go unnoticed. The famous journalist Jimmy Kimmel did not miss the opportunity to present it to this year’s ceremony without mentioning it sarcastically.

He began his introduction to the ceremony, saying: “We know that this night is special for you .. and we want you to enjoy your time .. we want you to feel safe, and most importantly I want to feel safe, so we have put in place strict policies, if anyone in this theater commits an act He’ll get an Oscar for Best Actor and he’ll be allowed to give a 19-minute speech,” he said, referring to the speech Smith gave after winning an Oscar for his role in “King Richard” despite slapping co-star Chris Rock.
“hug the aggressor”
He added, “If something unexpected happens during the celebration, do what you did last year: nothing. Sit in your seats and do nothing at all. Even if you want to, hug the abuser.”
And he continued, “If one of you gets angry because of a joke he has made, and if you decide to go on stage, it will not be easy…you have to get over my friends first.”

“The famous slap”
The 95th edition of the Academy Awards this year is witnessing drastic transformations after the famous Oscar slap, which the host of the ceremony, Chris Rock, received last year from international star Will Smith after he mocked his wife’s illness.

For fear of the emergence of other violent incidents at the hands of a “new Will Smith”, panic gripped the organizers of the ceremony, as the Academy of Photo Arts and Sciences “Oscars” decided to develop a security plan that included a team to monitor and prevent violent incidents during the ceremony and punish those who cause chaos among the attendees.
