[laughter] oh! wow. wow. will smith just smacked the [bleep] out of me. >> keep my wife name out of your [bleep] mouth! >> wow, dude. >> yeah. >> it was a "g.i. jane" joke. >> keep my wife's name out your [bleep] mouth! >> i'm going to, okay. >> sean: in fairness, chris rock told tmz said he was unaware of her condition and breaking a while ago, will smith apologized to chris rock and the film academy did release a statement condemning will smith's actions. they announce they are launching a former review into the incident. another industry source told "people" magazine that having him removed from last night's oscars was a serious consideration but i guess they mean take the oscar back for even though the l.a.p.d., they bylaw can arrest will smith, even without chris rock filing a police report. he declined la

i know a lot of people will be talking about will smith. but really, coda is such an important win for the industry. >> okay katie, thank you, i'm sure i recognize that lady from the west wing. maybe i'm wrong. lovely to see you, thank you very much katie, i'm sure you will update us in the next hour. thank you very much indeed. going to talk about the oscars in more detail. also going to be reflecting on what we have heard from the education secretary. had that sly issued and way. trying to hear about animals and ukraine and how you can help to support some of the forgotten animals, not just pets, but also animals in the zoos and ukraine. we'll have more onl have more on in just a few moments. on tomorrow's take as well, of coming up in the 9:00 hour. but certainly, the story that has been dominating our program this morning, here at 9:00, the oscars, which are back, not with a bang, but a punch was made from the best actor award and his portrayal of richard williams the father of tennis stars venus and serena williams and the ceremony wil

, and will smith didn't like that. as you say, he is traded on stage, he punched chris rock and then went back to his seat and then engaged in this slanging match, with some pretty uncouth language that i've got to say wasn't broadcast here in the united states. it did go out on the air in some other countries, and it has really left everyone in the auditorium quite gobsmacked. if you look at social media, there are some extraordinary photos of some of the stars, how they reacted to that size moment. let me bring on our guests here, sandro minette he is a los angeles—based journalist and the bbc�*s tom brook is with us as well. sandro, it was indeed an extraordinary moment. 50 as well. sandro, it was indeed an extraordinary moment. so we were watching — an extraordinary moment. so we were watching the _ an extraordinary moment. so we were watching the oscars - an extraordinary moment. so we were watching the oscars and i were watching the oscars and then— were watching the oscars and then a — were watching th

smith's history. >> i read will smith's autobiography. he describes himself as a coward. that was a poignant thing to say out loud. >> laura: his background and the violence in his home, made him do it. >> the left never gets away from normalizing bad behavior. in this case they racialized it. there is no need for this. when i was a little kid my grandmother told me sticks and stones could break my bones but words could never hurt me. that's a lesson i lived for my entire life. that's a good lesson that will smith could have benefitted from. i will add it's not actually a cool thing to do to mock people for their medical conditions. i know we want to do a lot of things for a joke. we could find a lot to laugh about without going in that particular direction. >> laura: vince, when we think about what happened to the culture in general, we are seeing on video people beating each other up in airports. the knockout game. pushing people from behind. we see people pushed in front of trains in new york. the most rank violence. it's glorified on

>> i listened to the will smith autobiography "will," which is really good. this is a guy who has, to this day, whether or not he realizes it, a lot of pain from his very unhappy childhood with an abusive four and he felt guilty about not standing up for his mother. i'm not excusing anything. anything at all, and i know you aren't either, but trying to understand. >> you're talking contextually. i think we have had this conversation so many times. this story is so layered and i tweeted this earlier. there is not one person who was right and one person who was wrong, and so many times we want to take sides and it's just not that simple with this case. i did read the book. i did feel as if he was -- and i'm not a psychologist but, you're right, there was a lot of trauma there. for him to look over at his wife and see her pain and be at their breaking point -- because let's look at his long career. will, for better or for worse, has not done anything incorrect in his career. very few missteps when it comes to will smith. >> not that we know of. >> so when you se

it was a good film, will smith was good in it. he took their shine away last night and if they took that oscar that's even more shine away from their story. they still get the claim that they did live it and are better for it appeared all right, coming up. president biden's tendency to get off script because single, global confusion. the white house is forced to walk back a series of gaps in the world stage. they should be practiced at that. they should put music to it. will be up next. and hard work. over time, i've come to add a fourth: be curious. be curious about the world around us, and then go. go with an open heart, and you will find inspiration anew. viking. exploring the world in comfort. and it's easy to get a quote at libertymutual.com so you only pay for what you need. isn't that right limu? limu? sorry, one sec. doug blows a whistle.

i don't demonize will smith. i wish will had done something different in that moment. >> after the oscars, the smiths, ignoring questions from the press as they walked the blue carpet at the vanity fair after party. smith smiling with his family, and then partying and dancing with his gold statue. >> those of us who had tickets to go to the governor's ball after the telecast, that's all everybody was talking about. which is unfortunate, again, because this is a night where a woman won best director, where a streaming film made history. and yes, where a former rapper turned actor finally collected a best acting trophy. and the thing we're talking about is none of those things. >> the 94th year of hollywood's biggest night of the year marked by historic firsts, nearly overlooked. the first all black production team led by hollywood veteran will packer. >> because reputation matters. imagery matters. there is some kid throughout that says i don't look like all the other 94 producers, but i look like that guy. >> ari

i guess will smith was character. but that performance was better than anything they were honoring last night. now, this is hollywood after all. so, we have to ask, was it staged? was it a publicity stunt? well, if so, bravo. the acting was phenomenal and i am all in. an actor slaps a comic and america forgets about the war in ukraine. it would make sense if this was phony, hollywood is full of phonies but this looks real to me. whichs it pretty messed up. the back story is this will smith slapped a comedian who made a joke about his wife's hair. i'm not defending the joke. jada has a medical condition and lost her hair. it doesn't seem that chris knew that. he said he didn't. so the joke was border line. but it was still a joke. told by the funniest comedians in america at the academy awards. where for the last 80 years or so the host roasts the celebrates, they play along, collect their award and ride home to their castle. it's like going into the library and being shocked to see books. of course there is going to b

will smith is savvy. you know that, will smith is smart. what does he do to make things better? >> yeah, well, he has taken a couple steps. i think today's instagram post went a long way by apologizing both to chris rock and the academy and also the williams sisters and family and the cast and the crew of "king richard." and so i think that's as much as he can do. i think for the next couple of years at least he'll do whatever the academy wants him to do. the academy said today that it is investigating. what to could do is disinvite him to next year's oscars. worse than that, it could considerably take back the academy award. but right now i don't think anyone thinks that's going to happen. worst case, it could also abandon him like harvey weinstein from the academy. but i don't think his offense is viewed as that egregious. >> and i think it will be fascinating to see chris rock's reaction to this, his next public move. ted chen, appreciate your time tonight. >> thank you, raj. good to see you. >>> we also talked to bay area comedian brian copeland. he said the on-stage assault

we will bring you the latest details on the will smith incident. a lot of huge developments tonight. two shocking polls taken after the slap heard around the world. guess what? a lot of people want smith to coat to jail. pam bondi next. >> sean: still a lot to chatter all across hollywood tonight over will smith's oscar slap, the slap heard around the world as the academy, a former review of the incident where the full board of governors will determine the severity of any consequences. submit the posture his wife raised eyebrows with this cryptic post, this is the season of healing and i'm here for it. last night, smith did apologize. but i want you to think about this question tonight. a lot of these celebrities, they go out, i'm sorry, i apologize... do you think these are real? our most liberty apologies real? first, you've got to know this but he did not write all this himself is my best guess. you have a room full of woke millionaires come up by the way, just to start with. we shouldn't care, but we do. what do you think went on behind the sce

regina: will smith, you are married, but you know what? it looks like you are on the list and she approved you so come u here. >> will smith laughed about that joke but he was not laughing later. >> it was kind of hard to watch i guess because it is really the best night of his life in a way and it also might have some repercussions. >> and the oscar goes to -- >> and when the more peter to pull event of the night happened -- >> will smith! >>'s best actor win making -- his best actor win making him the fifth black actor to do so. the question was only if he would apologize. will: i know to do what we do, you have to be able to take abuse. you have to be able to have people talk crazy about you get in this business, you have to be able to have people disrespecting you. and you have to smile and pretend like that is ok. i want to apologize to the academy. i want to apologize to my fellow nominees. love will make you do crazy things. >> it overshadowed the glorious night, with a film about deaf culture making history, with the best supportin

clearly they're talking about will smith and chris rock. they say that the individual has declined to press charges. so clearly they're talking about chris rock saying no, he doesn't want to press charges, but they say if the individual does, then they will investigate. >> thank you for staying on top of this for us. you look stunning by the way. love that dress on you. >> reporter: thank you, having so much fun. purple velvet. >> get ready for that after party, too. send us some invites as well. >> there we go. we'll have much more about will smith ahead in this half hour coming up. >>> turning to the war in ukraine. in-person peace talks between the russians and ukrainians are resuming, set to take place in istanbul. as the war rages on, ukraine's president congratulated his forces for regaining control of several towns. terry moran has more. >> reporter: ukraine claiming new victories on the battle field. ukrainian forces have retaken several villages around kharkiv in the east. that's a city that's held out against russian assaults for

this statement on instagram from will smith in the last half an hour or from will smith in the last halfan hour orso... from will smith in the last half an hour or so... were you surprised by the fact he has made this decision to apologise after that shocking incident? it's interesting, because in that very tearful acceptance speech, will smith apologised to his fellow nominees and the academy, but he didn't apologise to chris rock. now he has done so, a fulsome apology on instagram. he says, violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive, my behaviour last night was unacceptable and inexcusable. jokes at my expense are a part of thejob, he jokes at my expense are a part of the job, he says, jokes at my expense are a part of thejob, he says, but jokes at my expense are a part of the job, he says, but a joke about my wife's medical condition was too much for me to bear and i reacted emotionally. i want to publicly apologise to you, chris. this follows the news earlier today that the academy is looking into this incident. it is a major test now for the academy of motion pictures,

me dice " yo creo que se equivocÓ will smith. yo creo que ensuciÓ una noche hermosa para Él y ahorita todo el mundo estÁ hablando del golpe, no de su oscar". lo puedes hablar, pero creo que la violencia y sobre todo en estos tiempos, creo que no fue un buen camino al que siguiÓ. >> no obstante, eugenio cumpliÓ un sueÑo que tenÍa desde hace muchos aÑos. >> no te que estas estrellas con las que yo siempre crecÍ admirando y que incluso, en otras alfombras rojas, las veo. y en esta ocasiÓn, se me acercaron muchos de ellos a felicitarme y para mÍ me dio mucha emociÓn ver cÓmo me decÍan " felicidades, me encantÓ tu trabajo, la pelÍcula ". a mÍ me hizo la noche. imagÍnate, como pavo real. no me lo esperaba. de repente se parÓ y me querÍa desmayar, la verdad. se siente muy bonito. >> lo que mÁs me gusta es que en su cara se le ve la emociÓn que todavÍa siente y le sorprenden las cosas, todavÍa se la vive. lili: es muy difÍcil romper esas barreras que por tantos aÑos han tenido en hollywood con los hispanos. hemo

you will probably not be handed a trophy within 15 minutes of doing it. >> will smith! >> reporter: after winning oscar for best actor, smith apologized to everyone, it seemed, except chris rock. >> i want to apologize to the academy, i want to apologize to all my fellow nominees. >> reporter: he later celebrated on a night where the historic win for "coda" for best picture was completely overshadowed by this. >> oh, wow! >> kevin frazier joins us now from los angeles. so kevin, do we know if the academy is considering punishment for will smith? >> reporter: they are. you know, in 2017, they amended their code of conduct after the harvey weinstein scandal where he was ousted from the membership. will will most likely face disciplinary action, but they don't think he'll lose his oscar. >> and kevin, has anyone heard from chris rock? >> reporter: chris went to a different after party last night, and a source there told us that while he didn't want to talk about it, and that he just wanted to move on, he was there to kind of have fun and forget about it. and also that we a

will smith hit chris rock after the comedian made a joke about the appearance of smith's wife? it was the year's biggest night in hollywood with a star studded line up the academy awards honoring the film industry's best movies at the oscars ceremony. but the night was overshadowed by an incident on stage. comedian chris rock made a joke about act at will smith's wife, j pink at smith, who suffer strong alopecia. it didn't go down to well, taylor lug her g r j into can't wait to see you. ah, oh ricka. oh, wow. wow. do it was a g i jane jokey, mark boy? oh, yeah. a jaw dropping moment for viewers around the world. smith then went on to win best actor for his performance in king richard. a movie about the father of tennis does venus and serena williams, and he apologized in his acceptance speech. your part imitates life. i looked like the crazy father lives, like they say alert crazy father just like they said about with you or your own, but law will make you do crazy things. the lapd says it won't take things further. as chris rock declined to file a police report. oscars organi

will smith going off script. losing his temper at chris rock. >> he my wife's name out of your mouth. >> i'm going to, okay? >> having enough of jokes that his wife jada's expense. >> that was the greatest night in the history of television. >> i know to do but we do, you've got to be able to take abuse and you've got to be able to have people talk crazy about you. in this business, you've got to be able to have people disrespecting. and you've got a smile and pretend like that is okay. and at your highest moment, be careful, that is when the devil comes free. >> his speech becoming a disturbing demonstration of the pressure of fame and intensity of hollywood. >> will smith trauma aside, a landmark moment for representation as a little in the film called code at one best picture. and for an event fame for self indulgence, there is a lot of compassion for others in the speeches. >> this is dedicated to the deaf community. >> sir kenneth branagh dedicating his oscar to others. we will never forget all of those lost

will smith was allowed to accept his award. he was given as much time as he wanted to speak, well over four or five minutes. as far as i can see, he didn't pay any real consequences for what he did. i just wonder, there are so many people -- we're having these conversations about cancel culture. here is a situation where a comic told a joke and got physically assaulted. no one in the room really seemed to penalize will smith for it. the academy didn't penalize will smith for it. the producer of the oscar cast didn't penalize will smith for it. we now hear that chris rock is not going to press charges. who is going to ensure that someone pays a price for committing an act of violence on live television? that's the question i have still today. >> there's so much context here. none of it excuses the use of violence, but i do just want to mention for people who aren't necessarily aware, there was a joke that chris rock told back in 2016 at the expense of jada pinkett smith and at the expense of rhianna. it's important to note that

will smith slapping comedian chris rock after he told a joke about smith's wife. about 45 minutes later, will smith won the oscar for best actor. tonight, what the academy is signaling so far. and here's abc's kayna whitworth. >> oh, wow! >> reporter: it was one of the most shocking moments in the 94 years of oscars history. actor will smith slapping comedian chris rock on live tv stunning the audience in the theater. and at home, millions watching, in the u.s. and all over the world. tonight, the academy condemning smith's actions in a new addinge officially started a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences." the slap coming after chris rock made this joke about smith's wife, jada pinkett smith, and her shaved head. >> jada, i love you. "g.i. jane 2," can't wait to see it, all right. >> reporter: smith, laughing at first. his wife jada clearly not happy with the joke. >> oh, that was a nice one. okay. >> reporter: will smith leaving his seat, walking up to the stage and right up to chris rock. >> oh, wow. >> reporter: th

but then as time went on, there were a lot of people in the theater is said, will smith was extremely upset and that people were coming to him during various commercial way. people like then they're washington and tyler perry in his age. and so that's when people started to realize, oh this is not plan, this is very real and it, we just kind of off the rails from there. okay, and can you just tell us, i mean, an incredible moment of drama? i think we can understand husband's. you know, willingness to, to defend his wife who's suffering from a medical condition. i guess we'll see what the internet says about it. but if we can just move on to the movies here for a 2nd, let's talk about the other. where starting with the best picture going to coda, a film with mostly deaf rafters. yet what's all that about? you know what, they won 3 important awards. first things 1st with kodak, troy cops, or one for best supporting actor. he is the 1st death actor to win, and that just remarkable. so he won, made history to night, of course code, again, one for best adapted screenplay. and then lastly,

that you tweeted out that the person most hurt by will smith's slap is will smith. how so? >> yeah. you know, will smith overshadowed what should have been a real highlight of his career, that has been decaded in the making. the headlines this morning should have been about his amazing journey from teen rapper from philadelphia to an academy award winner and one of the few african american ever presented with this honor and instead it is about him slapping chris rock and chris rock coming out looking good in this whole s scenario. even though he made that tasteless, cruel joke about jada pinkett-smith. >> was it cruel. to my ears ji jane is bad ass and i think he said i love you jada. he was trying to couch it and now we know that she doesn't have hair because of alopecia, a medical condition. but to your ears, was that cruel. >> there is context here that is important. absent the context, it sounds as far as chris rock is concerned, a very benign joke. but the context is two-fold. for one, they have history. chris rock has mommed the smiths at the oscars before in

here's the thing will will smith. we saw somebody that snapped. he was probably later on embarrassed to realize what he just did. in that moment he clearly snapped. here's the thing. number 1, you shouldn't be physically attacking anybody. let's not have that happen. number 2, if you're going to slap somebody, don't let it be a comedian who is chris rock whose brand and persona is to make fun of people. and number 3, don't do it at the oscars. if will smith instead of slapping, maybe if the camera went to him and he glared and them and said not funny, that would have made a bigger point. right now will smith is the punch line right now. he's the -- lack of better words or phrases, he's going to be the butt of all jokes. for chris rock, the secondary ticket sales, he's on tour right now. his tickets have sky rocketed. ticket prices have skyrocketed for chris rock. everybody wants to see what he will say next, what his response is. going to what you talked with abby about, i don't think the oscars should take away his trophy. i think maybe he gets l
