Jessica Chastain won Best Actress in a Leading Role for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” and launched into a heartfelt speech about moving past “hopelessness” in the world. She noted that suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States, saying it has touched many, “especially” in the LGBTQ community. “You are unconditionally loved for the uniqueness that is you,” she asserted.

“Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family,” Smith said to chuckles from the audience in accepting his Best Actor statue for portraying the father of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams. “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 was one of the most strongest, most delicate people I 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."

From there, Smith alluded to the shocking earlier incident in which he went to the stage and seemingly attacked Chris Rock for joking about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

"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 pretend that that’s OK. … Denzel (Washington) said to me at the highest moment, be careful — that’s when the devil comes for you," continued a tearful, choked-up Smith.

"It’s like, I want to be a vessel for love. I want to say thank you to Venus and Serena and the entire Williams family for entrusting me with your story. That’s what I want to do. I want to be an ambassador of that kind of love and care and concern."

He then offered an apology the Academy and other honorees.

"I want to apologize to the Academy. I want to apologize to all of 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 being able to shine a light on all of the people … Art imitates life; I looked like the crazy father, just like they said about Richard Williams. But love will make you do crazy things. … Being able to love and care for my mother, my family, my wife … thank you for this honor, thank you for this moment.

"Thank you; hoping the Academy invites me back.”

Jane Campion was the second woman in a row to win Best Director. Chloé Zhao won in 2021 for “Nomadland.”

Sister and brother musicians Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell scooped up the Best Original Song for “No Time to Die” from the James Bond film of the same title. Among the people they bested for the honor: Lin-Manuel Miranda, who was in the running for “Dos Oruguitas” from the film “Encanto.” If he had won, Miranda would have become the 17th performer to reach EGOT status — in other words, winning all four big industry awards that include an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.

During the In Memorium segment, “Halloween” legend Jamie Lee Curtis, 63, paid tribute to late, beloved comedy icon and animal rights activist Betty White, who died in December at age 99. She would have turned 100 on Jan. 17, 2022. In White’s honor, Curtis also hit the Oscars red carpet wearing a sustainable Stella McCartney dress that used non-animal materials.

In a shocking, show-stopping moment, Best Documentary presenter Chris Rock zeroed in on Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, joking that he was looking forward to “G.I. Jane 2,” an apparent reference to her shaved head. “Can’t wait to see it,” Rock said. However, her husband Will then sauntered onto the stage and apparently punched Rock — and seemingly not in a playful way. The ceremony’s audio feed then cut — at least in the United States — as Will shouted something to Rock. However, according to BuzzFeed reporter David Mack, the audio was not cut in Australia and Will could reportedly be heard shouting, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth!” 

A stunned Rock could only respond: “That was the greatest night in the history of television.”

WINNER: “Summer of Soul”
“Ascension”
“Attica”
“Flee”
