, according to Live + Same Day Nielsen data. While the Oscars’ audience dipped from there, it spiked again during Smith’s best actor win and acceptance speech shortly after 11 p.m. ET, this time by 614,000 viewers.
The most-watched portion of the entire show was the 15 minutes between 9:15 p.m. and 9:29 p.m., which saw “CODA” star Troy Kotsur win best supporting actor. At approximately 10:27 p.m. ET during the 94th Academy Awards telecast, Smith went on stage at the Dolby Theater and smacked Rock in the face after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, referencing “G.I. Jane.” He then screamed at Rock to “leave my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth,” which was censored by broadcaster ABC in the U.S. Pinkett Smith has previously said she suffers from alopecia.
Roughly 40 minutes later — and already 10 minutes over the expected 11 p.m. ET end to the awards show — Smith was named best actor for his portrayal of Richard Williams, the father of tennis greats Venus and Serena Williams, in “King Richard.” He then took the stage again and gave a tearful five-minute acceptance speech, which included an apology to the Academy and to his fellow nominees — though he did not mention Rock.
“Love will make you do crazy things,” he said, adding, “To do what we do, you got to be able to take abuse. You got to be able to have people talk crazy about you. In this business you got to be able to have people disrespecting you. And you got to smile, you got to pretend like that’s okay.”
