Many of the Oscar audience appeared surprised in the quarrel. Didi was the next presenter during the ceremony, where he appeared to present the celebration of the 50th anniversary in “The Godfather”. Didi referred to the situation, saying: “Will and Chris, we will solve it as a family. At the moment we are moving forward with love. “Everyone is making noise.” Will Smith journalist Meredith O. Sullivan came next to him during the commercial break to talk. Also during the break, Denzel Washington got up to speak to Smith privately. Smith revealed during his speech about the best actor that Washington told him: “At your highest moment, be careful, then the devil is coming to you”. Sullivan continued to visit Smith during each commercial break after the incident. Oscar-winning producer Will Packer also visited Smith before the Best Actor award was announced. Smith was nominated for his performance in “King Richard” and won an Oscar later in the ceremony. “Richard Williams was a tough defender of his family,” Smith said during his speech. He later apologized to the Academy and its candidates for his actions. Pinkett Smith announced last year that she shaved her head after battling alopecia. The actor said in an Instagram post, “Now at this point, I can only laugh… You know I’ve fought alopecia. Suddenly, one day… it appeared like this. Now, it’s going to be a little harder for me to hide. Well, I thought I’d share it so you don’t ask questions… Mom should put it on her scalp so no one would think she had brain surgery or anything like that. “I and this alopecia will become friends… dot!” Rock ended up awarding the documentary Oscar to Questlove for “Summer of Soul”. Asked at the Oscars about Smith hitting Rock, Questlow said, “I’m not talking about that. “This is the Haarlem Cultural Festival.” Variety contacted ABC for further comment on the Smith-Rock incident.
