Jane Campion became just the third woman in nine decades to win the best director on Sunday at an Academy Awards celebration that was disrupted when nominee Will Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock onstage over a joke about the actor's wife.

Axar.az reports quoting Reuters.

Hollywood's most prestigious awards ceremony returned to all-out glitz at the Dolby Theatre after pandemic restrictions limited the event last year. The mood was mostly upbeat until Smith unexpectedly strode onto the stage after Rock made fun of the hairstyle of Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

Rock referenced the 1997 movie "G.I. Jane," in which actress Demi Moore shaved her head.

Smith, who is nominated for best actor for "King Richard," slapped Rock in what at first appeared to be a scripted joke.

But the theater turned sombre moments later when Smith, back in his seat, shouted back, "Keep my wife's name out of your fu*king mouth." Smith's comment was silenced during the live U.S. broadcast on Walt Disney Co's
