Oscars slap: Will Smith vs Chris Rock The 53-year-old Emancipation star made headlines at the Academy Awards in March last year when he stormed on to the stage and slapped host Chris Rock across the face after the comedian joked about Smith's wife and actress Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head. Pinkett Smith suffers from the medical hair-loss condition alopecia.

Emancipation' snub According to Radar Online, the Oscar-winning actor did not take the Golden Globes snub of his latest movie, Emancipation, too well. The very modest box office grossing has done nothing to lift the actor's mood. So far the slavery drama directed by Antoine Fuqua, which cost $120 million (about R2 billion) to make, has only earned an average of $3k (R51 000) per screening.
An insider told Radar Online: Will knows it's a long road to redemption and a lot of folks won't forgive him. But this really rams it home.
