Will Smith is taking his first Oscar award home for best actor for his role in "King Richard."
"Art imitates life. I look like the crazy father," a tearful Smith says in his acceptance speech taking his award and after the incident with Rock. "Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family. In this time in my life, in this moment, I am overwhelmed by what God is calling me to do and be in this world ... I know to do what we do, you've got to be able to take abuse, you've got to be able to take people talking crazy about you, people disrespecting you, and you got to smile and pretend that's OK."
He also apologized to "the Academy and all 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 shining a light. ... Love will make you do crazy things."
