Will Smith is addressing the Oscars slap controversy in his first on-camera apology since the incident.
The actor, who walked away with an Oscar for best actor the same night he slapped Chris Rock on the awards stage, released a video titled "It's Been A Minute" Friday addressing some of the common questions people asked after the incident, including why he didn't apologize to Rock during his acceptance speech.
