This year marked a big return for the Oscars and it most certainly came with its fair share of drama.
An unexpected altercation went down on stage and on camera when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for his comments about the actor’s wife, leaving the audience in shock and lost for words.
Naturally, Smith’s actions caused quite the stir on social media and, of course, the internet added an entirely satirical spin on the situation.
From comical memes to more serious ones, there’s no denying this Oscars moment has become a part of the social media zeitgeist.
Bringing some humour to the table, here’s some of the ones that, to us, really stood out.
