Oscars 2022: All the Details on Serena Williams’ ‘Edgy, Fun and Flirty’ Blunt Bob

“So much of what happened after that is still a blur,” writes Serena Williams in Elle’s adaption from Arrival Stories: Women Share Their Experiences of Becoming Mothers. In the essay, Serena, 40, recalled the complications — and multiple surgeries — that followed the birth of her and husband Alexis Ohanian’s daughter, Olympia. “My husband left—to get food and shower back at the house—and this started a trend in which every time he’d try to leave, I’d wind up back in the operating room,” writes the tennis icon.

lost ground in the never-ending battle for equality (and in fighting our own battles, as well). There were some strides, as “CODA,” a female-directed-and-written film took Best Picture and Jane Campion snagged Best Director (the third woman in 94 years) for “The Power of the Dog,” but the talk of every after-party on Sunday night wasn’t celebrating those achievements; instead, every conversation was about the two famous men and the one famous woman at the center of the storm.But Hollywood’s return to the party swirl had plenty of glitz and glamour as the week unfolded – and lots of love, too, overriding that violent interlude seen around the world.

An unexpected twist. Serena Williams couldn’t hide her shock when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith.

Serena Williams was left in shock after Will Smith punched Chris Rock at the Oscars, just moments before accepting the Best Actor award for his portrayal of her dad. Will played the role of Serena and Venus Williams’ father, Richard Williams, in the biopic King Richard and scooped an Oscar for the role at the ceremony on Sunday evening. However, less than an hour earlier, things took a dramatic turn when the 53 year old jumped on stage after comedian Chris made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith.

“Keep my wife’s name out of your f****** mouth. ” That’s what best actor winner Will Smith shouted - twice - after hitting Chris Rock in the face for making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair. Going out un-bleeped in the UK, it was a bizarre, shocking moment of violence that cast a weird pall over the rest of the awards, not least Smith’s own win for King Richard.

Major misunderstanding? Chris Rock is not filing a police report after Will Smith slapped him at the 2022 Oscars.

A lot of the cute moments that happened at the Oscars weren’t seen on TV.

Making the best of a wild situation? Will Smith just won his first-ever Academy Award at the 2022 Oscars — nabbing the Best Actor trophy for his portrayal of Serena and Venus Williams‘ father, Richard Williams, in 2021’s King Richard — but his drama with Chris Rock overshadowed the moment.

Beyonce is kicking off the show.

The queen is here! Beyoncé kicked off the 2022 Oscars with a performance that’s sure to go down in awards show history.

As reported by Variety earlier this week, Best Original Song nominee Beyonce opened Sunday night’s 94th Academy Awards ceremony with a tribute to Venus and Serena Williams performed on the famed tennis courts “in the heart of beautiful Compton, where we truly came alive as professional athletes,” the sisters said when introducing the singer’s opening set.Of course, Beyonce performed “Be Alive,” her song from the Will Smith-starring film about the Williams sisters, “King Richard.” The performance opened with a number of characteristically statuesque Beyonce dancers, clad in tennis-ball-green outfits, walking down a Compton street toward the courts, past the kind of low-rider cars made world-famous in Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg videos in the 1990s.
