Then, Cumberbatch couldn’t help but to make a jab at the slap heard ’round the world, a.k.a. the Will Smith and Chris Rock incident at the 2022 Academy Awards. Cumberbatch joked that he lost out on the Best Actor award and said, “I didn’t win. I was beaten by Will Smith… not physically!

Cumberbatch isn’t the only one in Hollywood to joke about the Smith/Rock slap, despite the fact that it’s been weeks since the Academy Awards.
