ARMY OF THE DEAD Wins The #OscarFanFavorite Award... Oh, & Will Smith Slaps Chris Rock In The Face!

We figured this might be the outcome, and sure enough, Zack Snyder's legions of fans have voted Netflix's Army of the Dead the most popular movie of the year at the 94th Academy Awards.

Zack Snyder's Justice League was not eligible for the fan-favorite vote at this year's Academy Awards, but the filmmaker's legions of devotees still found a way to pay tribute to their lord and saviour by pouring all of their votes into Army of the Dead.

Even though Spider-Man: No Way Home seemed a shoo-in to win when this controversial category was first announced, Netflix's zombie movie ended up coming in at #1 over Cinderella, Minamata, No Way Home. and tick, tick... BOOM!

This may not have been particularly shocking, but something happened during the show that most definitely was!

As you'll no doubt have seen or at least heard about by now, Will Smith rose from his seat and slapped Chris Rock in the face after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair. The sound cut out (you can hear the uncensored version below) as Smith sat back down and yelled, "keep my wife's name out your f*cking mouth."

Jane Campion just won Best Director for The Power of The Dog, so things are beginning to wind down. We'll update once the show is over, but for now, let us know what you make of this craziness in the comments section.

You'll find the full list of winners at the link below.

Yeah this kind of proves the Snyder bros mobbed the fan voting. Both the stand up and cheer and fan favorite.

Also Cinderella did make #2. What a joke of an award.

Will Smith even if he doesn't get the Oscar wins the night lol!

I don’t quite grasp why the G.I. Jane joke was so offensive to Smith and Pinkett-Smith (she looked clearly unpleased for sure), but he sure decked Rock right across the jaw.

@MosquitoFarmer - She was having issues with baldness at that time. And it made her very self-consious

@MosquitoFarmer - She is sick, she lost most of her hair, Chris Rock's joked about that.

@MosquitoFarmer - she is losing her hair. Would be okay if someone insulted a loved one going through a medical condition? You guys are weird.

@TheSuperMex - You’re being a tad overly aggressive over something I didn’t know about, but I’m sure you’re judging me over it all the same…

@solskulldeath - She is still the mother of his kids, dude.
I'm totally on Will's side on this.

@TheSuperMex - No, but did Chris Rock know? I have know clue. Likewise, no matter how poor taste the joke, it’s no excuse for battery. Will Smith is completely in the wrong.

@Benjamitesandwich - When your wife is suffering a health condition that she is mentally and emotionally depressed by and a comedian uses a global award show as a platform to insult her, you tell me if a husband is completely in the wrong for standing up for his wife. Especially when people have become so bold to speak with no consequences for the things they say.

@MosquitoFarmer - She has alopecia. Remember when people were commenting about Chadwick Boseman looking frail but didnt know he had CANCER? Yeah, those comments and jokes aged well.
