If there’s one image the world will remember after the 2022 Oscars, it’s Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. The American actor broke down after the comedian joked about his girlfriend Jada Pinkett-Smith, just minutes before receiving his first Best Actor Oscar for his role in King Richard.

A surreal scene that completely overshadowed the other events of the evening, such as the funny reaction of Nicole Kidman which quickly became a “meme” on social networks, or the improbable outfit of the Frenchy Timothée Chalamet to walk the red carpet of the evening. But also on stage, the public was treated to beautiful moments like this kind of event knows how to offer.

A cult dance step

In particular, a moment rich in emotion when a legendary trio is shown on stage to present a prize. Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman and John Travoltathe three stars of Quentin Tarantino’s mythical film Pulp Fiction, came together for a tribute for the 28th anniversary of the release of the feature film. The last two cities, interpreters of Mia and Vincent, even offered themselves a moment of anthology, by recreating their cult dance to the movements so particular during the dinner scene.

For his part, Samuel L. Jackson, who played Jules in the gangster film, arrived on stage with the famous black briefcase, central element of the scenario and whose content has never been revealed. Note that the 73-year-old actor also received an honorary Oscar two days earlier for his entire career, from the hands of Denzel Washington. With this entrance on stage, they organized a real moment of nostalgia for the fans who rejoiced in this beautiful tribute on social networks, showing how much the film still remains as cultalmost 30 years after its release in cinemas.
