Coda has won the big one! Pulling off a bit of a surprise with a win over the bookies' favourite, The Power of the Dog.Will Smith has won the Oscar for best actor at the 94th Academy Awards, at the Dolby theatre in Los Angeles.

Smith won the prize for his role as Richard Williams, father of tennis champions Venus and Serena Williams, in King Richard, a biopic that outlined Williams’ role in the sisters’ stellar success.

The film was directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and stars Smith in the title role, alongside Aunjanue Ellis as his wife Brandy, Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton as Venus and Serena, and Jon Bernthal as tennis coach Rick Macci. Venus and Serena Williams acted as executive producers on the project.

Smith had already been responsible for the evening’s major drama after he appeared to hit presenter Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada-Pinkett-Smith.
