😉 Actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who hosted this weekend's Saturday Night Live show, reflected on how Chris Rock was not the only one who got beaten by Will Smith at Oscars 2022.

🙂 Cumberbatch was nominated for the Academy Award this year in the Best Actor category for his performance in 'Power of the Dog'. However, the Oscar went to Will Smith - who, however, was not necessarily remembered exclusively for his award that night.

"I didn't win. I was beat by Will Smith... not physically! Not physically," Cumberbatch joked.
