Musician Questlove and film producers David Dinerstein, Robert Fyvolent, and Joseph Patel were on stage immediately after the incident to accept the Best Documentary Feature award for Summer of Soul, and some commenters opined that the group's win had been overshadowed by the incident.[77][78][79] Gabrielle Ulubay of Marie Claire wrote, "The film deserved to have its moment, and Questlove's touching speech and tribute to his parents deserved to have our full attention—but instead, the world kept its mind on Will Smith and Chris Rock and its eyes on Twitter."[80] Questlove was asked about the slap incident by a reporter in a backstage press conference immediately after leaving the stage, and declined to answer, stating "I'm not talking about that tonight, this is about the Harlem Cultural Festival."[81] In an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon the next night, Questlove said he did not notice the slap in the moment because he was using Transcendental Meditation to curb his anxiety before the winner was called, and did not realize what had happened until "maybe three seconds before I spoke words."[82][83]
