“Will Smith has been banned from the Oscars for 10 years for slapping Chris Rock, but will be allowed to keep his award for Best Actor.

“The Academy reached its decision on Friday, nearly two weeks after the infamous slap that was heard around the world.

“The 54-person Board of Governors met on Friday morning after furious debate between its 9,000 members raged over the last 12 days in hundreds of WhatsApp groups. “

“Allowed to keep”? Once they handed it over to Smith it became his to do with as he pleased.

It is a good thing that Will Smith is able to keep the Oscar as his wife Jada has already used the Oscar as a sex toy.....

Chris was lucky that he only was slapped for insulting Will’s wife. He should have got knocked on his rear biscuits. That’s what real serious husbands do.

The Oscars won’t be around in ten years so no problem; secondly, isn’t the statue male? Sexist?

If Chris Rock appears next year, I hope he (and everyone else) jokes non-stop about Will and Jada since Will won’t be there to smack him/them. Weirdos Will and Jada deserve every bit of mocking they get.

This fellow and David Niven (both RIP) provided much better entertainment at the Oscars.

There is a fool in my senior softball league who has a reputation of going further than what Will Smith did but he's still playing.

Nobody cares about these elitist pricks or the Oscars but I care about my senior softball league.

This may be the year the prick meets his comeuppance........and it won't be a golden statue.

The Academy just wants him to stay home, hoping that he tunes in next year and boosts their TV viewer ratings, which are totally in the toilet. Every little bit helps.

Why is this in Breaking News and not in WGAF Chat?

I don’t think Chris Rock has recovered from this event either, but for different reasons. That slap seems to have thrown Chris off his game. It may have shattered his Stage Presence and confidence.

It takes a heck of a lot of courage to stand up on a stage and present yourself as some who’s going to be not just entertaining, but somebody who will make you laugh.
You have to remember your jokes, your tone and your timing.
You have to read the room as well. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear he has decided to go on a Two Year Break.

Good thing he’s not white, huh?

Did Chris Rock face any punishment for insulting Smith’s wife?
