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

Well, there’s some precedent for revoking Oscars. It happened once before with a documentary called “Young Americans” which won in 1969 but was later was determined to be ineligible having been released in theaters before the qualifying period. Obviously, it might be hard to get the statuette back from him, but should could cancel his award like they did for “Young Americans” and declare his runner-up to have won the category.

The Academy can rescind the award. Also worth noting: many people have had honors rescinded due to cancel culture.

They aren't simply talking about the statue.

Respectfully, the concept of any right to own private property is on its way in the next few decades to becoming very old-fashioned. (/snort)

Not at all. Oscars have many strings attached. You are now forbidden to sell them unlike the past.
