Well, I guess the people who run the Oscars felt some pressures.

Isn’t this racist because Will Smith is a black man?

Recall so many complaints how Oscars were given to too many white people, and the related implication that “evil” white folks run that organization?

[joshua c]

he’s gonna miss out on a lot of swag

[ameribbean expat]

And this is punishment?

[windsorknot]

So much for a “staged” slap.

[blackdog]

Great. Will Kapernick now.

[immadashell]

I bet the industry blackballs him…wait! I bet they don’t blackball him…wait! Maybe they’ll blackball him…wait! Oh, forget it!

[blackdog]

The Oscar’s were like a slave auction anyway.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Will Smith not permitted to attend Oscars for 10 years

Sounds more like a blessing than a penalty.

[Mathews]

Does that mean he’s also not able to be nominated?

[throwthebumsout]

I hope they don’t ban me!

[SkyDancer]

Won’t be around in ten years; secondly, the statue is male, sexist image. Where’s the outrage? Or, is it gay?

[Jonny7797]

I accept that as punishment. I suspect it wont be enforced though.

[nickcarraway]

Sounds like a reward to me.

[NoLibZone]

Will see a drive-by shooting at the next black Oscars night

[dfwgator]

I guess I stand corrected on thinking it was a hoax.

But I still wouldn’t be surprised if he’s back next year.

[RatRipper]

Punish him by doing him a favor. . . .???? Ban me!! Ban meeeeee!!

[Bernard]

So if he is not allowed to attend the awards show, is that the same as not being eligible to win one? And I wonder what the odds are that the Oscars might not exist in 10 years anyway.

I wonder what they will call the replacement award.

[devere]

I haven’t watched the Oscar show in over 20 years.

[Whatever Works]

But they can still award him Oscars? Awkward.

[VanShuyten]

With his wife, kids, and himself spinning out of control, he probably wouldn’t have made next year’s Oscars anyway because the institution he’ll be confined to will decide not to give him a weekend pass.
