With their options rather limited, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Board of Governors have just decided that Will Smith will not be able to attend the Oscars for 10 years for slapping Chris Rock on-stage at the 94th Academy Awards on March 27.
“The Board has decided, for a period of 10 years from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards,” said AMPAS president David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson of Smith’s “unacceptable and harmful behavior” in a letter to the full membership after a contentious 9 AM PT starting virtual meeting today concluded. “We also hope this can begin a time of healing and restoration for all involved and impacted,” they added at the end of the letter.

Jada’s gonna be fine.
she has baldness in spots and shaves her head. and has for a long time.
I think the slap was wrong, dumb, nasty and silly but no more silly than the hypocritical Oscars’ board banning Smith from attending their annual political charade.
OK, so now we know what WILL NOT get you kicked out, WTF will???
He has ‘F’ you money, so I doubt he really cares.
Well, I may be the only one but I think that’s too harsh. Maybe a year or two.
Perfect description.
I think it would be cold comfort to stare at an award for the next decade knowing that your colleagues are being feted year after year. Seriously…who can name the best actor for 2012? Who even cares??? Other than those in the Hollywood bubble. It’s all vanity.
Completely agree: they stand and applaud Roman Polanski a friggin pervert and condemn Smith for defending his unloving wife’s “honor”.
I think that I would banned him for one year - or until he dumps that overpriced hag he’s married to.
Speaking of Cancelled Critters:
I say Charlie Rose deserves a sip or two of that Forgive Wine.
“Mistakes were made.”
Lucky him.
This is Hollywood’s idea of detox. Best thing for him and his family.Maybe they will move out of CA.
Chris Rock will MC next year and the ratings will be huge.
Well, Smith accomplished one thing. He got one redneck Texan to take notice of his name for the first time. Prior to slapping Rock, one of my favorite comedians, I honestly don’t recall ever knowing who Smith was and really still don’t.
But, honestly, I have not been to a movie in 20 years and don’t own a TV. Too many disgusting commercials and disgusting, perverse sit coms are ample reason to throw the TV in the lake!
she had a straight line on the top of the head that she showed. I cant see it in any of the Oscar photos but alopecia doesn’t look like that in any of the pictures I have looked at.
if anything..she might have traction alopecia from wearing weaves, etc.
Will Smith is a talented actor and is finding out just how useless the oscar org is.
Smith resigned from SAG...will he even get ANY parts???
Questions - He is banned from “going” to the Oscars? Is he banned from “receiving” any Oscars? Or both?
all i now is my friend had alopecia areata in high school, stress induced.
Her mom took her back to Sicily that summer, and whatever stuff they rubbed on her head worked,( olive oil??) cause her hair grew back.
Jada’s been a baldini for a long time, and she could wear a wig if it means that much to her.
some folks here are making a big deal out of nothing that big- and i’m waiting for someone to suggest J should get a handicapped parking pass. Her medical condition and all. pfft.
Matthew Mccaughney swears that something he put on his head for years helped him grow back his hair. I am dubious.
