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.

After years of of being a cuck under Jada, all Will Smith saw was Jada’s face when he struck Chris Rock.
well I don’t know about Matthew but my friends hair did come back.
That’s OK.
There won’t be any “Oscars” in ten years.
They screamed for years “not enough blacks at the Oscars”. Then they had more blacks and the inevitable happened. Oscars had to make this move or people might mistake the Oscars for a Miami airport.
I don’t watch the Oscars, but I have heard from reliable sources that Will was laughing along with Chris Rock until he saw Jada’s face and only then did he slap Chris Rock. We know who calls the shots in that relationship and it ain’t Will.
I don’t think Will’s anger was feigned, just displaced. He’s probably really angry at Jada for cheating on him, but he knows it’s not acceptable to hit your wife, so he takes it out on someone else instead. Heck, he’s probably angry at himself for putting up with it for so long. If you’re a movie star and you could choose between quite a wide selection of women, why would you stay with one who disrespects you and makes a fool out of you, unless deep down you don’t really respect yourself either?
Then they had more blacks and the inevitable happened.
IIRC 9 years ago Orlando Bloom's wife also fooled around on him and he threw a punch at Justin Bieber. Nobody said that this was inevitable when white guys become movie stars. We have enough fools on the left making this about race without adding to it.
Speaking as someone who has been cheated on in the past, it's a miserable experience. Miserable people often lash out and do things they later regret. Race has nothing to do with it.
I haven’t “attended” the Oscars for about 45 years, so who gives a crap?
This Oscars had the first all-black Oscars production team: https://www.tampabay.com/life-culture/arts/movies/2022/03/23/st-petersburgs-will-packer-leads-the-first-all-black-team-oscar-production-team/... and Will Smith ruined it for them. He committed the unpardonable sin.
Will Smith can start a new academy award show.
It would probably draw more viewers than the current POS woke awards.
Should have revoked his SAG card.
what prize does the loser get.
No one’s watching anyway.
