quote:

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said on Friday that Will Smith would be barred from attending the Oscars for 10 years because of the “harmful behavior” he displayed when he struck the comedian Chris Rock during last month’s ceremony.


quote:

In an open letter released after a morning meeting of the academy’s 54 governors, the group’s president, David Rubin, and its chief executive, Dawn Hudson, also called Mr. Smith’s behavior “unacceptable” and admitted to not handling the situation properly during the telecast.

“For this, we are sorry,” said the statement. “This was an opportunity for us to set an example for our guests, viewers and our Academy family around the world, and we fell short — unprepared for the unprecedented.”


quote:

The academy declined to elaborate on whether Mr. Smith remains eligible to be nominated for Oscars, but two industry figures with knowledge of its rules and who were granted anonymity to discuss academy proceedings said that Mr. Smith is still eligible to win Oscars but cannot attend the Academy Awards ceremony and other events.

Next year Smith will show up, claim beef, it will be all over the media, and will yet again boost Oscar viewership among the fricking retarded brawndo crowd.

i’d bet he attends an Oscar ceremony much sooner than 2032.

Seems harsh for a staged event. Oh yeah, the Oscars is a staged event.

I wonder if Jada is banned too?

She sparked the whole thing.

Out of protest, I am not watching The Oscars next decade.

Make it 2 decades. No, 3.

I’m pissed.
