Will Smith banned from Oscars for 10 years

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 behaviour” in a letter to the full membership after a contentious 9 AM PT starting virtual meeting today concluded.

Will Smith accepts the decision

“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.

“I accept and respect the Academy’s decision,” Smith said in a succinct statement soon after AMPAS made their POV public.
