For several weeks, foreign newspapers have been discussing the scandal that took place at the Oscars. As we said earlier, during the awards show, Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock in the face for telling a bad joke about his wife, Jada.
First, Will apologized to the presenter and organizers of the award, and then decided to leave the American Film Academy. “I did not justify the academy’s trust. “I am resigning from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and I am ready to take whatever punishment the board deems appropriate,” he said.
Now representatives of the organization are deciding whether it is possible to abandon the Oscar for the actor, which he received for his role in the movie “King Richard”. According to the Daily Mail, members of the academy cannot agree on anything.
So almost half of the voters believe that Will should definitely be denied the prize. Others insist this is unfair, as Academy members didn’t win the Oscars from Harvey Weinstein and Roman Polanski after being accused of sexual misconduct.
“That would be insane and blatant hypocrisy. But we all know Hollywood has its own laws. We can only follow the course of events,” a source told the Daily Mail.
