The American Film Academy banned Will Smith from its events for 10 years: now the actor cannot even attend the Oscar ceremony

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences suspended Will Smith’s participation in events for 10 years after the Oscar incident. Now the actor does not even have the right to attend the award ceremony. Recall that Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock in the face for telling a bad joke about his wife, Jada. However, despite these restrictions, an actor can still be nominated for an Oscar.

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.
