After all, it was the first act of violence at the Oscars, and there was a lot of discussion, whether it was the 25-year friendship between the film emperor, Will Smith and Chris Locke, or The aftermath of Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith. One apology after another, it was rumored that the Film Emperor Trophy would be withdrawn, and the Netflix drama contract would be temporarily suspended... After a few days, the big event of the wash community for several days seems to finally come to an end.
The Academy, which hosts the Oscars, issued an official announcement earlier:
"After a board discussion, in addition to accepting Will Smith's resignation as a member of the Academy, will prohibit Will Smith from participating in all The Academy programs in person, virtually, in any way, for ten years from April 8, 2022, but does not restrict nominations."
In addition, the Inner Statement Academy also expressed its gratitude to Chris Locke for his presence on stage, as well as the other participants' graceful and calm face of the incident, hoping to slowly regain the audience's confidence in The Academy. Will Smith, on the other hand, accepted and respected the punishment. However, at the same time, some fans also asked why they could still be nominated for participation when they were banned.
Turning over the past history of the Oscars, because of the anti-communist ideas of the society at that time, there were "ten gentlemen" who were included in the Hollywood blacklist, including the Oscars. However, it was found that there were cases in which a pseudonym was participated in the competition and still won the prize. At the same time, some people pointed out that Will Smith is indeed a powerful star, and even the identity of a producer, if the nomination is prohibited, but Will Smith has come up with a good performance that is obvious to all, will it affect the public's perception of the film emperor? These may all be the underlying reasons behind it.
