The Academy of Oscars has also decided to authorize the comedian, appointed better actor last month, to “attend any event or program” organized by his care.
The Academy of Oscars decided on Friday to prohibit Will Smith from any ceremony or event that it will organize for a period of ten years, as a penalty for slapping that the actor had worked with Humorist Chris Rock in the midst of Gala at the end of March. “Mr. Smith will not be allowed to attend any event or program of the Academy, in person or virtually”, whether or not Oscars, and with immediate effect, written in a statement The Board of Directors of the Academy of Arts and Sciences of Cinema, which met Friday morning. The Academy has accepted the resignation of Will Smith, which he had presented last week, but did not remove him the Oscar for the best actor received last month for “the Williams method”.
