After the Oscar scandal in 2022: Will Smith excluded from the ceremony
At the last Oscars, there was a scandal when actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock in the middle of the stage. Previously, he had made a joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett, who suffers from the disease alopecia areata, a severe hair loss. Despite everything, the 54-year-old shortly afterwards accepted his Oscar for “Best Actor” in the drama “King Richard” – which was met with massive criticism. There were calls to withdraw Smith’s award, but that never happened.
But the Academy initiated disciplinary proceedings against the actor. For ten years he was not allowed to attend the Oscars in person or virtually. In 2023, the award ceremony will take place without Smith, but it remains to be seen whether it will remain scandal-free despite everything. (asc)
