“Will Smith Banned From Oscars For 10 Years, ‘Respects’ Academy’s Ruling”
“The Board has decided, for a period of 10 years from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards,” AMPAS president David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson said in a letter to the organization’s membership, per Deadline.
The letter further described Smith’s actions at the 94th Academy Awards — where he walked on stage and slapped Chris Rock for a comment the presenter made about Jada Pinkett Smith — “unacceptable and harmful behavior,” adding, “We also hope this can begin a time of healing and restoration for all involved and impacted.”
“I accept and respect the Academy’s decision,” Smith said in a short response with no further comment.
The letter was reportedly made public after a “contentious” virtual meeting that started at 9 a.m. PT.
