Smith Gets 10 Year Ban From Academy Events


 It's not a lifetime ban, but it's not a slap on the wrist either, Will Smith, who earlier this month, resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, has been banned from attending any events put on by that body including the Oscars for 10 years.  

That means that Smith, winner of the Best Actor Award for his role in King Richard, would have been the presenter for Best Actress at the 2023 ceremony.  That will now be impossible unless there is an appeal.

Of course, Smith slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscar Ceremony, after the comedian made a joke about wife Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head.

Where there is a Will there is a way to receive special treatment.
