The Oscars is a work function for these people and he committed violence in the workplace. Who here wouldn't get fired for that?

If a regular person had slapped Chris Rock, they would have put his ass in a jail under the jail.

My trend has continued, let's see if I can make 0 or -1 next year.

I missed all the jokes about animated films being for kids and simply tolerated by adults due to the crazy slap circus but they really did a disservice to animated films with some of these statements.

Wake Up, Oscars: Animation isn't just for kids
"Animation for adults is a fact. It's happening. Let's call it cinema."

[mae]

Could not agree more. Two of the top animated films of last year weren't even nominated: Cryptozoo and Mad God. Definitely not for kids.

[Tommy]

I will have to check those out. Thanks for the recommendations.

Yup, you're welcome. They even made my Top of 2021 list, if you haven't seen it: https://www.thedarktower.org/palaver...=1#post1257077

So he WAS asked to leave but refused.

Will Smith refused to leave Oscars after Chris Rock slap: Academy

The Academy also claims that the "King Richard" star refused to leave the ceremony after being asked.

There will probably be SAG consequences as well.

AND Will Smith just resigned from the Academy.

Will Smith Resigns From Academy After “Inexcusable” Actions at Oscars

What does this even mean?

That he resigned? He won't be asked back ever, he won't be able to ever get nominated again and he does not get to be an Academy voter. Technically, the only thing for certain is the voting part but the other two things can still happen but I seriously doubt that they will.

Now, The Academy still has to make a decision about all of this too so I am assuming those other two things will be his consequences as well.

[Tommy]

SAG will also probably have to make some decisions about this as well.

His work can still be recognized and he can be nominated.

And that is what I said. The Academy meets again on April 18th to decide further consequences.

[Tommy]

I could have worded it better, sorry for any confusion

[Tommy]

And this, very much this, Lady Gaga is just a lovely human being....

Etiquette expert says we've overlooked Lady Gaga's great kindness toward Liza Minnelli

The Oscars last Sunday night offered a touching and teaching moment

Although, it does say something that simple common decency is so underappreciated that we need to applaud it when we see it.

Still, love you Gaga!!

[OldCrow88]

... simple common decency is so underappreciated that we need to applaud it when we see it.

Amen to that.

[Tommy]

Ten year ban from The Academy Awards for Will Smith whether in person or virtually. It doesn't say in any articles I've seen but I assume that means he cannot be nominated either? I mean if you cannot be there to accept it....
Now will come SAG's decision.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Ten year ban from The Academy Awards for Will Smith whether in person or virtually.

So what's the punishment?

[Jon]

Hey...at least I've not been banned from The Oscars or disqualified for a Nobel!!

Which Nobel you going after?
