Will Smith's Ban From the Oscars Is a Slap in the Face

Actor will smith has been banned from attending any academy events for the next decade. Academy issued a statement yesterday saying this, in part, the 90 fourth oscars were meant to be a celebration of the many individuals in our community who did incredible work this past year. However, those moments were overshadowed by the unacceptable and harmful behaviour we saw mister smith exhibit on stage. The board's move will keep smith from attending, presenting or performing at the oscars. It won't bar him from being nominated or even winning an academy award in the future. And he gets to keep the one he has now.
