A thread on this year's Oscar nominees, winners and ceremony.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences says Will Smith has been banned from attending the Oscars for the next 10 years after he slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage.
Smith is also not permitted to attend any other events held by Hollywood's top film group over the next decade, but the board did not decide to revoke the best actor Oscar he won last month for "King Richard."
"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," says president David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson in a letter. — AFP
The show's producer says police officers were ready to arrest Will Smith after he attacked comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars.
In his first public comments since the shocking episode that marred Hollywood's most important evening, Will Packer says he had sat with Rock when officers came to speak to him.
"They were saying, you know, this is battery.... They said we will go get him, we are prepared, we are prepared to get him right now, you can press charges, we can arrest him, you have -- they were laying out the options," Packer tells ABC Television. — AFP
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences says Will Smith refused to leave the Oscars ceremony after attacking comedian Chris Rock, as it began disciplinary action against the mega star.
Smith had been asked to leave the Dolby Theatre after marching onstage and hitting Rock for a joke about his wife's hair. Moments after the shocking episode, he was handed the best actor award to a standing ovation.
"While we would like to clarify that Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently," a statement says. — AFP
The Academy of Motion Picture Art and Sciences launches a "formal review" of the shocking moment during Sunday's Oscars when Will Smith struck Chris Rock on stage over a joke about his wife's hair-loss condition.
"The Academy condemns the actions of Mr. Smith at last night's show," the Academy says in a statement to AFP.
"We have officially started a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our Bylaws, Standards of Conduct and California law."
"CODA," the heartwarming indie drama about a deaf family defying the odds, on Sunday won the top prize on Oscars night for best picture.
Lady Gaga and Liza Minnelli presented the award to the film, which follows teenage Ruby -- who can hear -- as she juggles pursuing her musical ambitions with her family's dependence on her to communicate. Deaf actors feature in several lead roles.
It beat a crowded field that included "Belfast," "The Power of the Dog" and "Dune" to take home the coveted prize from the 94th Academy Awards.
