Will Smith resigned but is he ‘banned’ from Oscars like this exclusive club?
expulsion or suspension by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, resigned from the organization on Friday.The move comes less than a week after he slapped award presenter Chris Rock during the Oscars 2022 global broadcast on Sunday.But does his abrupt resignation mean the Best Smacktor winner still could get slapped — even banned — by the Academy itself? If so, he would join a small group of ex-members who previously were given the official boot from the starry group.“I have directly responded to the Academy’s disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable,” Smith said in a statement.
