Will Smith , a multiple award-winning American actor has been banned by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences from not attending the Oscars for the next 10 years.
Will Smith was furious with a what was intended to be a joke about his wife Jaden Smith at the just ended 94th OSCARS by Comedian Chris Rock . He ended up slàpping the Comedian which became a topic for discussion globally.
With their options rather limited, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Board of Governors have just decided that Will Smith will not be able to attend the Oscars for 10 years for slapping Chris Rock on-stage at the 94th Academy Awards on March 27.
