Will Smith did not attend the event this year – he was banned after punching host Chris Rock at the previous event. Now Jimmy Kimmel has referred to those events. He stated that the 2023 Oscars will be safe. What if something similar happens? The comedian “assured”:
If anyone in this theater commits any act of violence, they will receive an Oscar for Best Actor and permission to speak for 19 minutes.
This was exactly the case with Smith, who was rewarded just after the attack on Chris Rock for his role in the movie “King Richard: The Victorious Family”.
Oscars 2023. Jimmy Kimmel: If anything unforeseen happens, do exactly what you did last year – nothing
Kimmel also added:
Seriously, the academy has a crisis team here. If anything unforeseen happens, do exactly what you did last year – nothing. Sit down. Maybe you’ll even be able to hug your attacker?
The Academy’s authorities were criticized last year for a complete lack of reaction to Smith’s behavior during the gala, as well as for its tardiness and leniency in the matter after it ended. A few days after the gala, the actor issued a statement in which he apologized for having committed violence. After some time, the Academy excluded him from the Oscar galas for the next ten years.
Recall that Will Smith attacked the host of the 94th Oscars after Chris Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife. The actor walked up to the comedian and punched him in the face, then shouted, “Don’t say my wife’s name with your fucking mouth!”
