What Action should the Academy take against Will Smith?
 

In your opinion?

I think he should keep the Oscar, it was for the performance in the film after all, and there are many people holding Oscars who've done very bad things so if you took Will's award you'd have to make a list of other people to take awards from. I do think he should be banned from future Academy Awards ceremonies though, for a certain period of time at least, he behaved badly at the ceremony so should be banned from there like the way you'd be banned from an airline or from a football stadium or a bar if you behaved badly in those places

Yes he should be banned for 5 years to send a message, you cannot in any walk of life just get off your chair and slap someone because you are annoyed

lifetime ban and rescind the award

plus 2 day ban from Tibb

I think there should do the same as the UK government and do nothing

I sure gav would of done the same of sone one said something about you

:laugh2:

Also a reason for not taking his award, you're punishing everyone else involved in that film if you take an award away from it's achievements which I don't think is fair

Too far :o

get him telt

This.

This is cultural appropriation :nono:

I say same 5yr ban... owite geeza.

I don't think he should be banned,but I think they could tell him if he behaves like that again then don't bother coming back. So basically a warning .

And taking his Oscar away would be ridiculous as it's for his performance in the movie, he's not being awarded for slapping Chris Rock :shrug:.

A warning for getting on stage and hitting a presenter? You really don't think that warrants actual punishment?

I agree....hit him where it hurts.

His actions don't impact whether or not it was the winning performance... not much point withdrawing it and I agree with Niamh that it impacts others involved with the movie.

I think a 3 to 5 year ban is appropriate; and personally I think it would be optimal if they could agree with other big awards ceremonies that the ban will apply to all of them, not just the Oscars.

he shouldnt have been given the award after assaulting Chris, so that must be taken away, but it wont be.

Mad

This is a matter for the police not the award people

I agree..

It is a matter for the award people considering it happened during one of their events. If you hit someone in a Pub, yes you may get arrested but you'd also be barred from that Pub

But if he is ban will it stop other from doing the same thing at future events it like locally a carer stoles lots of money she has to paid just £1 back and no prison time on locally news on Wednesday no less

I personally disagree on this; the award was won already (just not announced yet) so that's done. I agree that he shouldn't have been PRESENTED the award, he should have been removed immediately and not there to actually receive it. They should have sent it in the post.

Yep I agree with this, he shouldn't have been invited down to the stage again after that.

He's deffo a great actor, one min he's blubbering some half assed apology and the next partying :/

Fair enough....and then banned for 5 years from being nominated and attendance.

Plus if they take his award away, what are they going to do, give it to the guy who came second - which would be a bit **** for that actor, their "best actor Oscar" is really only a 2nd place, or they could give it to no one and have no winner which is also a bit ****

This dose happen on big events like the Olympic
