Will Smith’s slap is just one academy of many Oscars

Denzel Washington told Will Smith moments after Smith strode onstage at the 94th Oscars and slapped Chris Rock across the face - that the devil comes for you at your highest moment, then motion picture academy officials must be wondering what Satan does when you’ve hit rock bottom. The academy hoped Sunday’s Oscars would be a morale-boosting celebration of movies for a troubled film industry. Instead, the show has done further damage to the already battered image of the nearly century-old organization and opened up a host of thorny new problems for its already divided leadership. The academy’s board, which includes such Hollywood notables as Steven Spielberg, Ava DuVernay and Laura Dern, will be meeting Wednesday night to sift through the rubble. Smith’s violent outburst engulfed the evening in controversy, overshadowing everything else, leading academy leaders to already call one emergency meeting the next day to review the incident amid members’ calls to discipline the actor, who won the Oscar for his lead work in “King Richard” shortly after striking Rock.

The academy subsequently issued a statement Monday condemning Smith’s actions. “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,” the group said. (Smith posted an apology on his Instagram account later that day.) But it’s unclear what disciplinary action the organization may take against one of the industry’s biggest and most generally well-liked stars. On Monday, Whoopi Goldberg, an academy governor, said categorically on the daytime talk show “The View”: “We’re not going to take that Oscar from him.” Since adopting a code of conduct in 2017, the academy has ejected only three members: producer Harvey Weinstein, director Roman Polanski and comedian-author Bill Cosby. Some have speculated that Smith’s membership could be suspended, but the decision is not likely to come soon. The organization plans to carefully follow the procedures laid out in its bylaws and standards of conduct. (In 2019, Polanski filed a lawsuit against the academy, alleging it had not followed its own protocols in expelling him, but ultimately lost the suit.) In a letter to members circulated Tuesday evening, academy president David Rubin and Chief Executive Dawn Hudson again condemned what Smith did and called it “unacceptable and harmful behavior.”

Emphasized the board would follow the bylaws to determine “appropriate action” for Smith. “As governed by California law regarding members of nonprofit organizations like the Academy, and set forth in our Standards of Conduct, this must follow an official process that will take a few weeks,” Rubin and Hudson wrote. “Please trust,” the letter concludes, “that the Board of Governors will conduct this process in a manner that is both expedient and respectful of all involved while maintaining the standards of the Academy.” Even before Smith shocked the world, the academy’s decision to move eight categories off the live telecast — ostensibly to shave a few minutes from the often bloated show — produced outrage and hurt feelings among members. It also somehow resulted in the longest ceremony since 2018. In the wake of what many regarded as a debacle, academy members have not been shy about expressing their displeasure, and some have contemplated quitting the organization. “After being a member for 30 years, I’m embarrassed to be associated with the Oscars telecast,” director Frank Oz wrote Monday on Twitter. “Not because of ‘The Slap’ but because of the phoniness of the show. All I sense is a desperate attempt to get more viewers by any means possible, not a show about the love of making movies.” “There were a lot of nice things to remember about the evening, that I don’t think anyone is going to remember,” one of the academy’s 54 governors, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the subject.
