Will Smith is the Only Oscar Winner to Skip the Press Rooms After the Academy Awards
Will Smith was the only Oscar winner not to appear before the press after the Academy Awards.
Smith punched out Chris Rock on live TV, then won the Oscar and gave an acceptance speech. He apologized to the Academy but not Rock for leaping out of the audience, jumping on stage, and punching Rock. The comedian had made an innocent joke about Smith’s wife’s haircut looking like “GI Jane.”
People at the Oscars are still in shock. But if Smith isn’t addressed in some way, many are wondering if this isn’t normalizing violence. It’s a quandary. But I think Smith will have this follow him around for a long, long time.
