Was it the right move for Will Smith to do on Oscar?


o At the 94th Academy Awards ceremony, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, who made fun of his wife. There was a global uproar. In the past few days, there has been a lot of criticism from all parties. The Academy of Film Arts, the organizer of the Oscars, is still discussing how to punish it. , he took the initiative to issue a statement, saying that he would resign from the membership of the American Academy of Film Arts and accept all the disposal of his behavior, and the American Academy of Film and Arts also stated that it had received and accepted Will Smith's voluntary resignation, accepting We will continue to discuss this matter in the future, and there will be a meeting to negotiate on the 18th of this month.


In his resignation statement, Will Smith emphasized that his actions shocked all parties, caused pain, and had no excuses. The list of people who have been hurt by him is very long, including Chris, his family, his own relatives and friends, Guests attending the ceremony, and audiences around the world enjoying the broadcast of the ceremony at home. Confessing that he betrayed the Academy's trust in him and deprived other finalists and winners of the opportunity to celebrate his outstanding performance, Will is both heartbroken and hopeful that the focus will return to those who just got noticed for their outstanding achievements. The filmmakers allow the Academy of Film Arts to restore its support for film creativity and artistry in the past.


One slap smashed the achievements of thousands of people and ruined the entertainment of thousands of people. However, although it is not quite right to say this, it is fortunate that it is just a slap. Think about it this way, if Will Smith happened to have a gun at the time, what would Oscar be like? I am afraid there will be unimaginable consequences.

On this year's broadcast, I saw a host get a slap when he said something wrong. Will the host wear bodyguards or body armor for the broadcast next year? Or is it because both of them are celebrities, so everyone just looks at it and walks past?

The problem is, hundreds of millions of people are watching, hundreds of millions of people are learning, it seems that it doesn't matter if you beat and scolded like this, next time whoever says the wrong thing on TV at a dinner party, will it end with just a slap?
