You will remember that the famous actor Will Smith left his mark on the 2022 Oscar Awards Ceremonies, where the films in 2021 were awarded. Smith got up and slapped him for a joke that the host of the show, Chris Rock, made about his wife.
After the incident, the academy sentenced the actor to suspension and set up a ‘crisis team’ in order to avoid a case similar to the Oscar Award Ceremonies. So that a slap like this never happens again. As a matter of fact, it did not happen, in fact, the suspended actor received his first big award after a long time.
Will Smith wins award for his performance in my movie Emancipation
After slapping Chris Rock, Will Smith won the NAACP Image Award for best actor in a motion picture for his performance in Emancipation, which was released on December 9, 2022. Thus, one year after that tragic event, the actor received his first big award.
However, the actor was not personally present to receive the award, and someone else received the award on his behalf. Turns out, that’s the precaution the Academy took.
In the 19th century film Emancipation, set in Louisiana, USA, Will Smith plays a runaway slave who escapes violent slave owners and embarks on a journey to Baton Rouge. What are you thinking? Please do not forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
