THE Will Smith may be called to return the Oscar Best Actor after the slap he gave live to the presenter of the ceremony Chris Rock, leaving the whole world speechless.
According to The Post, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which presented the awards at dawn at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, has strict guidelines in its code of conduct.
A top Hollywood source told The Post that “it’s basically an attack. Everyone in the room was so shocked. It was so uncomfortable. “
“I do not think Will would want to give up his Oscar, but who knows what will happen now,” the source added.
The director of “Knocked Up”, Apatow, sharply criticized Smith in a tweet that has now been deleted: “He could have killed him. This is purely uncontrollable anger and violence. They have heard a million jokes about them in the last three decades. He is not a freshman in the world of Hollywood and comedy. He lost his mind. “
According to the Post, the Academy’s Code of Conduct, released in 2017 following a sex scandal, emphasizes the importance of “defending the Academy’s values”, such as integration, promoting a supportive environment and “respecting human dignity”.
At the time, AMPAS CEO Dawn Hudson wrote to members: “Participation in the Academy is a privilege offered to only a select few in the global film community,” Variety reported.
“In addition to achieving excellence in the field of cinematography, members must also behave ethically in upholding the Academy’s values ​​of respect for human dignity, inclusion and a supportive environment that fosters creativity.”
He added: “There is no place in the Academy for people who abuse their position, power or influence in a way that violates recognized standards of decency. The Academy is categorically opposed to any form of abuse, harassment or discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, race, nationality, disability, age, religion or nationality. The Council believes that these standards are necessary for the Academy and reflect our values. “
