It was the slap in the face that rocked America, and probably what the 2022 Oscars will be remembered for. Will Smith He will be remembered for infamy for slapping Chris Rock, who also entered the list of The 2022 Oscar winners for his performance in handsome Riccardo. Now his next movie, Emancipation who have just released their first trailer could be up for grabs next year and Academy voters have some ideas.
In a long relationship of THR , many film industry voters were asked if they would consider voting for Smith this Oscar season. The answers range from a cautious disposition to an aggressive attitude against the idea. From the cast branch, one voter said:
I think it should be more time before Will Smith is considered for an award. I’m surprised that Emancipation is coming out, but I think it’s for financial reasons as well as hoping for nominations. As wonderful as it is in the film, it will be difficult to watch it and not constantly think about the slap. It will be really difficult to judge the performance on its merits and by extension the whole film.
Emancipation they had their first advanced evaluation a few days ago, and people talk about it well. Many who saw the film said it was “powerful” and “inspiring”. In general, the consensus of the film seems to be positive. Some voters in the article said that if the film and acting were phenomenal, they would consider voting for it, like this member of the music branch:
Since Will Smith apologized and did some “chuva”, and forgiveness is a virtue, if he thought his performance deserved a grade, he wouldn’t deny it.
Smith recently published Emancipationwhat’s in the 2023 cinema calendar for the beginning of the year. He said this film was the “hardest” film he had ever worked on. and thanked Apple for doing it. However, even though the film and the acting are phenomenal, many Academy voters don’t want to consider Smith. As Producer Branch member Lawrence David Foldes said:
I was surprised but not surprised to learn that Emancipation was released this year. Surprised because I think the industry should avoid Smith, not embrace and improve the image of him. I am not surprised by Apple’s interest in recovering its investment and hope to capitalize on and profit from Smith’s involvement. Sin embargo, las películas más grandes con pérdidas más grandes se han dejado de lado por cosas menores, y no demostrarle to the public that the industry holds a little de integridad y ética only validateda aún más la impresión del público del hambre de dólares de nuestra industry mostly. Would you vote for Smith? CERTAINLY NOT. His embarrassing violent outburst and the pathetic and tearful tirade of “acceptance” witnessed by millions, and his blatant disrespect for the Academy, should preclude him for life any consideration and reward from members of the AMPAS.
The King Richard the actor apologized to Rock for the slap. However, Rock had a strong response. to Smith’s apologies. Many people involved with the Academy have also given solid answers on whether to consider Smith for the awards this year. It will be interesting to see how this conversation evolves at the start of the awards season.
