This Friday, we learned that Will Smith had been banned from participating in the Oscars for 10 years. The Academy made this decision after the sad affair of the slap in the face of Chris Rock. But who are the other banned personalities?
After almost two weeks of dithering and controversy, the Academy of Oscars delivered its verdict on April 8 in the Will Smith case.
The day after he slapped Chris Rock during the ceremony on March 27, the actor apologized and resigned from the Academy.
The board of directors finally made its decision after the disciplinary procedure opened against the artist. The latter received a 10-year ban from participating in the Oscars ceremony. However, he retains the right to be nominated for a role.
After this sad affair, a question arises: who are the other personalities who have been banned from the Academy?
CARMINE CARIDI
DR
In 2017, he defended himself in the columns of The Hollywood Reporter : “I was doing a favor to a guy and he fucked me. Who could imagine that he was going to put them on the internet?”, He indicated. To avoid prison, Caridi delivered his accomplice, Russell Sprague, and was able to avoid a conviction. However, he will be excluded manu militari from the Academy of Oscars.
HARVEY WEINSTEIN
DR
After the resounding scandal linked to his accusations of sexual assault and rape, Weinstein was banned. The Academy condemned these crimes and implemented a new code of conduct, stating that the Oscars did not tolerate “people who abuse their status, power or influence.”
BILL COSBY
DR
He was sentenced to 3 years in prison in September 2018 for drugging and raping Andrea Constand, a young woman he had invited to his home in 2004. The Academy expelled him a month later. Bill Cosby’s sentencing was the first of the #MeToo era. It is considered a major victory in the fight against sexual violence against women. Cosby was released from prison in June 2021.
ROMAN POLANSKY
DR
At the time, the filmmaker made his displeasure known, arguing that the directors should have given him “reasonable notice” before any exclusion order, and “a reasonable chance to be heard.”
ADAM KIMMEL
DR
The leaders discovered that the technician was hiding a heavy past as a sex offender. He was arrested twice for assaulting minors. He was therefore logically expelled.
