I think the ban’s length of time is appropriate, but Smith should not be able to be nominated and win an Academy Award during the ban.
If they didn’t take away Harvey weinsteins Oscar they definitely won’t take his.
I’m not saying that the Academy should take away Smith’s Oscar; I’m saying that Smith should not be able to be nominated and win an Oscar during the ban (4/8/22-4/8/32).
I didn’t think anybody was making that case, I was just sorta throwing something random out there. Like someone and I were having a discussion yesterday about whether he should get to keep an oscar right after what he did, and I kind of don’t see the point of a ban if you’re gonna let him keep it.
Also I didn’t know whether or not you can be nominated or win during a ban… like is the ban only on attendance? Will someone else just have to accept in your absence? If you’re not allowed to be nominated that could make it harder to get lead roles, I mean if the people making the movie care about how it does at the Oscars.
Yeah, the ban is only on attendance. He can still be nominated and win an Oscar during the ban.
I feel the straight jacket tightening on society every time someone publicly steps out of line. The movies the oscars reward glorify all types of irrational behavior, but when someone does it in real life there has to be a formal process. As a sz I like the threshold of behavior that I have to cross before consequences to be extremely wide.
