Hey Diddler, Diddler….the cat and the fiddler LOL

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

I wonder if he accepted the $100,000 gift bag or donated it to someone who was more needy.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

He should give it to Christina.
I would love to see her post about it and if her sob stories are true she could sure use a lift like that!

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

The gift bags are worth $100,000? Wow that’s quite a gift. I wonder what’s inside…a car?

Hey Diddler, Diddler….the cat and the fiddler LOL

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

I believe it is even MORE than $100,000. It has a bunch of stuff the elite really can afford themselves.

Donated it?? That prick? HA!

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

Does this mean he won't be making anymore studio movies? Does he have to burn his S.A.G. card like Lee Donovitch told Elliot to do in True Romance?

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

All fair questions! I wanna know is he returning his $100,000 goody bag. I should say 2 bags, his and Jada's.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

Poor Balkie!

He should have told the guy wanting to sell the coke, "Don't be ridiculous."

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

If he had any decency and integrity, he would give back his Oscar and let it go to the runner up, and not have the Academy hounded with the backlash of what is the most appropriate course of action.

Taking his Oscar away is the only due consequence that would make an impact on this privileged and entitled smug uber-star who would be worth around half a billion net.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

Ya know how they advertise movies naming Oscar "winners," which I never give a shit about?

Voice over or words on screen: Starring Oscar winner Joe B. Low in, The Night the Jock Strap Came Alive.

So if the Academy took away Smith's Oscar and gave it to 2nd place, which I agree with, how would the advertising go for that?

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

I despise how they use these awards in the advertising too, as though that makes the film and performance more worthy. Especially when we know these awards mean diddly squat in the larger scheme of things and are largely politicized anyway.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

Will Smith, facing possible expulsion or suspension after he assaulted Chris Rock during last Sunday’s Oscars telecast, has instead resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. The move comes as the actor is embroiled in the gravest crisis of his career and as the organization behind the Academy Awards has struggled in its attempts to deal with the fallout from the altercation. In a statement, Smith called his actions “shocking, painful and inexcusable” and said that he will accept any additional consequences that the Academy’s Board of Governors deems appropriate.

“The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home,” Smith said. “I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken.”

Smith also acknowledged that his actions overshadowed other winners at the 94th Academy Awards.

“I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film,” he stated, concluding with “change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.”

Academy president David Rubin replied to his resignation, saying in a statement, “We have received and accepted Mr. Will Smith’s immediate resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. We will continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, in advance of our next scheduled board meeting on April 18.”

During the ceremony, Smith charged the stage and struck Rock during the broadcast after Rock made a joke about the actor’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, likening her shaved head to the buzzcut sported by Demi Moore in “G.I. Jane.” Pinkett Smith suffers from hair loss due to alopecia.

The Academy later said it asked Smith to leave the ceremony and he refused. However, sources tell Variety that the organization’s leaders never formally requested he be ejected and producer Will Packer urged him to stay. During an appearance on GMA on Friday, Packer said that he said Smith should stay at the request of Rock — something Rock’s camp has denied.

It’s a very tangled narrative about what exactly went down behind the scenes. What is certain is that Smith ended up remaining at the Dolby Theatre, where he went on to win best actor for his performance in “King Richard.” In an emotional speech, Smith seemed to try to justify his actions by saying that his outburst was the result of the same protective instincts that led his character in the film, Richard Williams, to push his daughters, Venus and Serena Williams, to succeed in the world of tennis. His speech, initial failure to apologize to Rock and his decision to attend the Vanity Fair party following the awards did not sit well with some members of the Academy.

On Monday, Smith finally apologized to Rock, saying, “I was out of line and I was wrong.” He added that he reacted emotionally because “a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear.”

After initially offering up a statement that said it did not condone violence, the Academy followed up with two subsequent statements that more forcefully criticized Smith. On Wednesday, the group said Smith had violated the Academy’s standards of conduct and that he had 15 days to provide a written response explaining his actions. The organization said Smith faced suspension, expulsion or other sanctions.

In other words, Will Smith’s agent knows he’s fucked. I can’t tell if Will is only telling people what they want to hear, or if he genuinely feels sorry.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

The board meets again on April 18th to decide what to do.
Dunno why they are dragging their feet on a public assault.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

I wish Chris Rock kicked his cunt in. Will smith is a talentless cuck. Imagine being a mega millionaire and allowing your wife to fuck other dudes. Pathetic cunt

Thank you for talking to me

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

yea, this is dumb.

Didnt even know he contributed but him leaving is probably a plus on him as he'd probably do less work for an academy that doesnt and never has appreciated him.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

Turns out it is only for one year and he can reapply next year. What is he really out in that aspect? Netflix cancelled his new movie though. He will be seeing some backlash.

I saw Rock shut down a heckler that was yelling crap and Will, at his show. He is handling this quite well, IMO.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

I hope he learns his lesson. I think he needs anger management lessons.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

I just read; it's rumored he checked into a rehab. Didn't say what type. This is how he is gonna rebuild it all. Or try. ALso, Jadas boyfriend is releasing a book detailing of their relationship. Now I wonder, did he know THAT at the time?

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

He should resign from life, the piece of arrogant shit.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

Will should just grow a set and divorce that scow.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

I agree. She is one toxic woman. I honestly think he is broken. I just read her boyfriend is releasing a detailed book. He is talking about their time together over YEARS. He stayed in Wills homes when Will was away filming.

I wonder if WIll had just found out about the book and it was just too much. I think he has put up with a lot from this bitch.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

But she was only trying to find a "happy place" 😐

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

I really like Jada, individually, because I think she's a strong, independent woman who knows what she wants. I admire that. The thing is, I don't see her as being flexible, and that's needed in a marriage. Two actors making a go of it, successfully, is pretty rare, especially with family and filming schedules.

I like Will Smith, and I think he deserves better. His first wife wasn't up to handling his lifestyle, and Jada is too independent and wants the freedom of being single (my opinion, anyway). They preach OTT about being in it for the long haul, but it would have to be at face value given it's an open marriage.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

I have never been a Jada fan. She comes off very stuck up to me, not strong. I love strong women as well, this girl tries to hard. She doesn't treat people well.

I do like WIll too. I honestly think he needed a punishment but the 10 year ban is a bit excessive.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

I completely agree that a ten-year ban is excessive. Quite excessive. I think they're doing it to make a statement, to make an example of him. They want to appease the mob.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

Agreed. I think they also wanted to make sure the violence wont be tolerated.

I think he had a bad judgment call. There is more going on than we know. He honestly looks scared of her.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

Eh, I think it's fine. If he plays his cards right, they'll probably reconsider his ban in a year or two and let him back.

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

I agree, Jan. I also can't blame Rock for not knowing if he can forgive him

The look on Smith's face after he did that, that smile as he was walking back, just shows that he thought it was fun doing that

Rock didn't deserve to be hit and I like what Gervais said, "I would not have made a joke about his wife’s hair. I would have made a joke about her boyfriend.”"

Re: Will Smith resigned from The Academy

She keeps taking them off him, but good job, because Jada was front for image.
