We learned this Friday that Will Smith has been banned from participating in the Oscars for 10 years. The academy made that decision after the sad affair of hitting Chris Rock in the face. But who are the other forbidden persons?
After nearly two weeks of controversy and controversy, the Oscar Academy made its decision on April 8 in the case of Will Smith.
On March 27, during the ceremony, Chris Rock was handcuffed, the actor apologized and left the academy.
The board of directors finally made the decision after disciplinary proceedings were initiated against the artist. The latter received a 10-year ban from attending the Oscars. However, it retains the right to be nominated for the role.
After this sad case the question arises: who are the other persons banned in the academy?
Carmine Carid
Died in 2019, at the age of 85, Carmine Carid is best known for her two small roles in the films The Godfather 2 and The Godfather 3 (Carmin Rosato in One and Albert Volpe in the Other). He is the first person to be expelled from the Oscars in 2004. The comedian released confidential copies of the films that were found on the Internet.
In 2017, he defended himself in the columns Hollywood Reporter “I was doing a good deed to one of the guys and I was convicted. Who would have thought to take them out on the internet?” He pointed out. To avoid prison, Cardiff surrendered to his accomplice Russell Sprague and was able to avoid conviction. However, he is expelled from the Oscar Academy manu militari.
Harvey Weinstein
Famous producer Harvey Weinstein, who was running a campaign to nominate his films for the Oscars, was fired in 2017.
Weinstein was banned after a scandal involving allegations of sexual assault and rape. The academy condemned the crimes and introduced a new code of conduct that states that the Oscars will not tolerate “people who abuse their status, power or influence.”
Bill Cosby
Bill Cosby was one of America’s most popular actors. He fell heavily off the pedestal in 2018. Thanks to the success of the Cosby show, America was considered the ideal father, the actor was actually hiding the identity of a sexual predator.
In September 2018, he was sentenced to 3 years in prison for raping a young woman, Andrea Constant, who he invited home in 2004. A month later the academy fired him. Bill Cosby’s verdict 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 Polanski
Roman Polanski, Oscar for Best Director in 2003, for pianist, the academy never bothered until 2018, despite his fairness and rape allegations in the US. Under the new Code of Conduct adopted by Oscar after Weinstein’s case, the director was expelled from the academy along with Bill Cosby.
At the time, the filmmaker expressed his displeasure, arguing that the directors should have given him a “reasonable notice” before any exclusion order and a “reasonable chance of being heard.”
Adam Kimmel
A bride on Truman Capote or Ryan Gosling like no other, Adam Kimmel was released from the Academy Awards in 2021.
Leaders found that the technician was hiding a serious past as a sex offender. He was twice arrested for assaulting a minor. So logically expelled.
