The Motion Picture Academy’s decision to ban Will Smith from Oscar ceremonies and events for 10 years as discipline for slapping Chris Rock is little more than an extended time out for a playground bully. It’s a toothless penalty that lays bare the shallowness of Hollywood morals.
At this point, the only person who can redeem the integrity of the Oscars is Smith himself. He needs to come to grips with the gravity of the offense he committed: slapping Rock, live on March 27 in front of millions on the Academy Awards stage. Smith needs to express-mail his golden trophy back to the Academy and publicly state something to the effect of: “Out of respect

Just a couple of common black people doing what black people do.

If Smith returned his statute to the Academy, it would look like a cheap publicity stunt. Smith won the award. The statue is merely a symbol of his award. Enough already about Smith and his Oscar.

I don't care about the movies, the people who make them or the Oscars. This is not about the Oscars. It is about the obvious observation that everyone is afraid to mention. Why do so many people (especially men but women are in on it too) in the black community over react to a situation with violence. Maybe this helps to explain why they kill each other at such a high rate. Blacks do not need to fear the police. They have a greater threat of being murdered by another black. Obviously this problem occurs in all socio economic groups. Can't get much higher than Will Smith or lower than the neighborhood drug thug using excessive force. I have worked in elementary or middle school for the past 31 years. It's all ages. Learning early no doubt at home.

Will Smith does not need to return the Oscar. The Academy Awards needs to take it back from him. They are the brand, not Smith. They need to have the guts to do it.

No, he won it fair and affirmative action square. Being banned for 10 years will suffice.

Um..........restore the award's honor...............
Spare me. That ship sailed decades ago.
Now it's just a mutual admiration society, made up of people primarily able to 'play pretend'
and who's main product is, in real terms, basically valueless as well as useless !!

Smith was awarded, he no longer has to sit in the audience for four boring hours. He can watch the show for ten years from the Vanity Fair party or Elton John's .

Honor? Please. Those awards are as crooked as an election in a swing state. They pull stunts every year to try and get in the news, and it always works. This is just one more.

Return the award's honor? Get real. Actors get their awards based on who they are, who's the favorite color now, and who's doing the most to destroy this country.

If it were not for mythical space aliens, Smith's career would be even more of a waste. Keep the award and go away. You are no better than your ghetto bros.

If I were Will Smith, I'd tell them what to do with the "demand" that he return his Oscar. I'm sure there are many other un-savory types who have won Oscars, Emmys, or other Hollywood award shows that have done much, much worse and weren't asked to return those awards. By the way, does Andrew Cuomo get to keep his Emmy for telling everyone how he killed all the grannies in New York?
While I don't condone what WIll did, I know if somebody was up on stage insulting my wife, if I didn't do something about it, I am convinced my wife would never let me forget it.
All this hullabaloo about very little. Story of America these days.

Leftwing awards are meaningless propaganda that celebrate degenerates. I used to consider the Oscars as a tip toward possible quality. Fuhgeddaboudit. Now they're garbage.

What honor? Those white racist Oscar people have no honor. Just white leftist doing what white leftists do. Why does everything have to be about race with some people?
