This year is one of the trickiest for Will Smith who had an equal amount of good and bad publicity involved. The actor took home the first Oscar of his life for a film that was as amazing as his calibre (King Richards). He also stormed the stage for slapping Chris Rock for a comment he made about Jada Pinkett Smith. This triggered a controversy and the move had a very drastic effect on his personal and professional life. While everyone has been waiting for his bounce-back moment, seems like it is here.
If you are somehow unaware, Chris on the Oscar stage took a dig at Jada’s alopecia condition. This left Smith angry who went on stage and slapped Rock. The row led to the Academy taking strict action and setting up an inquiry. As a result, Will has been banned from anything to do with Oscars for a decade. The Academy didn’t revoke his award though.
