But, perhaps the real scene-stealer of the night was none other than Will Smith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making his first public appearance since his infamous slap on Chris Rock,\u00a0 Will Smith, the man on a mission, set out to make his slap an Academy tradition. Just a week before, the Academy had officially reevaluated Smith&#8217;s apology during his acceptance speech for Best Actor to the Academy and his loved ones, not including Rock himself. After the Academy lifted the one-year ban, Smith stepped onto the red carpet and angrily walked up to the reporter to get the mic into his hand. When the reporter then asked how Smith hopes to redeem himself from the slapping incident, he replied, \u201cKeep my name out your f******g mouth!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those standing by roared in approval, as Smith then casually walked through the doors of the Dolby Theater. Later that evening, Smith was awarded his Second Best Actor in 2 years for his role in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emancipation<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As he got out of his seat to claim the award, host Jimmy Kimmel was nowhere to be seen on stage. When asked about his sudden disappearance in the post-ceremony interview, Kimmel commented, \u201cI was not ready to suffer the same fate as the previous fellow comedian.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to the awkward, tense acceptance speech last year, Smith delivered an agenda for the next decade of Oscars to come. The new \u201cWill Smith Plan\u201d includes several groundbreaking ideas. For one thing, each year\u2019s best actor now gets to slap the host and, for another, nobody will ever make jokes about anybody\u2019s family member, especially a rapper\u2019s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea for such tradition has gained so much traction among Oscar viewers that Smith himself is now set to host the Oscars alongside Chris Rock in 2024. Unfortunately, the host to be slapped next year may again be Chris Rock, though he may now prepare for this event!<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DISCLAIMER: THIS ARTICLE IS SATIRE AND IS MEANT FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.
