Will Smith RESIGNS From Motion Picture Academy
Will Smith has resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) the people who oversee the Oscars.
Here is Smith's complete statement:
I have directly responded to the Academy’s disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. 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. 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. 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. So, I am resigning from membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and will accept any further consequences the Board deems appropriate.
Clearly this seems to be an effort at damage control in advance of whatever formal action the Academy plans to take against Smith. The matter is still under review and the Academy plans to make a decision in this case soon.
