周五，奥斯卡主办方美国电影艺术与科学学院的理事会对威尔史密斯在奥斯卡颁奖礼“扇巴掌事件”作出处罚决定。
他们决定，自4月8日起10年内，禁止史密斯出席任何学院的活动或项目，包括但不限于奥斯卡颁奖礼。
声明中，他们用“无法接受的伤害性行为”来形容史密斯在舞台上的举动，并感谢Rock在被打后依然保持镇定。
不过，虽然史密斯无法再参加奥斯卡典礼，但依然可以被提名，甚至获奖。另外，奥斯卡并未收回史密斯在本届颁奖礼上获得的最佳男主奖杯，也未禁止他未来入围和获得奥斯卡奖的资格。
史密斯随后也对此作出回应称，“我接受并尊重学院的决定”。

The Board of Governors for the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences met Friday morning to discuss the consequences for actor Will Smith following his slap of presenter Chris Rock during the 94th Oscars telecast, and voted to ban Smith from all Academy events including the Oscars for 10 years. Smith, who resigned from the Academy last week, replied soon after in a statement, saying “I accept and respect the Academy’s decision.” Here is the Academy’s statement: “The 94th Oscars were meant to be a celebration of the many individuals in our community who did incredible work this past year; however, those moments were overshadowed by the unacceptable and harmful behavior we saw Mr. Smith exhibit on stage. During our telecast, we did not adequately address the situation in the room. For this, we are sorry. This was an opportunity for us to set an example for our guests, viewers and our Academy family around the world, and we fell short — unprepared for the unprecedented. Today, the Board of Governors convened a meeting to discuss how best to respond to Will Smith’s actions at the Oscars, in addition to accepting his resignation. The Board has decided, for a period of 10 years from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards. We want to express our deep gratitude to Mr. Rock for maintaining his composure under extraordinary circumstances. We also want to thank our hosts, nominees, presenters and winners for their poise and grace during our telecast. This action we are taking today in response to Will Smith’s behavior is a step toward a larger goal of protecting the safety of our performers and guests, and restoring trust in the Academy. We also hope this can begin a time of healing and restoration for all involved and impacted.” The organization didn’t have too many other options to impose, especially with Smith’s membership now no longer active following his resignation. His resignation and barring from future telecasts does not preclude him from being nominated or even winning future Academy Awards during that time. There have been calls from industry insiders and moviegoers for Smith’s Oscar to be taken back, which the Oscars have no legal authority to claim. To compare, convicted criminals Harvey Weinstein and director Roman Polanski still hold their Oscars following their expulsions. The Academy began official disciplinary proceedings on March 30 and originally scheduled a board meeting for April 18 to take any disciplinary actions. However, in light of Smith’s membership resignation from the Academy on April 1, Academy president David Rubin moved the meeting to Friday. Smith assaulted Rock after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. Pinkett Smith has spoken publicly about her struggles with hair loss due to alopecia. Smith apologized to Rock in an Instagram post the day after the incident. The Oscars have struggled with their messaging and fallout after the incident. Criticism was heated from Academy members and Hollywood industry professionals regarding the decision to allow the “King Richard” actor and producer to accept his statuette and speak for several minutes uninterrupted. When the disciplinary proceedings were announced, the Academy said in a statement that Smith refused to leave the ceremony, something multiple sources have refuted. Has the “Slap Gate” saga ended? The Academy has spoken, at least for the moment. The Academy’s Standards of Conduct process was updated in December 2017 in the wake of the #MeToo movement and the expulsion of Harvey Weinstein. There are currently 54 people that sit on the Board of Governors. The Academy’s 17 branches are each represented by three governors, with three governors-at-large, who are nominated by the president and elected board. Twelve of the members are serving on the board for the first time after being elected in June 2021.
美国电影艺术与科学学院在一份声明中宣布，由于威尔·史密斯在今年的奥斯卡颁奖典礼上给喜剧演员克里斯·洛克一巴掌，他将在未来10年内不得参加奥斯卡颁奖典礼。 Will Smith will not be allowed to attend the Academy Awards for the next 10 years, as a result of his slapping comedian Chris Rock on stage during this year’s Oscar ceremony, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced in a statement obtained by CNN. 董事会决定，从2022年4月8号起，被禁止出席今后10年该学院举办的任何活动或节目，不管是现场参加还是其他形式的参与，包括但不限于奥斯卡奖。学院主席大卫·鲁宾和首席执行官道恩·哈德森在周五的一份声明中说。 “The Board has decided, for a period of 10 years from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards,” Academy President David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson said in a statement on Friday. 这一决定是当天早些时候在洛杉矶举行的理事会会议上做出的。会议原定于4月18日举行，但史密斯上周宣布辞职后，会议提前举行。 The decision was made during a Board of Governors meeting held earlier in the day in Los Angeles. The meeting, initially scheduled for April 18, was expedited after Smith announced his resignation from the Academy last week. 史密斯针对被禁止参加接下来十年里奥斯卡发表了简单的声明。 Smith issued a quick, concise statement on his ban from the Oscars for the next decade. “我接受并尊重奥斯卡奖的决定，”他在给CNN的一份声明中说。 “I accept and respect the Academy’s decision,” the actor said in a statement to CNN. CNN已经联系了洛克的代表请其置评。 CNN has reached out to Rock’s representatives for comment. 一名董事会成员告诉美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)，在做出这一决定之前，人们对他在舞台上的一记耳光的后果进行了“大量的讨论”。 The decision came following “tons of debate” on what the consequences of his on-stage slap should be, a board member tells CNN. 学院在信中补充说:“第94届奥斯卡颁奖典礼本应是对过去一年里我们社区中许多人的祝贺，他们做出了不可思议的工作; 然而，那些时刻被我们在舞台上看到的不可接受的、有害的行为蒙上了阴影。” The Academy’s letter added: “The 94th Oscars were meant to be a celebration of the many individuals in our community who did incredible work this past year; however, those moments were over shadowed by the unacceptable and harmful behavior we saw Mr. Smith exhibit on stage.” “在我们的电视节目中，我们没有充分处理现场发生的情况，”这封信接着说。对此，我们感到抱歉。对我们来说，这是一个为全世界的嘉宾、观众和我们学院家人树立榜样的机会，但是我们没有做到，因为我们没有准备好迎接这个前所未有的时刻。” “During our telecast, we did not adequately address the situation in the room,” the letter went on to state. “For this, we are sorry. This was an opportunity for us to set an example for our guests, viewers and our Academy family around the world, and we fell short — unprepared for the unprecedented.” 理事会在此前的一份声明中表示，他们希望“及时处理”此事。 The Board of Governors said in a previous statement that they wanted the matter to be “handled in a timely fashion.” 据知情人士透露，史密斯的辞职意味着他将不再是奥斯卡投票机构的一员，但这并不妨碍这位奥斯卡奖得主在未来获得提名。 Smith’s resignation means that he is no longer part of the Academy’s voting body, but it does not prevent the Oscar winner from being nominated in the future, a source with knowledge previously told CNN. 周五，一位直接了解奥斯卡规则的知情人士告诉CNN，尽管史密斯被禁止参加奥斯卡，但他仍然可以被提名，因为今天的“行为准则”“不适用于获奖资格”。 Smith can also still be nominated despite being barred from attending the Oscars because “the standards of conduct rules” at play in today’s action “do not apply to awards eligibility,” a source close to the Academy with direct knowledge of the rules told CNN on Friday. 通常情况下，前一年的最佳男主角将颁发今年的最佳女演员奖(上届最佳女演员奖将颁发给最佳男演员奖)。由于史密斯的禁令，奥斯卡将不得不打破这一传统。 Typically, the previous year’s best actor winner presents the current year’s best actress award (and the reigning best actress presents to the best actor trophy). With Smith’s ban, the Oscars will have to break that tradition.
