The Will Smith Incident Is Why I No Longer Watch The Academy Awards
The Annual Oscars aka The Academy Awards aired last night on live TV to millions yet the show quickly descended in to chaos following an altercation between nominee Will Smith and Chris Rock who made a joke about Will Smith's wife Jada Smith regarding her haircut. The incident has gained headlines sparking controversy as Will Smith's actions have been called into question.
What's more, it seems that the Academy Awards has slowly descended into a minefield of controversy for things that have absolutely nothing to do with what the show is for which is the celebration of the film industry and movies. Year after year, there's always something dumb that gains traction for people to post about on social media that has nothing to do with film but everything to do with toxic celebrity culture.
