After the Will Smith Case, the Hollywood Academy consulted with its members about future changes at the Oscars

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Hollywood is soliciting the views of its members on Some of the most controversial aspects of the Oscarsincluding the decision to pre-televise eight technical categories and the launch of the fan award.

The first part of the questionnaire asks seven questions about the overall experience of Academy members, including what they can improve as an organization and how they can work to make the film industry more inclusive.

The second part of the survey is entirely devoted to the latest gala, made by Will Packer, which will no doubt be marked forever by Will Smith’s slap in the face by Chris Rock.

This year, the Academy also showcased a Fan Favorite, a resource for attracting more viewers, which was voted on via Twitter and ended up. allocation to Army of the Dead directed by Zack Snyder.

One of the questions says: Eight awards were presented and taped at the Dolby Theater an hour before the television broadcast began, which of the following is closest to your perspective?

The pre-televised awards

Response options include: Pre-registration and editing of some of the award presentations during this year’s fair was successful and the Academy should do it again this way next year.

Pre-registration or early submission may work for some awards, but not in the way they have this year. The Academy needs to go back to the drawing board about it.

The Oscars are as good as ever. The Academy should not pre-register any awards and instead all awards should be sent directly.

The Oscars need an overhaul and the format of the show needs to be reconsidered.

The vote of fans in the networksang

In this sense, the questionnaire asks about public participation via Twitter. Using these options as much as possible answers: Oscars favorite channel helped fans enjoy this year’s Oscars, and it should continue.

The Oscar fan favorite is a good idea, but it needs to be improved.

Oscar fan favorites shouldn’t go on.

We need to see what the “academics” will respond to and to what extent that changes in the next gala.

The Will Smith-Chris Rock Affair

For his part, the general producer of the last gala, Will Packer, gave his version of the most famous “slap in the face” … not of the cinema, but of the Oscars. It seems, in the first place, he himself believes Will Smith’s slap was a gag endorsed by Chris Rockbecause the actor walks steady on stage towards the comedian and he does not move at any time.

“I thought it was something Chris and Will did on their own … We’re not used to it.” Also, when Smith returned to his seat he was laughing, as Rock did after being hit. Until the actor shouted, “Keep my husband’s name in your mouth,” with no reaction.

When Chris Rock left the stage, Packer asked him if he had actually punched Smith, to make it really clear if this was really happening: “Did he really hurt you?” And Rock answered me: ‘Yes. Muhammad Ali just punched me ‘. He immediately went into joke mode, but you can tell he was quite shocked. “
