Will the Academy strip Will Smith’s Oscar by April 30?
On the live broadcast of the 94th Academy Awards, actor Will Smith slapped the face of the host, Chris Rock, for making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, Will’s wife. Will Smith was subsequently awarded the Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in the film "King Richard". This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) strips or otherwise voids Will Smith’s 2022 Oscar for Best Actor by April 30, 2022, 11:59:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from AMPAS (https://www.oscars.org/oscars), however other credible reporting may be used.
