Academy condemns Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock at Oscars, launches 'formal review'UPDATE: Academy condemns Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock, saying it has started a formal review and will “explore further action and consequences in accordance with our bylaws, standards of conduct and California law.' Stupid. How about condemning Rock for those horrendous comments? Do they condone those? Condemning people and their actions aren't the same as holding them accountable for their actions, regardless of their status. This is another example of why and how people do not have any confidence in the 'rule of law'. You have money? you can sit back down after assault.
