Academy awards ceremony that smeared the award of “Drive My Car”
Smith’s withdrawal statement on the play is visible
“Hollywood in chaos” (Chaos in Hollywood)
The Los Angeles Times reported on the front page with a photo of a black tie man (Will Smith) slapping another black man (Chris Rock).
It was the event at the 94th Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) Awards Ceremony held on March 27th.
(As will be described later, on April 1, five days following the incident, the slapped man voluntarily withdrew from the membership of the best academy for US entertainers. Even if he is hungry, he may not want to let go of the leading actor award. No, but it’s unlikely to end. More stringent measures are likely to come on April 18th.)
Since this scene has flowed all over the world, readers should have seen it.
It has already been reported on SNS etc. in detail, including the circumstances following that, and it may be an octopus in your ears, but a quick review will be like this.
“Hollywood, but Hollywood”
Those who are not particularly interested in movies may be laughed at, but the power of Hollywood cannot be underestimated.
Hollywood’s annual GDP (gross domestic product) is $ 504 billion (regarding 61.25 trillion yen). 34 times North Korea’s GDP ($ 14.9 billion). Same as Ireland.
It’s not just money. The impact of Hollywood on American society and politics is immeasurable. This is because it is one of the major factors in the formation of public opinion that greatly influences US politics.
Rock (57), who was slapped, is a black stand-up comedian (laughing entertainer) who moderated the 94th Academy Awards documentary best award.
