Will Smith's People's Revolt after the Academy's decision, which banned him from the Oscars for the next ten years after slapping comedian Chris Rock live on TV during the Oscars ceremony.

A "disproportionate" punishment, for some even "racist" against the King Richard actor.

All the comments on the net highlight Hollywood's "hypocrisy", because such drastic measures have not been taken specifically against "white predators".

Harvey Weinstein, sentenced to 23 years in prison after raping about eighty women, or Roman Polanski. In fact, Weinstein and Polanski, like Bill Cosby, were expelled in the #MeToo days.

For Will Smith, who having sprinkled his head with ashes had already returned the organization card, only the ten-year “non-invitation” was triggered, with the proviso that the actor can still continue to be a candidate and in the event even win the Oscar. But without withdrawing it.

A veritable litany of names never treated in the same way. Never ousted despite allegations of sexual harassment or partner violence and anti-Semitic expressions: Kevin Spacey, Casey Affleck, Woody Allen, James Franco, James Toback, Dustin Hoffman, Mel Gibson.

British commentator Piers Morgan also attacked the Academy head-on, using the Polanski case: "In 2003 (the director was 70 years old, ed) he was given the Oscar for 'The Pianist' despite being 44 years old and drugged. raped a thirteen year old ".

Polanski has been a fugitive since 1978: after pleading guilty to five of the six counts, he fled the US before the sentence and to accept the award "on behalf of the Academy" was his friend Harrison Ford who delivered it to him in his home in Paris .
