Oscar&#039;s President Janet Yang reveals whether Will Smith can get his unnamed Academy trophy engraved, considering the slapgate incident.

&#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221; &#8211; Academy President Answers If Will Smith Should Get His 2022 Oscar Trophy Engraved

Will Smith may have been banned from the Oscars, but he left it with a trophy.
The actor will certainly not return to the awards for the next 10 years. But one
cannot deny that he bagged the well-deserved award for his role in King Richard.
Smith recently put out his wish of engraving the trophy, especially since he
could not attend the Governor’s party.



The majority of members of the Academy board are keeping their distance from the
actor. But the Oscars president has now responded to Smith’s wish. She answered
whether he could get it engraved and her thoughts on the slap gate incident.


JANET YANG OPENS UP ON WHETHER WILL SMITH CAN HAVE HIS NAME ENGRAVED

A couple of other events usually follow the Oscars event. But considering Will
Smith’s slap gate incident, he could not make it to all of them last year. But
the actor took to TikTok asking his fans to pick up an object and ask what it
thinks of it itself. He then proceeded to showcase his Academy Award and
confessed his wish to get it engraved. The winners usually get it engraved
during the Governor’s party, but Smith’s wide criticism stopped him from making
public appearances since the Oscars night.

Touching on the topic of Will Smith, she did advise him to have his name on the
prize, stating how he deserved to win it for his acting skills. “I don’t know if
he should personally come,” she cautioned but suggested that someone from his
side could approach on his behalf.

Time has passed, but not many have still forgotten the fateful night, especially
with the actor feeling its scars even now.


THE AFTERMATH OF OSCAR’S INCIDENT WAS MORE THAN JUST AN UNNAMED TROPHY

It has been a year since the Oscar incident should the entertainment industry.
Despite winning the major Best Actor award, almost everyone turned vocal against
his actions. Even Yang, who was present at the venue, assumed it was a joke at
first. She thought that the Ali actor would simply pretend to punch rock until
he actually did it.

The scandal resulted in Smith going underground for months. After a much-needed
delay, he released his movie Emancipation, which did not make entry to Oscar’s

despite much buzz. With the Oscars taking place tomorrow, it will be seen if the
actor is mentioned anyhow during the ceremony.
