While Emancipation was expected to be affected due to the Will Smith slapgate incident

Amidst &#8216;Emancipation&#8217; Debates, the Will Smith’s Slavery Action/Drama Makes It Top the Oscar Shortlist for 2023 in THIS Category

Will Smith starrer Emancipation is getting into the final rounds of Oscar
nomination. While it was already making buzz for winning potential awards, there
was a question about whether the movie would be affected due to Will Smith’s
slap gate incident. Now that the 2023 Oscars are already nearing, it will be
seen how the Apple Tv+ movie fares.



Earlier, Smith was banned from attending the Oscars for the next decade and
resigned from the academy. This means he will likely be not allowed to receive
his own award in case he makes an entry into a category. Currently, nominations
for about categories have been released. But has Emancipation made it into any
of them?


WILL SMITH STARRER EMANCIPATION GETS NOMINATED FOR OSCARS IN THIS CATEGORY

While the list for the Oscars 2023 category is still coming out, Emancipation
has already made an entry. As per
[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/oscars-shortlists-95th-academy-awards-unveiled-1235285262/]
Hollywood Reporter, the category that Emancipation has entered is Makeup and
Hairstyling. A large crew was involved in the making of the movie. While they
have great potential to win, other competitors in the category are, All Quiet on
the Western Front, Amsterdam, Babylon, The Batman, Black Panther: Wakanda
Forever, Blonde, Crimes of the Future, Elvis, and Brandon Fraser’s much
anticipated, The Whale. 



Emancipation had a budget of $120 million, out of which $35 million went to Will
Smith outright. Although the movie is not doing as big as expected at the box
office. With each theatre making an average of $3k so far. There is a debate
about whether Smith’s slap gate incident has caused this to happen.

On the other hand, the movie itself has been criticized for being hyped up.
While some fans wanted the movie to hold its release until things cooled off.
Neither Chris Rock nor the fans have seemed to forgive Smith yet. As for the
Oscars, they are currently said to be held on 12th March. It will be seen
whether Smith’s incident is mentioned during the event at any point, but he will
surely not be there to witness it.
