THE OSCAR SLAP GATE’S NEGATIVE IMPACT ON WILL SMITH AND HIS POPULARITY

Vanity Fair says
[https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/10/will-smiths-popularity-decreased-dramatically-post-oscars-slap-study-says],
according to data collected by Q score, Will Smith is no longer a highly
celebrated star in the public’s eye. The striking differences in his Q score
polls proved it all. With a positive score of 39, Smith was listed as one of the
top 10 most positively ranked actors in the industry. He shared the top bars
with celebrated stars like Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington.

However, right after the mishap in the Oscar ceremony on the 27th of March, his
scores decreased. The Men in Black star reportedly fell from 39 and remained
stagnant at 24 till July 2022. While Smith’s positive scores degraded, his
negative scores skyrocketed with double the average baseline negative score for
any actor. As is clearly visible, the Oscar slap gate proved a bit too expensive
for Will to keep up with the scores.

For context, Q scores in simple terms are a biannually measured statistic. It
basically helps gauge a celebrity’s popularity in terms of scores. For any
infamous spike in the star’s fandom, the ratings put up a negative number.
Whereas for any glorious acclaim or popularity, they increase the positive
accordingly.
