Does anyone remember the actors and films that won an Oscar the year before? Unfortunately, the ceremony was and will be remembered mostly because of the awkward moment when Will Smith stepped onto the stage of the Kodak deal to attack Chris Rock. However, at the 2023 Oscars The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is ready to respond to a similar situation.. If it works, of course…
In an interview with TimeThis was stated by the director of the Hollywood Academy Bill Kramer. creation of a response team whose only task will be to counter any crisis that may arise during the Oscars 2023.
While it is certainly difficult, if not impossible, to anticipate an attack by a member of the public, the immediate reaction that follows may well be appropriate. In the case of what happened at the 2022 awards ceremony, The academy has never shown control or power. Will Smith not only stayed in the theatre, but won an Oscar for Best Actor within minutes.
Will Smith’s slap on the face of Chris Rock not only cast the first actor in a bad light – and partly the second for joking on a serious subject. The image of the Academy also suffered because they did not know how to react. Only a few weeks later, the organization banned Smith from any of its events for the next 10 years, but the damage was done.
It is for this reason that the organization of the Oscars 2023 has made every effort not to repeat the same mistake. “We hope to be ready for anything. Since last year, we have discovered a lot of situations that can arise at the Oscars, ”Kramer said.
The Academy Admits Its Mistakes Before the 2023 Oscars
Recently, Janet Young, President of the Academy, admitted that the body’s response to Will Smith’s attack was inadequate. In this sense, Kramer agreed with his colleague and confirmed that the 2023 Oscars are ready. Yes indeed Ideally, another unpleasant situation should not happen again. for those present and, of course, for the audience.
“People think about it [en la bofetada] as we approach the ceremony. As an organization, we must act quickly and interact with our members and candidates in a very transparent manner. Let’s hope this never happens again, but we could have acted faster. And I’m not just talking about the evening of the show, but our reaction after it.”
Bill Kramer.
The kind of transparency that Kramer refers to is precisely about the disclosure of the changes that were made before the celebration of the Oscars 2023. In addition to the crisis response team, they also announced that the red carpet will change color to champagne for the first time since 1961. The decision is simply due to the fact that this is an evening event where guests come dressed as such, and a champagne-colored carpet fits better with this idea.
The Oscars 2023 will take place next Sunday, March 12 at 18:00 in Mexico or Monday, March 13 at 01:00 in Spain. Of course, in hypertext we will have coverage.
