Oscars 2023: Crisis team in place for ceremony, after the Will Smith slap
By Helen BushbyEntertainment reporter
A " crisis team" will be introduced at this year's Oscars, to handle any real-time incidents as a response to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock during the 2022 ceremony.
Academy chief executive Bill Kramer the new unit had " run many scenarios" in The Hope they will be " prepared for anything".
" Because of Last Year , we've opened our minds to the many things that can happen at The Oscars , " He Said .
They are now quicker to react, He Said .
Academy president Janet Yang previously said the response to Smith's altercation with Rock was not swift Enough .
After he made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's bald head, which she shaved following an alopecia diagnosis. After returning to his seat, The Actor repeatedly shouted, " Keep My Wife 's name out your [expletive] mouth" at Rock.
Despite The Incident , he remained at The Ceremony and later collected the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in King Richard .
Although Smith later resigned from The Academy , it took several more days for the organisation to make a decision on his membership. He was ultimately and other Academy events for 10 Years .
Kramer said the new team would be able to gather " very quickly" to issue a response on The Night of The Show itself.
" Let's hope something doesn't happen and we never have to use these [plans], but we already have frameworks in place that we can modify. "
The Crisis team has already been deployed, following The Surprise best actress nomination for British actress Andrea Riseborough last month.
The Star 's little-seen Indie Film To Leslie was an outsider in The Oscars race, but she secured a nomination After being championed by stars like Gwyneth Paltrow , Courteney Cox , Jennifer Aniston and Edward Norton .
Questions were raised over whether their endorsements contravened The Oscars ' rules on campaigning.
The Academy that the issues did " not rise to The Level that The Film 's nomination should be rescinded".
" You know, that happened on a Tuesday and, Six Days later, we were able to issue our formal statement from the board that really carved out a plan for us, " Kramer told Time.
Asked about The Ability to respond to " potential surprises" at this year's ceremony, which will take place on 12 March, Kramer said having TV presenter Jimmy Kimmel as host was an asset.
" You want someone like Jimmy On Stage who is used to dealing with live TV, " He Said . " Things don't always go as planned, so you have a host in place who can really pivot and manage those moments. "
He Said he felt audiences " feel very safe and engaged with his energy".
In 2017, Kimmel steered The Oscars back on track After La La Land was mistakenly announced as The Winner of best picture.
" It Hit Me that I was the only one wearing a microphone, and I should probably go Up There to sort it out, " said the Chat Show host in The Aftermath of The Incident .
Last Year 's awards were US comics Wanda Sykes , Regina Hall , and Amy Schumer .
" It's so important to have a host Who Knows How To handle live television and a live audience, " Kramer added, saying he hoped it was " The Beginning of a lovely, long new relationship" with Kimmel.
Kramer, aware of dwindling TV audience figures, added that this year's show would be " much more immersive, much more nominee-focused, and much more focused on all of the disciplines of filmmaking".
