NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Jimmy Kimmel says Will Smith’s now-infamous Oscars slap has ‘got to come up in some way’ during next year’s ceremony.
The US talk show host, who was recently announced as next year’s Academy Awards host, said he did not want to ‘make light’ of the incident.
Smith stormed the stage during the 94th Academy Awards in March and attacked Chris Rock, after the comedian made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
He was later banned from Academy events for 10 years over the incident.
