Will Smith joined the likes of Harvey Weinstein and Roman Polansky when he left the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences this week as a working actor.
This was a membership he earned not by application, but rather by being nominated for an award, according to its website. A member could also be nominated by two other Academy members. Smith was nominated twice before, for his roles in Ali and The Pursuit of Happyness.By giving up his membership, Smith will no longer enjoy early screenings for movies with the Academy, nor will he be able to vote for award nominations.
There is only one example of previous winners having their Oscars rescinded. Young Americans lost its Oscar in 1969 because it was actually released in 1967 which made it ineligible. Weinstein and Polansky both still have their Oscars.The Academy's board of governors is still scheduled to meet Apr 18 to address the matter, despite Smith having received a disciplinary hearing notice. The board reviews its members annually.
