Will Smith’s upcoming film, Emanicpation, is now set for a 2022 release, having originally been slated for 2023.

However, industry officials made clear that while Will is still unable to attend, he can still be nominated for the prestigious awards.asked the Academy, including members of the actors branch.

However wonderful he may be in the film, it will be hard to watch it and not continually think of the slap. It will be really hard to judge the performance on merit, and by extension the whole film.
