The new film "Emancipation" starring Will Smith has already begun to be talked about.
It premiered on Apple TV+ and despite not receiving rave reviews, audiences are wondering if the actor could be nominated for an Oscar after his slap in the face to Chris Rock at last year's awards ceremony.
The film was released less than a year after that unfortunate moment, and unsurprisingly, viewers have not forgotten the actor's act. The fight was sparked by Rock's joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith's alopecia.

A Marca publication explains that since Apple TV was the first streaming platform to win an Oscar and "Emancipation" will be the next nominee, there is "hope" for Will Smith.
The award winners, like the nominees, are chosen by a panel of actors and directors who are members of the Academy. So if the film is included among the nominees, Smith may be among the names in contention for an Oscar.
After all, the actor won an Academy Award for Best Actor last year for his performance in the film The Williams Method, shortly after slapping Chris Rock, with no consequence for his action.
