The people over on the Oscars have gone all “Zero Dark Thirty” … making a “crisis team” in case somebody goes all Will Smith throughout the ceremony. Thing is … what the hell will they do?
According to Academy honchos, “We have a whole crisis team, something we’ve never had before, and many plans in place. We’ve run many scenarios. So it is our hope that we will be prepared for anything that we may not anticipate right now but that we’re planning for just in case it does happen.”
The concept is that the disaster workforce can shortly assemble and determine what motion they’re going to take if somebody or one thing will get out of hand.

It appears the thought is likely to be to yank somebody off the stage or boot them from the auditorium in the event that they do one thing actually untoward. As a matter of reality, the Prez of the Academy just lately expressed remorse her org did not take some kind of motion when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.
We’re guessing the thought is likely to be to order Will out of the constructing shortly … it was tremendous embarrassing the Academy let Will experience out the present, and settle for an Oscar to the applause of many.
But here is the deal … these moments occur shortly, and to anticipate a committee of any kind to attain a choice in minutes or, extra appropriately, seconds throughout a stay TV broadcast is a huge stretch.
Stay tuned.
