Smith Must Return His Oscar by Mail: Harry Lennix

American actor and member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Harry Lennix, has stated that his colleague Will Smith must return his Oscar. He wrote about this in his column for Variety.

Lennix expressed that the only person who can restore the 'good name' of this cinema award is Smith himself. 'He must understand the seriousness of his crime. Slapping The Rock live on air in front of millions during the Oscars on March 27,' Lennix said.

According to him, Smith should swiftly send back his golden statuette to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and make a public statement. 'Smith's brutality has robbed the evening of its dignity. This was proven when the stunned attendees of the Oscars spontaneously applauded him, who had just committed an assault before their eyes,' Lennix wrote.
