However, there might be a major obstacle on his path to Oscar glory. There was a stunning rumor being spread by a rival publicist during the Telluride Film Festival that claimed that Smith wasn’t vaxxed and that’s why he was a no-show at the fest. I took that rumor with a grain of salt. The months went ahead, “King Richard” consequently screened at the BFI London Film Festival and he was still a no-show. For someone who is a major Oscar contender to refrain from showing up to these fests or campaign, you’d have to think that something is off. Although I was skeptical, as someone just pointed out to me, a 10.06.21 THR piece entitled “COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates: Hollywood Battle Lines Emerge …” talks about a “high profile star” who was un-vaxxed and got production shut down on a movie in August due to a rampant number of COVID cases plaguing the set. I did a little more research and, lo and behold, “Emancipation,” in which Smith stars, had, if you can believe it, its production shut down in August due to a flurry of COVID cases. A little food for thought. Contribute Hire me
