Should Will Smith Present the 2022 Best Actress Award Next Year?


Though it does not happen every time, it is traditional for the winner of the Best Actor award for one year to present the Best Actress Oscar to the next year's winner as part of the ceremony.

For instance, 2020 Best Actor winner Anthony Hopkins flew all the way from..Wales?...to present the 2021 Best Actress Oscar to Jessica Chastain in 2022.

So, ostensibly Will Smith has "first dibs" to present the Best Actress Oscar for 2022 next year in 2023.

The Academy will have to decide...

But wait! The 2020 Best Actress Oscar winner was...Frances McDormand. And she did NOT appear to present the 2021 Best Actor award in 2022. Nowhere to be seen. Where was she?

But wait: Instead of McDormand , waiting to present the 2021 Best Actor Oscar to Will Smith(the favored winner, so they bet right) were three stars from Pulp Fiction, one of whom was...Will Smith's fellow Scientologist John Travolta.

Hmmm.

Anyway, the Academy will have to decide next year whether or not to invite Will to present the Best Actress Oscar.
