The actor has entered the self-deprecating stage of the awards scandal as the anniversary of the iconic Will Smith Oscar smack draws near. The 54-year-old pays close attention as Miss Money Working explores the advantages of having conversations with inanimate objects in a TikTok duet video. She advises that since everything has consciousness, it is a good idea to ask these objects to offer their honest impressions about you.
“You will get an answer in your mind from your intuition,” Miss Money Working explains, suggesting that people could ask a pen for its opinion. Folks will then come to their own conclusion from the impression the objects give off. Alongside the clip, Will Smith is shown reacting to her words.
After a moment, he reaches off-camera and brings his Oscar statuette into the frame.
As Will Smith starts to ask the Oscar a question, the video ends. Fans immediately deemed the clip to be a self-deprecating reference to the 2022 Academy Awards fiasco. Since it was posted, people have been enthusiastically sharing their delight at the gag. Raven-Symoné replied with a laughing emoji, while another follower said, “This has got to be the hardest flex in 2023.”
The video spread across other social media platforms. But the reaction to the Will Smith clip remained constant. “Remorse period expired. Welcome back Will,” one person tweeted.
“The GOAT that you are,” said another. “He is a legend,” quipped a different commenter said. “Oscar, what have we learned?” another TikTok user joked.
