Ahead of the 95th Academy Awards, the organisers have a new "crisis team" in place. The creation of the crisis team is a response to the 2022 Oscars, where Will Smith infamously walked on stage and slapped presenter Chris Rock. Academy president Janet Yang previously said the group's response to the incident was not swift enough, Variety reported.
