A “crisis team” will be introduced at the Oscars to handle any unanticipated events, after Will Smith stormed the stage and slapped Chris Rock during last year’s ceremony.
Academy chief executive Bill Kramer said the new team had “run many scenarios” in the hope that they will be “prepared for anything” that might take place at the gala on 12 March, which is due to be hosted by US comedian Jimmy Kimmel.
