I don't think it was staged. The Academy is too small-c conservative to do something like this on purpose. Even if one of the writers had come up with the idea, it would have been rejected as "too edgy."

And I don't see how you ever get Will Smith to agree to it. He does not need the fame, and this has some pretty big downsides in terms of his reputation, etc.

But the scandal I really want to see? If it comes out that the Academy rigged the voting so that Smith would win the Oscar in exchange for him agreeing to do this. Now THAT's a scandal!
