    It means he can cash-in every year when the Academy Awards roll around.

        So disturbing. But a masterpiece.

          I think it just means he can't vote on the awards. Maybe doesn't get screeners of movies for consideration. Also won't be allowed to assault presenters with impunity.

          All of SAG gets the screeners. Basically the producers send them to all to generate buzz.

          Remember CJQ? He would get them.

          Only non-witches get due process.

            What does it mean to resign from the Academy? What are the consequences of that?

            Good question.

            Offhand, I'd guess he's not eligible for any award in the future, and can't attend the annual circle jerk award ceremony.

            So it means nothing of relevance.

              Resigning seems over the top. You can argue whether he should or shouldn't have done it, but resigning from SAG gives the incident more relevance than is warranted.

                      Comedian Tom Segura, one of the greats and one of my favorites, weighs in with an opinion shared by many in the stand up comic world:

                      Education is extremely important.

                          Yeah, well, I seriously doubt Will would take a poke at Shaq, discretion being the better part of valor.

                            This was on CBS Sunday Morning. It's about the most sensible thing I've heard on it, although it really goes nowhere. Much like the original event.

                                        The Oscars present a convenient ambush spot for out of line comedians unfairly attacking our most honored celebrities, but it is hardly the only venue where comedians are exposed. I would caution those "jokesters" to allow discretion to be the better part of valor, and stop making fun of famous people. It is simply not worth it. And let's be honest - it is simply never funny to bully celebrities with hurtful words.

                                        Education is extremely important.
