Will Smith is unlikely to face a "decade out in the cold" of Hollywood, despite being banned from the Oscars for 10 years for slapping Awards host Chris Rock.While Smith will likely struggle to appear in any significant films worthy of Oscar consideration, work opportunities in Tinseltown will not close to Smith.Industry experts say that the talented star could be lured to the small screen for a comeback - and will have offers to appear in lesser budget action films.Professionally the ban is a huge blow given Smith had spent the last decade reclaiming his status as a serious acting force culminating in an awards' season clean sweep for his work in King Richard.One US marketing consultant says Smith's immediate fate falls in the hands of Hollywood allies and cinemagoers.Smith, who was allowed to keep his gong for Best Actor, released a statement after the Friday night ban saying "I accept and respect the Academy's decision."Smith's career and earnings hang in the balance as film studios "pause for thought" over how to treat Smith moving forward.Marketing consultant Jeff Kelly believes Smith's career is not over and will "in time" be tabled acting role deals.Kelly, a consultant at entertainment PR firm PRrppd (corr) said: "There is no denying that the slap was despicable and the ban is harsh but justified."Mr Smith has apologized and while quiet, there is still strong affection for him in sections of Hollywood."It appears too easy to write his career off, his fate is a little more complicated.

The guy literally tested positive for Covid this morning," wrote another.A third said: "This is ridiculous, no one gives a s*** about Covid safety anymore do they? Thought Paqueta was positive."Should Paqueta be allowed to play? Let us know what you think in the comments section.David Moyes' side head into tonight's clash with everything still to play for after drawing 1-1 during a tense encounter at the London Stadium last week.Jarrod Bowen initially gave the home side the lead before former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele hit back a few minutes later to level the tie, and the Hammers were frustratingly denied a late chance by a pitch-invader who brainlessly stormed the field while they were counter-attacking.Victory tonight would see the east London side head into their first proper European semi-final in 46 years, so here's hoping Paqueta doesn't infect them all out there!
