Claim
As a result of the incident, Netflix cancelled production on an action film that was set to star Smith titled Fast and Loose.
Correction

The project was reported as being put on hold after the Oscars incident, not cancelled, and it was still actively moving forward in 2025.

Full reasoning

This sentence overstates what happened to Fast and Loose.

In April 2022, TheWrap reported that Netflix had put the film on hold after the Oscars slap, not cancelled it. Then in August 2025, TheWrap reported that Fast and Loose was still an upcoming Netflix action movie, was searching for a new director after Michael Bay exited, and had been on track to start production before being moved to 2026.

A project that was still being developed and rescheduled in 2025 was not accurately described as having been "cancelled" in 2022. The more accurate description is that the project was shelved or put on hold after the incident, and later remained in development.

Claim
In 2005, he received the honorary César Award; that same year, he was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Musical for Fela!;
Correction

Will Smith’s Tony nomination for *Fela!* was not in 2005. The Tony Awards’ official nominee list shows *Fela!* was nominated for Best Musical in 2010.

Full reasoning

The chronology here is incorrect.

The official Tony Awards nominee archive shows that Fela! was a nominee in the 2010 Best Musical field, with Will & Jada Pinkett Smith listed among the producers. The official 2005 Best Musical nominee list does not include Fela! at all.

So while Smith did receive an honorary César in 2005, his Tony nomination connected to Fela! came five years later, in 2010, not "that same year."
