Likely what will happen is that if Smith doesn't pull any more stupid shit in public, the Academy will, at the end of his ten year banishment, make a big deal in year eleven out of him being redeemed. They'll bring him out on stage and he'll get a standing ovation, because these people are so shallow, all they have is appearances, and wouldn't that make for a great PR stunt? Smith will walk out, contrite, without any announcement- but everyone will know that it's going to happen, and then he can stand there humbly, not smiling while the ovation for him slowly builds. Smith's eyes will well-up with tears and he will hang his head. The hosts(s) will walk out on stage to hug him...
And they will present him with a Life Time Achievement Award. Annnnnd…scene!

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
