LOS ANGELES (AP) - Will Smith banned from Oscars, other film academy events for 10 years for slapping Chris Rock onstage at Academy Awards.
The move comes after a meeting of the academy’s Board of Governors to discuss a response to Smith’s actions.
The academy in a statement called Smith’s actions “unacceptable and harmful.”
Smith pre-emptively resigned from the academy last week during the run-up to the meeting and said he would accept any punishment the academy handed down.
An email sent to representatives for Smith seeking comment was not immediately returned.
