The Academy has officially banned Will Smith from attending the Oscars for the next 10 years. During this year’s broadcast, Smith slapped the show’s host Chris Rock harder than a used car salesman slaps the bonnet of a 2012 Toyota Camry.
“The 94th Oscars were meant to be a celebration of the many individuals in our community who did incredible work this past year,” Academy president David Rubin and chief executive Dawn Hudson said in a statement after a lengthy review process.
