A formal review has been launched into the altercation between Will Smith and comedian Chris Rock during the Oscars ceremony, the Academy has announced.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said it "condemned" the actions of Mr Smith. Mr Smith, who won his first Academy Award for King Richard, appeared to take offence to a gag Mr Rock made about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair.
The Magic Mike XXL star and Red Table Talk host has previously spoken about her struggles with alopecia and said it is what prompted her to shave her head. Referring to her buzzcut, Mr Rock said: "Jada, can't wait for GI Jane 2", prompting the actress to roll her eyes.
