The Academy expressed their "deep gratitude" to comedian Chris Rock for keeping his cool last month, as they announced Will Smith has been banned from the Oscars for 10 years.
Will, 53, shall "not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually", after a investigation took place after his assault on Chris at last month's awards.
In a full statement announcing the Best Actor winner's decade-long ban, the Academy said how Will slapping Chris across the face on stage at the 94th Oscars "overshadowed" what is meant to be a celebration of the incredible work done by many in the movie industry.
