Will Smith Banned from Oscars Ceremony for Next 10 Years After Chris Rock Slap, Academy Decides
Will Smith formally resigned from the Academy a week ago, saying he would "accept any further consequences the Board deems appropriate"
Nearly two weeks after Will Smith hit Chris Rock onstage at the Oscars, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has decided on a repercussion under its guidelines.
On Friday, the Academy's Board of Governors met virtually to discuss the situation, ultimately determining that "for a period of 10 years from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards," according to a letter sent by Academy President David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson and obtained by PEOPLE.
"During our telecast, we did not adequately address the situation in the room. For this, we are sorry. This was an opportunity for us to set an example for our guests, viewers and our Academy family around the world, and we fell short — unprepared for the unprecedented," they wrote.
Addressing Rock and hosts Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall, Rubin and Hudson wrote, "We want to express our deep gratitude to Mr. Rock for maintaining his composure under extraordinary circumstances. We also want to thank our hosts, nominees, presenters and winners for their poise and grace during our telecast."
"This action we are taking today in response to Will Smith's behavior is a step toward a larger goal of protecting the safety of our performers and guests, and restoring trust in the Academy. We also hope this can begin a time of healing and restoration for all involved and impacted."
Smith, 53, said in a statement via his rep, "I accept and respect the Academy's decision."
The meeting was originally set for April 18 but was pushed up to April 8 since Smith formally resigned from the Academy on April 1. With expulsion off the table, Academy president David Rubin made moves to expedite the process for any possible sanctions, writing in a memo, "It is in the best interest of all involved for this to be handled in a timely fashion."
After the ceremony, the Academy announced that it "officially started a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences" and shared the organization's Standards of Conduct that "provide an ethical framework for Academy members." The Academy stated, "Members should act in a manner consistent with the good reputation of the Academy."
Unacceptable conduct includes "physical contact that is uninvited and, in the situation, inappropriate and unwelcome." The Standards of Conduct also say that if a member is found to have violated the standards, "the Academy may take any disciplinary action permitted by the Academy's Bylaws, up to and including suspension of membership or expulsion from membership."
Days after publicly apologizing to Rock and admitting his actions were wrong, Smith resigned from the Academy last Friday, and the Academy formally accepted the resignation.
The King Richard actor said in a statement via his rep at the time, "I have directly responded to the Academy's disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful and inexcusable. The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home. I betrayed the trust of the Academy."
"I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken," he continued. "I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film."
Smith concluded, "So, I am resigning from membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and will accept any further consequences the Board deems appropriate. Change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason."
Whoopi Goldberg — who is among the Academy's Board of Governors — recently said on The View that she thinks Smith's career will bounce back from the Oscars controversy: "He'll be fine, he'll be back. No worries." Other members of the board include Ava DuVernay, Steven Spielberg, Laura Dern and Rita Wilson.

The woke brigade
I've always been a moderate fan of Will Smith's, but I believe with his popularity, and the fact that he was up for a Grammy probably put him in an instant quagmire as to whether he should stand up for his "lady" or be the bigger man of settling his beef back stage.
I imagine the real question is "will Will Smith's actions result in decreased fan base, fewer films, etc". For the real filmmakers, I can't imagine them wanting to hire an actor/actress who is banned from the Oscars for the next ten years or incurring a decreased fan base. Afterall, those in the limelight of life are held to higher standards and that means money to the film producers.

Until this happened I did not think Chris Rock was still alive. Though he had retired to live next to his dentist neighbour. 15 minutes of fame was over.1 . 0 to Will Smith
Get real. Producers want talent that puts buts in seats. Men in Black and Bad Boys do just that.
i was going to say the same thing.. a stag who shares his wife only allows that wife to be fucked when he says its time.. you wont touch speak or see that woman until daddy says its ok.. takes a lot more strength and control to do/allow that to happen vs just being a bull who comes by when he is told.. im sorry my daddy is black and trust me hes no beta
I don't feel sorry for Will Smith one bit. He set a bad example for his children and did something stupid, on national TV no less. He's lucky he wasn't hauled out of the room in handcuffs. So he can't attend the Academy Award ceremonies for 10 years. Good.
Would you feel the same way if Chris Rock had made an off colour remark about some one suffering from cancer? He went too far for a laugh at someone else medical condition. Now a have not seen in years comedian is selling out again. He knew what he was doing. So did Will Smith.
Sorry not a Chris Rock or Will Smith fan. Oh and have not watched the academy awards show in thirty years. Better things to do like the Dish’s.
This is reckless speculation, but what if Will Smith did it on purpose to get back at the Academy for all the years he didn't win an award, and for all the other black people that have been wronged by the Academy.
Upstage the Academy on its most important night, seems fair enough. Chris Rock may not have been in on it, but he'll still benefit from it regardless.
And the 10 years dosent really matter that much. He can't go, but most of Hollywood can't go on that night either.
Once again...Reckless Speculation

Yes, I would feel the same whatever Chris Rock had said, even if he had insulted my mom. Nasty words should never be met with violence.
I think the last time I watch the first hour Bob Hope was the Host.
I didn't know much about Will Smith private life. Just some hints from the meme.
Well, after the slap I tried to understand wtf was happening and document myself.
My conclusion was he should divorce and get some help. The first part is going to happen, wanted or not.

Well depending on what your google results shows you, you could see that Will Smith as had gay relationships & anyway any man that wants to keep any woman thats happy to cheat on him & tell him is a loser.
I just tried to stick to what I could see and confirm in videos, or interview where I could read the actual words they said (not reconstruction from media).
I know that this can't give me a real knowledge of what happened, so it's just my opinion.
I think that this relationship isn't good for him. Maybe not for her, too.
Seriously speaking, he looks sad and in a situation of fragility.
I am not saying that with malice, I don't judge. I didn't judge even when they said they were a open couple. I just think they are not good togheter, and that he is breaking.
Only a total fool would say yes to having a open relationship, where one can be fucking someone eles in ur fucking marriage bed in your house you gotta be crazy lol.
Well it was quite clear that was not a open relationship for real...
But it would be strange for me to criticize a open couple, since I dream of my gf fucking with a black guy lol
My friend what you want is 100% different from what Will had trust me, you 100% give ur blessing for it to happen & would even love to watch, his was nothing like that.
