This year’s Oscars took a turn when Will Smith was seen going up on stage to slap Chris Rock after he made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Smith’s bald head.

Although this happened, 20 minutes later Will Smith walked back up on stage to receive the award for best actor.

Viewers were confused as to why Will did not suffer any consequences for his actions, some even suggesting he get his award taken away. After discussion, the board of governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have finally made a decision - Will Smith is banned from attending the Oscars for the next 10 years.

The president of the Academy David Rubin and Chief Executive Dawn Hudson states that the Oscars were meant to be a celebration of many individuals within their community, but the joyful moments were overshadowed by Will’s actions.

Smith stated that he accepts and respects the Academy’s decision!
