On March 27, the <\/span>awards ceremony<\/span><\/a> took place at the Oscars’ traditional home at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and aired live on ABC and in more than 200 territories worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Will Smith smacking Chris Rock to the Oscars winners being announced, this year\u2019s Oscars was filled to the brim with excitement. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before the Slap<\/b><\/h2>\n

Comedian Chris Rock took the stage to present the best documentary feature award. In a televised interview on April 1, Oscars producer Will Packer gave insight into what occurred before the slap. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018Watch this, he\u2019s going to kill.\u2019 I knew he had an amazing lineup of jokes that we had, we had them in the prompter. And ultimately he did not get to one joke. He didn\u2019t tell one of the planned jokes, he was just immediately freestyling \u2014 but I’ll tell you, if there\u2019s anybody you don\u2019t worry about going out in front a live audience and riffing off the cuff, it\u2019s Chris Rock. Nobody\u2019s better,” Packer said on “Good Morning America.”<\/span><\/p>\n

While Rock was presenting an award, Jada Pinkett Smith\u2019s head was jokingly compared to Demi Moore\u2019s bald \u201cG.I. Jane\u201d character. Rock turned to Pinkett Smith and said, \u201cJada, I love you. \u2018G.I. Jane 2,\u2019 I can\u2019t wait to see it.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The Slap<\/b><\/h2>\n

After seeing that his wife was upset, Smith took the stage and slapped Rock across the face. Smith returned to his seat and bellowed at Rock, \u201cKeep my wife\u2019s name out of your [redacted] mouth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Later when Smith was accepting the Best Actor award for his leading role in the tennis drama \u201cKing Richard,\u201d Smith apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Explaining his actions Smith said, \u201cLove will make you do crazy things. To do what we do, you got to be able to take abuse. You got to be able to have people talk crazy about you. In this business, you got to be able to have people disrespecting you. And you got to smile, you got to pretend like that\u2019s okay.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

After the Slap<\/b><\/h2>\n

The following day, he issued a<\/span> public apology on Instagram <\/span><\/a>directed to Rock, \u201cthe Academy, the producers of the show, and all the attendees and everyone watching around the world.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

On Instagram, he wrote, \u201cMy behavior at last night\u2019s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about my Jada\u2019s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Two days after the slap, The Academy met with Will Smith over Zoom before its board of governors to discuss the actor’s Oscar attack on Chris Rock. Smith apologized to Academy President David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson during the call. He said that he is aware that hitting Rock will have repercussions.<\/span><\/p>\n

On April 1, Will Smith resigned from the Academy. In a statement provided to <\/span>The Hollywood Reporter<\/span><\/a>, Smith said he had \u201cbetrayed\u201d the trust of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences with conduct that was \u201cshocking, painful, and inexcusable.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

He said in the statement: \u201cI have directly responded to the Academy\u2019s disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

His statement continued: \u201cI deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He 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.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In response, David Rubin, President of the Academy, said in a statement: “We have received and accepted Mr. Will Smith’s immediate resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We will continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, in advance of our next scheduled board meeting on April 18.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In an update on the Academy’s final decision, Smith has been banned for 10 years<\/a> from all Academy-sponsored events, including the Oscars, for 10 years.<\/p>\n
