Will Smith has been banned from the Oscars for 10 years for slapping Chris Rock, but will be allowed to keep his award for Best Actor.

In a statement, the Academy blasted Smiths 'unacceptable' and 'harmful' behavior that 'overshadowed' the entire evening.

'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.

'The Board has decided, 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.

'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.'

In a statement, Smith told Deadline: 'I accept and respect the Academy’s decision.'

Who cares??  Who watches the Oscars anyways?  Other than this incident the Oscars would have gone another year without any true recognition or reporting by the MSM.

 Jada Pinkett Smith ‘never’ wanted to marry Will, cried at ‘horrible’ wedding

Jada Pinkett Smith confessed that she “really didn’t want to get married” to Will Smith.

In fact, the “Matrix” actress — now on the roasting spit of Smith’s infamous Oscars smack-down of Chris Rock and the Academy’s decision Friday to ban him from the ceremony for 10 years — admitted to “crying down the freaking aisle” before tying the knot with the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” star on New Year’s Eve in 1997.

“I was under so much pressure, you know, being a young actress, being young, and I was just, like, pregnant and I just didn’t know what to do,” declared Pinkett Smith, 50, in a freshly exhumed snippet from her “Red Table Talk” Facebook series. “I never wanted to be married.”

In the clip from 2018 — which has resurfaced amid renewed controversy around her louche “entanglement” with R&B singer August Alsina, 29 — Pinkett Smith candidly recalls her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, also known as “Gammy,” 68, forcing her and Smith to wed after she became pregnant with their first son together, Jaden, now 23.

What’s the over under on these two divorcing?

She’s a sick freak narcissist and he’s whipped. They’ve messed up their children’s lives. Please, please just end this farcical marriage.

Well, at least they are only afflicting their own at this point, and split up, they'd double the trouble sooner or later.

Sad about the kids, though.
