The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences issued a very short statement after the Oscars last night.
It addressed, in one sentence, Will Smith going on stage and slapping Chris Rock. The statement, shared on socials, said “The Academy does not condone violence of any form.” It then added “Tonight we are delighted to celebrate our 94th Academy Awards winners, who deserve this moment of recognition from their peers and movie lovers around the world.”
While Chris Rock opted not to file charges, as we told you, some voting members of the Academy are demanding more after the incident.
