The motion picture academy on Friday banned Will Smith from attending the Oscars or any other academy event for 10 years following his slap of Chris Rock at the Academy Awards.

The move comes after a meeting of the academy鈥檚 Board of Governors to discuss a response to Smith鈥檚 actions.

The academy in a statement called Smith鈥檚 actions 鈥渦nacceptable and harmful.鈥�

Smith pre-emptively resigned from the academy last week during the run-up to the meeting and said he would accept any punishment the academy handed down.

An email sent to representatives for Smith seeking comment was not immediately returned.
