Los Angeles, April 9 - The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has banned actor Will Smith for 10 years from returning to the Oscars or attending any other Academy events. The decision has been taken 12 days after the first time Oscar winner slapped Chris Rock during the 94th Academy Awards ceremony over a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith.

However, despite the ban, Smith will retain the Oscar that he won in the Best Actor category for "King Richard", and will be eligible for future Oscar nominations and wins.



The Academy's 54-person board of governors held a special meeting on Friday to determine what action to take against Smith. The actor was heavily criticized by Hollywood celebrities for his conduct during the ceremony and some even called for him to lose the Oscar statuette that he was awarded and/or his eligibility for future Oscars.

Smith's suspension was expected even though he announced that he was resigning as a member of the organization a week ago. The Academy, however, gave some relief to the actor as it hasn't banned "The Men In Black" actor from the award nominations and wins.
