Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars Sunday night. Just minutes later, he accepted the award for Best Actor – but that award might be affected by his behavior earlier in the evening.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, which runs the Oscars, tweeted early Monday that it "does not condone violence of any form."
"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," the tweet continued. The Academy did not address if Smith's action violated its code of standards, or if he will face repercussions.
