A "formal review" into Will Smith's Oscar night slap of Chris Rock is underway, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said Monday.

The “slap that rocked the world” is nothing short of what people have come to expect from the privileged elites of a scandal-ridden Hollywood. At the 94th Academy Awards Sunday night, Will Smith smacked Chris Rock after he made alopecia jokes...

The "SNL" star is "disappointed" that the Academy would "just let Will Smith PHYSICALLY ATTACK a man, onstage, just because he didn't like a joke!"

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences told members its leaders are "upset and outraged" by Will Smith's behavior during the Oscars, in a letter obtained by CNN hours before a key meeting on Smith's future.
