The Film Academy’s board of directors is holding an emergency meeting to decide how to respond to Will Smith’s slap of Chris Rock at the Oscars. While he may be banned from next year’s ceremony, experts say it’s unlikely that his award will be revoked. Jim Carrey said he was disgusted at the standing ovation Smith got shortly after he slapped Rock. “I felt like Hollywood was spineless, en masse,” he said. Whoopi Goldberg posited that Smith’s race was part of why he wasn’t removed from the theater.
