The move comes after a meeting of the academy’s Board of Governors to discuss a response to Smith’s actions.
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.The academy also apologized for its handling of the situation and allowing Smith to stay and accept his best actor award for “King Richard.” In a statement in the days following the Oscars, the academy said Smith was asked to leave the ceremony but refused.
The ban means Smith will not be presenting one of the major awards at next year’s Oscars, as is tradition for the best actor winner.
