Hundreds of Oscar voters weigh in on the decision to bar the star of “King Richard” from attending the Oscars or any other Academy function for the next decade.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ board of governors held a special meeting on Friday, during which it decided to bar Will Smith, who slapped and profaned Chris Rock during the 94th Academy Awards on March 27, from returning to the Oscars or attending any other Academy events for the next ten years.

Since then, a diverse group of Academy members has shared their reactions to the board’s statement with The Hollywood Reporter. (On the condition of anonymity, some members spoke.)

Carol Connors, music branch: “He’s not going to be able to present next year, and I think hurray for that. I don’t think he should be allowed on the Academy stage. What he did on the world stage was unacceptable. Ten years is an important round number. I don’t think it should have been one year or five years. Ten is appropriate. But I’m glad he will not present next year, after what he did. What if Chris would have fallen down and hit his head? The one guy is what, 140 pounds soaking wet, and the other guy played Muhammad Ali. Can you imagine what must have gone through Chris’ mind at that moment? And I think he handled it with great dignity.”

Don Hahn, producers branch: “I hope it buys time for Mr. Smith to reflect and get help with the complicated issues that seem to haunt him. And we owe Chris Rock an honorary statue and some ibuprofen for holding it all together with humility.”

Barry Morrow, writers branch: “As a believer in second chances, I want to see Mr. Smith host next year’s telecast. Punishment should fit the crime.”

Stephen Geller, writers branch: “What security measures is the Academy taking to ensure the safety of its audience and participants within any and all events held on its various premises? Should not those who have caused such disruption be subject to immediate civil and/or criminal penalties?”

Rabbi Marvin Hier, documentary branch: “I’ve known Will Smith for a long time. He’s done many good things for the Museum of Tolerance [which Hier runs], but this was beyond the pale and the Academy did the right thing.”

Marketing/public relations branch member: “I think Will got off lucky: he didn’t face any criminal charges. He eclipsed very touching moments like Troy Kotsur’s speech and Jessica Chastain’s speech.”
