Possible punishments for Will Smith will be discussed by the academy behind the Oscars later, having moved up meetings from later this month.
It's after he swore at, and slapped, comedian Chris Rock at the ceremony over a joke he'd made about his wife's alopecia.

The actor's already resigned his membership of the Academy.
Smith said he "betrayed the trust" of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
In a statement, he said: "I have directly responded to the academy's disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct."
"My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable."
Smith's resignation means he loses his voting rights, but he can still be nominated for an Oscar and win an award for any upcoming performances.
The Academy does not condone violence of any form.
