Although Rock was not yet prepared to discuss the incident, Oscar co-host Wanda Sykes told Ellen Degeneres on Wednesday that the incident was "gross" and that she was "still traumatized" by it.

Sykes said, "For them to let him stay in that room and enjoy the rest of the show and accept his award…. I was like, ‘How gross is this? This is just the wrong message. You assault somebody, you get escorted out of the building, and that's it. But for them to let him continue, I thought it was gross. I wanted to be able run out after he won and say, ‘Unfortunately, Will couldn't be here tonight…'

He continued, "So when I opened my eyes, I was like, 'Why is everyone so quiet?' I literally was not present for that whole entire moment. As I'm walking to the stage, I'm kind of putting two and two together, and I realize that that was a real moment maybe three seconds before I spoke words. But in my mind they're just doing a sketch or whatever and I'm like, 'OK, Ahmir, remember to thank your mom, dad,' so I was not present at all."

Sean Penn had a very clear message for the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences on Saturday (March 26th). He told CNN's Jim Acosta that if the Academy Awards doesn't include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, he will smelt the two Oscars he won for Best Actor in Mystic River and Milk.

"If it turns out to be what is happening, I would encourage everyone involved, though it may be their moment, and I understand that, to celebrate their films, it is so much more importantly their moment to shine, and to protest and to boycott that Academy Awards," the I Am Sam actor said.

"I myself, if it comes back to it, when I return, I will smelt mine in public. I pray that's not what happens. I pray there have not been arrogant people who consider themselves representatives of the greater good who have decided not to check in with leadership in Ukraine. So I'm going to hope that's not what happened, and I hope everyone walks out if it is," he said.

Penn is working on a documentary for Vice about the war in Ukraine. He also met with Zelenskyy last week.
