After resigning, he is no longer eligible to participate in Oscar voting, but can still be nominated, attend the ceremony and retain the Oscar statuette he has won. He later said in a statement: “I have directly responded to the warnings of the Academy’s disciplinary hearing, and I fully accept the consequences of my actions. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards are appalling, painful and Unforgivable. I have hurt so many people, including Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, and all those present, and the global audience. I have failed the trust of the Academy. I have seized The opportunity for the other nominees and winners to celebrate their extraordinary work. It breaks my heart.” “I want to put the spotlight back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and bring the Academy back to its role in supporting the film. Incredible work done creatively and artistically. As such, I am resigning from my membership of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
