addressed Will Smith’s 10-year ban from Academy events on Monday night, joking that he didn’t think the punishment was all that bad.“When I first read the headline, I thought this was the worst punishment ever.

I was like, ’10 years? The Oscars, you’re ridiculous!’ ” he said. “But then I got into the details and I realized that he gets to keep his Oscar and he can still win Oscars, even though he’s banned.

So in many ways, this isn’t a punishment. This is a favor.”He continued, “Will Smith doesn’t have to go to the ceremony. He doesn’t have to get dressed up.

He doesn’t have to sit through a bunch of boring awards that he doesn’t care about. He doesn’t have to pretend to be happy when he loses.
