The 94th Oscars were intended to be a celebration of the many individuals in the community who accomplished tremendous work this past year; yet, those moments were swamped by the disrespectful behaviour by Mr. Smith on stage

On our telecast, we failed to address the problem. We apologise.

My behaviour at the 94th Academy Awards was startling, terrible, and unforgivable.

Chris, his family, many of my personal friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and worldwide audiences at home are on the list. I broke the Academy's confidence
