Jim Carrey has said the audience at the Oscars was “spineless” for giving Will Smith a standing ovation for his best actor win just minutes after he slapped Chris Rock, and said he was “sickened” by what he saw.

The actor said Smith should have been arrested after he stormed the stage and hit the comedian after he made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
