Academy Awards co-hosts Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes said on Wednesday (March 30) they were sickened by best actor winner Will Smith's slap of presenter Chris Rock at Sunday night's ceremony.

During the live Oscars telecast, Smith strode up to the stage after Rock made a joke about the appearance of Smith's wife, then smacked the comedian's face.
