1:00Now PlayingJim Carrey has slammed Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock at Sunday night's Academy Awards - and has taken aim at the "spineless" audience of A-listers who subsequently gave the actor a standing ovation.
"I was sickened. I was sickened by the standing ovation," Carrey told Gayle King in a "CBS Mornings" interview that aired Tuesday.
Smith scooped the Best Actor Oscar for his role in "King Richard" just minutes after assaulting Rock, with the crowd getting out of their seats to cheer for the star.
"Hollywood is just spineless en masse and it really felt like this is a really clear indication that we aren't the cool club anymore," Carrey, 60, told King of the audience's warm reception for Smith.
The "Dumb and Dumber" star then said Smith should have been arrested and sued over the act.
