Soon the pedophiles.
But not Harvey Weinstein or Kevin Spacey?
How many years did it take them to Decide to expel Roman?
Polanski hasn’t voted in decades I’m guessing. This means nothing really.
But are they going to rescind the Academy Awards given to Roman Polanski?
The Board continues to encourage ethical standards that require members to uphold the Academys values of respect for human dignity.
Encourage, but not require.
Got it.
I don’t think that’s allowed.
Strange. Obviously, their policy or consensus was to wait until someone is actually convicted. So that makes sense re Cosby. But then someone in the back of the room mentioned that Polanski was convicted of raping a child in every orifice he could find, 30 years ago.
Whoops.
They have feted him a zillion times since them.
NOW WE GIVE A SHOOT. Before, all that was A-ok, just no dead girls or live boys, people, we run a classy industry here.
But not Harvey Weinstein or Kevin Spacey?
Good question.
Meryl Streep is going to flip her wig. Roman is one of her Pals! They go way back.
More than a decade.
It seems they only pretend to care now that the Times Up and Me Too movements are getting so much attention. The fact that they took that long to expel Polanski proves they are all hypocrites.
It just goes to show that they did not want to eject Polanski but felt they had to do it in order to avoid being charged with hypocrisy when they ejected Cosby.
Wake me when they kick out Woody Allen.
It just goes to show that they did not want to eject Polanski but felt they had to do it in order to avoid being charged with hypocrisy when they ejected Cosby not hypocrisy but racism.
Does this mean that there won’t be a Leonard Part 7?
Boy!
You can’t sneak anything by these people!
Don’t even try!
Polanski drugged and raped a 13 year old girl in 1977 and then ran off to Europe to avoid prison in the US.
Then BAM! Just like that, only 41 years later, he gets tossed out of The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
These people are not to be trifled with!
Yep. They only care when it looks bad if they dont.
