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 Academy’s values of respect for human dignity.
Encourage, but not require.
Got it.
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.
Meryl Streep is going to flip her wig. Roman is one of her Pals! They go way back.
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.
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!
Didn’t they just honor Polanski at the Awards a few years ago?
What specifically changed regarding Polanski since then?
Roman Polanski drugged and raped a child... he normally receivea standing ovations from Hollywood ‘elites’ at gatherings of the creepy ones.
Who knows... maybe the world is changing.
Will the Pulitzer board condemn Walter Duranty next?
So what is that supposed to accomplish? Nothing.
Makes me puke. Look how quick they are on lies like the “Duke Lacrosse” case, involving mere “white boys” with no political power. And yet when real rapists (appear to appear) in their own ranks - Charlie Rose now with 27 accusers - decades pass...
“It’s about time with Roman Polanski.”
Absolutely. I think hell just froze over.
And, Meryl Streep still disgusts me.
Seriously! Hollyweird lauded him for years! Roman be like, “Huh? Wha?”
And this is suppose to worry them?????
