So, first they honor him, and then they expel him. I also read that Polanski is going to sue over this. I hope so.

And, yes, the Academy's yearly giveaway show is now just a sidebar to the awful red-carpet crap.Sharon Bosartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-47541123335298288472018-05-06T19:47:32.420-04:002018-05-06T19:47:32.420-04:00I say, Fuck the Academy and those "award show...I say, Fuck the Academy and those "award shows" that are shabby red carpet "events" publicizing jewlery and clothes few people could afford or would seen dead in - in the event they could afford them. The Academy Awards are not about the artistic value of film -- Around the World in 80 Days? Shakespeare in Love? Get rid of the glamourous gowns, the "protest" gowns, the envelopes . . . the good movies will survive without them. No opinion on Cosby because I don't even see how you can put him in the same sentence with Polanski. your adoring fan, kikikikinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-36970089573220219572018-05-06T16:21:26.706-04:002018-05-06T16:21:26.706-04:00Why expel anyone???

I mean, these predators have been publicly humiliated already and some, like Cosby, have been found guilty in a courtroom and others will undoubtedly be charged. They're being punished. Hollywood is the last place that should be self-righteous about anything. Yes, hypocritical.Vanessanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-22975260554407564992018-05-06T14:18:40.709-04:002018-05-06T14:18:40.709-04:00Smart man! Very wise.Smart man!
