Casey Affleck will not award the 2018 Oscars due to harassment
The 2018 Oscars will break one of the fundamental traditions of the American Film Academy, which assumes that winners in acting categories are announced by last year's laureates. As reported by The Wrap, Casey Affleck, who won an Oscar in 2017 for her leading role in the drama "Manchester by the Sea", will be deprived of this privilege. The reason is the actor's unwillingness to attract increased attention to his person due to the sexual harassment scandal. Moreover, he decided not to appear at the ceremony. Recall that in 2010 he was named a defendant in a lawsuit filed by the producer of the movie "I'm Still Here" Amanda White. She accused Casey Affleck, who served as director, in repeated and "unwanted sexual innuendo". There was no trial, as the parties were able to agree. This case was actively discussed in the press in 2017, when the movement against sexual harassment, under the motto #MeToo, gained popularity.
