He can't be in America w/o being arrested so he's not there, there was a standing ovation, particularly I see Meryl Streep standing pretty quick and clapping, and there's a lot of praise in the room for Roman. He's guilty of raping a 13 year old girl, everyone in the room knows it. 

 

??? What's your opinion on this. It's so crazy to watch... likes and comments have been disabled on this video, I'm honestly surprised the official Oscars channel kept it posted. Meryl is honestly idk.. like I just don't really like her anymore.. from the Harvey thing to this, I'm just like... I can't believe it. There's another video of her saying "I'm sad he's in jail" from like 2010. As well as everyone else in this video, Adrian Brody, everyone who keeps working with him, I don't understand how it's not called out more.

eh Maryl and her fellow veteran actresses and actors come from a different generation where women where pretty much sexual toys, especially in the entertainment world, and the men were the hunters and it's all flirting and it's always the women fault, they come from a period where underage marriage where still allowed in many modern countries in the world.. it's a generation that let a 12 years old masturbate with a cross for a movie and nominated her for that role..

I'm not justifying, just explaining my opinion about their behavior on this serious topic.

 

So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy

He won for directing The Pianist, a film about the Holocaust. Polanski himself is a Holocaust survivor. His Mother was murdered at Auschwitz. His father was interned at Mauthausen.

"I had just been visiting my grandmother ... when I received a foretaste of things to come. At first I didn't know what was happening. I simply saw people scattering in all directions. Then I realized why the street had emptied so quickly. Some women were being herded along it by German soldiers. Instead of running away like the rest, I felt compelled to watch.

One older woman at the rear of the column couldn't keep up. A German officer kept prodding her back into line, but she fell down on all fours, ... Suddenly a pistol appeared in the officer's hand. There was a loud bang, and blood came welling out of her back. I ran straight into the nearest building, squeezed into a smelly recess beneath some wooden stairs, and didn't come out for hours. I developed a strange habit: clenching my fists so hard that my palms became permanently calloused. I also woke up one morning to find that I had wet my bed." - Polanski

 

I'm not excusing his behavior, but that is the context in which they awarded him an Oscar, and why Merly would have given him a standing ovation.

The pianist is Amazing and Polanski did and excellent job. His behavior outside his work is another question. He deserved that Oscar. He didn't won the Oscar for best rapist or molester

Polanski's rape case has always been controversial, I think even the girl stood by him and defended him, if I remember correctly?

And with everything he's been through, and his brilliant career, the industry is more forgiving in his case... and I feel the same way about him.

I don't really know what happened with his case, but at the very least he's a talented director - Bryan Singer f*cks kinds AND can't make a movie that's better than... ok... So why did Bohemian Rhapsody take away 3 oscars it absolutely did NOT deserve? The answer is of course THE GAYS, shame on y'all, how do you live with yourselves :neyde:

It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke!

well, to be honest, Bryan Singer didn't even really direct the movie, he started it, but then got fired but due to some rules and laws got the full directing credit

People will keep making excuses for him, Woody Allen, MJ and everyone else who is talented :ohwell: while at the same time crucifying women like Gaga and Selena Gomez and holding them to the same level of accountability as pedophiles

No, she didn’t. She said she was raped orally, vaginally, and anally, and she said no and she wanted to go home all along the way. To this day, she sticks by her accusations.

He has been accused of rape by four other underaged girls, one as young as ten years old.

just because you knew doesn't mean Rami knew, I didn't know, I had no idea who he was. I am sick of this crucifying anyone for even being in the same room as an accused abuser.

Also, taking down peoples work, firing them or whatever after being accused but not proven guilty is also beyond comprehension. If the accusations turn out to be false, these people have lost their career etc because someone made a false accusation. I'm not saying this is true for everyone but we should not project our opinions of accusations that we do not know every detail or fact about and has not gone through court and ruin peoples lives because society jumps to conclusions and ignore facts.

Gross, especially knowing that he was wanted in the U.S for rape. They give him an Oscar and a standing ovation.
