Tradition was broken last night at the Academy Awards when Casey Affleck declined to present the Best Actress category and was replaced by the female duo of Oscar-winners, Jennifer Lawrence and Jodie Foster.
One A list actor was furious about change, lamenting Hollywood and the Academy for pressuring Casey to stand down and trying to present a “feminist agenda”.
‘Now they’re all fucking feminist heros,’ a source quotes the actor as saying. ‘They were the fucking people that knew about that bastard [Weinstein] and still supported him’
So, tell me, Gossipers:
Who is our angry actor?
Mel Gibson

It definitely does ring hollow, but I like that change is in the air, even if it is mainly due to outside pressure…

Exactly. Forget the circumstances. Forget whether it’s heartfelt. Just appreciate that it’s actually happening. It’s an attitude that myself and many women in this industry have because we’ve needed this for so long.

Ben Affleck. I guess he’s defending his brother, but he’s kinda a real piece of shit.

I seriously think this might be Gary Oldman. He already went on an anti-liberal rant when his movie The Contender was released, where he fired off about a “liberal agenda” from the studio.

I don’t believe for one bloody second Gary is a right winger, not with having seen Nil By Mouth.
