Brie Larson's significantly underwhelmed reaction to Casey Affleck's Oscar win was intentional. “I’ve said all that I need to say about that topic.”The 2016 lead actress Academy Award winner presented the "Manchester by the Sea" star with his lead actor award at last month's ceremony but did not revel in his triumph. Larson, 27, is an advocate for sexual-assault victims and the cause has been dear to her. Affleck, 41, has denied all charges and settled both cases out of court for an undisclosed amount. But the specter of the claims lingered during awards season, and he was vociferously called out by "Fresh Off the Boat" actress Constance Wu and several others in and out of the industry.
