In another apparent consequence of the #MeToo movement, last year's best actor Oscar winner Casey Affleck will not be presenting at or attending the 90th Academy Awards. A film academy spokesperson said they "appreciate the decision to keep the focus on the show and on the great work of this year." When the #MeToo movement exploded in October and the film academy revoked Harvey Weinstein's membership, the spotlight turned back to Affleck and other academy members who have been accused of misconduct. See you at the next Oscars where — and this is true — Casey Affleck will be presenting best actress." Hardly any aspect of the awards season has been unaffected by the #MeToo movement, from who gets nominated to the content of acceptance speeches and red carpet interviews.
