James Franco is lying low. Facing sexual abuse accusations from multiple women, the actor skipped the Critics’ Choice Awards Thursday night, where he won a Best Actor accolade for his work in “The Disaster Artist.”His award was not presented in the televised ceremony, but in an online-only segment prior to the main event in Santa Monica, California. After Franco was spotted at Sunday’s Golden Globes wearing a Time’s Up pin ― for the campaign aimed at combating sexual misconduct following the #MeToo movement ― women called him out over social media for apparent hypocrisy. He won a Best Actor award for the same film at the Globes. In a tweet, actress Violet Paley said Franco once attempted to force her to perform oral sex in a car.
