Film directer and producer Cameron Bossert has started a petition to bar Casey Affleck from the upcoming Academy Awards over the sexual harassment accusations he has faced in the past.
Last year Affleck faced multiple accusations of sexual harassment, but went on to attend the prestigious awards show and even won the Oscar for best actor for his role in “Manchester By The Sea.” Although the actor won’t be up for any awards this year, Bossert is hoping his petition will lead to Affleck being banned from the ceremony.
On the change.org site set up for the petition, Bossert notes that his effort to ban Affleck comes “in light of the revelations that Harvey Weinstein has been sexually harassing and assaulting women for decades.” While the Academy stripped Weinstein of his membership, it has taken no action when it comes to Affleck.
