Folks - finally, they did it!!!
The Oscar Academy Announced Today that they will exclude Roman Polanski!
(And they will exclude Bill Cosby as well!)
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has expelled actor Bill Cosby and director Roman Polanski from its membership.
A statement from the organisation behind the Oscars said: "The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' board of governors met on Tuesday night (May 1) and has voted to expel actor Bill Cosby and director Roman Polanski from its membership in accordance with the organisation's standards of conduct.
"The board continues to encourage ethical standards that require members to uphold the Academy's values of respect for human dignity."
Cosby was last week convicted of sexual assault, and Polanski remains a fugitive after fleeing the US in 1978 after pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a teenager.
The Academy had expelled film producer Harvey Weinstein in October, following numerous allegations of sexual misconduct.
