The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said today that its board of governors has voted to expel Bill Cosby and director Roman Polanski from its membership. The vote came during a meeting Tuesday night and was “in accordance with the organization’s Standards of Conduct,” the Academy said in announcing the news Thursday. “The Board continues to encourage ethical standards that require members to uphold the Academy’s values of respect for human dignity,” it said in a statement. The act of kicking a member out of the Academy is rare, but the AMPAS board in October did vote to expel Harvey Weinstein after a special emergency meeting in October, following bombshell reports the New York Times and New Yorker about decades of alleged sexual harassment and abuse. Cosby was found guilty April 26 in Pennsylvania on three counts of aggravated indecent assault against former Temple University Andrea Constand in 2004. He awaits sentencing and faces up to 30 years … [Read more...] about Movie Academy Expels Bill Cosby And Roman Polanski

Pondering last weekend’s vibrant, three-day “Regeneration Summit” at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures —it was a celebration keyed to the museum’s Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898-1971 exhibit—I was struck by a wild fantasy. In the far future—I mean way down the line , even after my brand new driver’s license expires—maybe museum members, some of them at least, will be given an Oscar vote. To be clear, nobody that I know of is talking about this. The current management of both the museum and the Academy could rightly dismiss the idea as hare-brained. But time is a relentless beast. Let it gnaw for a while on the legs of those entwined institutions, and the enfranchisement of paying museum members might begin to look like an option. It would certainly be slick way to support the museum while weaning the Oscars from their dependence on a diminishing broadcast audience—that is, the hoi polloi. What we learned, I think, from the Regeneration Summit is that the … [Read more...] about Weird Thought: Will Some Museum Members Someday Get An Oscar Vote?

Having been a member of the Academy for several decades, I find myself suddenly embarrassed to admit it. The Academy made a grand, if puzzling, announcement last month, but now has decided to disavow it. Its board of governors, having watched Academy CEO Dawn Hudson crawl out on a limb, at this week’s board meeting decided to saw it off. The issue, of course, focuses on the Academy’s decision to award a new Oscar to this year’s “most popular” film — this in addition to its regular Oscar winner. Upon reading this announcement, all of us quickly inquired about the criteria for “popular.” The Academy has an “awards” committee to make exactly those decisions. Guess what: The committee forgot to do it. So did the governors. This is doubly ironic in that, at the very first Oscar show in 1929, the award was divided between a popular movie, Wings , and an art movie, Sunrise . The governors apparently had figured it all out 90 years ago. This year seemed a natural moment … [Read more...] about Peter Bart: Academy Pushed The Envelope Too Far, Scratches Oscar Popularity Contest

Continuing its powerhouse run at worldwide turnstiles, Shah Rukh Khan espionage actioner Pathaan has topped the global box office century mark, getting there in 12 days on Sunday and now with $103.6M through Monday. It is the first Bollywood movie to the $100M milestone without a China release. The split sits at 526 gross crore ($64.2M) in India and $39.4M from overseas markets through Monday. Already, the Siddharth Anand-directed pic is the biggest Bollywood movie ever globally in the original Hindi language. This is where it gets slightly confusing in terms of the records posted. Aamir Khan-starrers Dangal and Secret Superstar , both Bollywood titles, remain ahead of Pathaan on a worldwide basis, but that includes over $100M each from China where the movies were dubbed for local audiences. Similarly, Bajrangi Bhaijaan , which stars Salman Khan who also appears in Pathaan , is still ahead globally having had a dubbed China release. There is no word yet on a … [Read more...] about Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan’ Tops $100M At Global Box Office
