(11 Oct 2017) FILM ACADEMY TO HOLD SPECIAL MEETING TO DISCUSS WEINSTEIN ALLEGATIONS
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Wednesday (11OCT2017) that its Board of Governors will hold a special meeting Saturday to discuss the allegations ``and any actions warranted by the academy.''
Weinstein has long been a major figure at the Academy Awards, where his films have regularly won Oscars, including five best picture-winners. Weinstein personally shared in the best-picture Oscar for ``Shakespeare in Love.'' The film academy called Weinstein's alleged conduct ``repugnant'' and ``antithetical to the high standards of the Academy and the creative community it represents.''
The ongoing fallout poses potentially severe legal issues for the companies involved. The Weinstein Co., which fired its co-chairman on Sunday, has moved to continue forward with plans to change its name. In a statement Tuesday night, the Weinstein Co. board of directors strongly denied that it knew about Weinstein's behavior.
