A judge has denied Roman Polanski’s request to restore his membership in the organization that bestows the Academy Awards two years after he was expelled from it for raping a minor

A judge on Tuesday denied Roman Polanski’s request to restore his membership in the organization that bestows the Academy Awards two years after he was expelled from it for raping a minor.

A year earlier, the academy made the rare move of expelling Polanski and Bill Cosby, months after ending the membership of disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mary Strobel on Tuesday ruled that the academy had a right to expel Polanski, afforded him a fair hearing and gave him sufficient notice of his expulsion. She adopted a tentative ruling that she had issued earlier on Tuesday as her final order.

“Roman’s membership in the academy is pretty worthless and we would not waste legal fees for an appeal for no real purpose,” Braun said in an email Tuesday to The Associated Press. “Roman is one of the greatest directors in movie history. His art will survive long after the academy is a forgotten relic.”

He had been an academy member for nearly 50 years at the time of his expulsion, and his films had been nominated for 28 Oscars.

Good. Этому человеку место за решеткой! Те, кто снимаются в его фильмах, такие же преступники, как и сам Полански. И все, кто продвигают его фильмы, помогают насильнику

Oscar winner Roman Polanski loses his bid for Academy reinstatementPolanski, 87, sued the Academy in 2019 seeking reinstatement on the grounds that his expulsion was 'improper' and 'invalid,' and that he had not been notified ahead of time of the move to expel. He still has a hairline, he shouldnt be so greedy. MeToo thing must be behind the rejection. Hollywood types love those child rapists & see nothing wrong with the behavior. Many journalists are the same. The fact that he’s living free in France is improper - he belongs in a prison cell. 🤬

Roman Polanski Denied Request to be Reinstated as a Member of the AcademyOn Tuesday, a judge denied the request of convicted child rapist Roman Polanski to be reinstated to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, ruling that the academy had a right to expel him in 2018. Polanski sued the Academy in April 2019, claiming that he had been thrown out without any warning and without a fair process. Honestly, I’m genuinely stunned that this awful predator, who has been accused of rape by at least six women (most recently in 2019), had the audacity to sue the Academy for kicking him out decades after they should have. Good. Charge him for the waste of the public dime.
