奧斯卡將考斯比和波蘭斯基除名

The group that hands out Oscars for excellence in the movies expelled actor-comedian Bill Cosby and director Roman Polanski on Thursday because of cases of sexual assault.

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences issued a statement saying its board of governors "continues to encourage ethical standards that require members to uphold the Academy's values of respect for human dignity."

The academy adopted a new code of standards in December following accusations of sexual harassment and physical abuse by producer Harvey Weinstein — booted from the academy in October.

The code says the academy is no place for "people who abuse their status, power, or influence in a manner that violates standards of decency."

Cosby, who is known more for television than films, was convicted last week for drugging and sexually abusing former Temple University women's basketball team manager Andrea Constand in 2004.

Polanski won a Best Director Oscar for 2002's The Pianist. He is accused of statutory rape for allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old girl in Los Angeles in 1977.

Polanski fled the United States the following year to avoid possible prosecution.頒發奧斯卡獎的機構星期四由於性侵案件將喜劇演員比爾·考斯比和導演羅曼·波蘭斯基除名。

美國電影藝術與科學學會發表聲明說，該學會理事會“繼續支持推動要求其成員堅持該協會尊重人類尊嚴的倫理道德標準。”

在多人譴責製片人哈維·韋恩斯坦進行性騷擾和身體虐待之後，該學會去年12月採納了新的規範標準。哈維·韋恩斯坦去年10月被逐出該學會。

新的規範表示，該學會不接受“濫用身份、權力或影響力而侵犯尊嚴標準”的人。

考斯比在電視界比電影界的名望更高，上週他因2004年下藥並性侵前坦普大學女子籃球隊經理安德莉亞·康斯坦德而被判有罪。

波蘭斯基2002年因《鋼琴師》一片獲得最佳導演獎。他被控1977年在洛杉磯和一名13歲的女孩發生性關係而被控強姦等罪名。波蘭斯基第二年逃離美國以逃避可能的起訴。
