France’s César film awards has banned anyone being investigated for sex crimes from attending.
, following on from his initial conviction of rape and sexual assault at his first trial in New York in 2020.
“Out of respect for the victims… it has been decided not to highlight people who may have been implicated by the judiciary in acts of violence,” the awards ceremony said in a statement, noting that this included “presumed” victims in cases under investigation. The rule change also applies to anyone who has been convicted of such an offence in the past.
The awards are yet to vote on whether to make a permanent change that bans people under investigation from being nominated entirely, with a decision due in the coming weeks, but it is not the first time they’ve taken a hard stance on abuse allegations. In 2017, controversial director Roman Polanski stepped down from presiding over the César awards after 61,000 people signed a petition calling on the public to boycott the event.
In the same year, the Academy nominated Mel Gibson for a Best Director award after he was caught on tape in a drunken anti-Semitic rant in 2006 and later pled no contest to misdemeanour battery in 2011 for hitting his ex-girlfriend repeatedly in the face. Director Woody Allen has also been repeatedly accused of sexually abusing his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow when she was seven years old in 1992, but remains largely revered in Hollywood.
