Good article.

It could be argued that the Academy Awards are supposed to be judging people on their work, and not their personal lives.

BUT, to ignore something that sick, nonconsentual, and illegal just because it's "in his past" does not make the even go away. They were still applauding a man that raped a child. I equate it with giving John Wayne Gacy an art award for his clown paintings done in prison.
