Hollywood cancelling Oscars over sexual misconduct

After the Harvey Weinstein sex "mistakes" whereby he allegedly raped several women, exposed himself to dozens more, and basically acted as a douche bag, many people thought the Hollywood scandals would be ended at that point.

But it wasn't long when other women came forward who had stayed in the shadows for years, and they spoke out about the sexual misconduct of Ben Affleck, Dustin Hoffman, Matt Taibbi, Kevin Spacey, Bill O'Reilly, Mark Halperin, Chris Savino, James Toback (over 200 women came forward on him), John Besh, Andy Dick, Jeremy Piven and most recently, Brett Ratner.

Many of these alleged pigs have been fired from their current jobs and some may go on trial for illegal sexual misconduct.

In light of all the controversy, the Board of Governors of the Academy: President John Bailey, First Vice President Lois Burwell, Vice President Kathleen Kennedy, another Vice President Michael Tronick, yet another Vice President Nancy Utley, Treasurer Jim Gianopulos, Secretary David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson--I forgot what I was going to say. . . oh yeah, the board of Governors of the Academy Awards has decided to cancel the awards this year.

The reason the Board of Governors gave is that it appears there would be no male available to accept an Oscar this year as the actors will either be dealing with litigation, or had been fired from their role in whatever movie they were in.

And while President Trump was absolutely wrong and inappropriate regarding what he said about women, that isn't the same thing as rape, harassment or other form of sexual misconduct.

The Academy apologizes for any inconvenience to the actresses and the three innocent actors who thrive on praise.

Apparently, there is only one male actor who has never acted sexually inappropriate or engaged in sexual misconduct: Gabby Hayes.
