Casey Affleck pulls out of presenting at the Upcoming Oscars
Casey Affleck is trending on twitter because of his decision to withdraw from presenting the Best Actress Award at the upcoming Oscars.
I’ve heard that Affleck did not want to become a distraction from the focus that should be on the performances of the actresses in the category and that is why he made the proactive move. He was in a no-win situation, with all the attention surrounding the #MeToo movement. The specter of Affleck presenting would have created controversy.-Deadline
What Twitter is Saying:
Casey Affleck won't present the Best Actress award because he has to stay at least 500 feet away from most of the nominees, probably.
