From Nate Parker To Mel Gibson, Hollywood's Sliding Scale Of Justice

... "What you don't want is people playing judge, jury and executioner on Twitter," Sopori says. Stan Goldman, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, believes the internet makes the public less likely to let go of old cases. "There's a reason the law has statues of limitations. We don't want somebody's past continuing to haunt them," says Goldman. "But maybe time should not heal all wounds. Our crimes should, perhaps, follow us. But there should be some basis for it.". So how much does any of this influence the average academy voter? Bruce Feldman, a former awards strategist and academy member, says he struggles with these questions every year. "It's not just the high-profile public cases of misbehavior that might affect an individual's vote," says Feldman. "There's also all the people we work with in this industry, many of whom treat others very badly on a daily basis, whose transgressions aren't reported in the press. Academy members aren't robots. We're human, with the same feelings and imperfections as everyone. Personally, I try very hard to base my vote purely on artistic merit. Oscars are awarded for achievement, not on whether you're a saint or a scoundrel.". ...

Hollywood Forgave Mel Gibson Too Quickly

... for the best motion picture Oscar is inherently perverse. The film is based on an internal contradiction that is so fundamental from a human perspective that the aversion I felt toward watching it was translated into an even stronger aversion when I eventually did view it. Gibson’s film tells the true story of Desmond T. Doss (British actor Andrew Garfield, who has also been nominated for an Academy Award), who insists on enlisting in the U. S. Army during World War II even though he is a pacifist and refuses to touch a weapon. The first, most effective part of the film depicts his struggle to overcome the obstacles the army puts in his way, and to translate his pacifist positions into becoming someone who saves human lives by being a military medic. However, the second half of the film – which takes place during the battle against the Japanese in Okinawa, in which Doss' actions earned him the Medal of Honor – provides Gibson with the opportunity to place his pacifist protagonist at the center of a pornographic orgy of carnage.

Mel Gibson Sells Home Lived In By Ex Oksana For Less Than He'd Hoped

... small wood-clad library with unusual stained glass windows. She allegedly had been asking for $100 k a month as the two fought over child support for six-year-old Lucia. However, they finally struck a deal for the smaller increase, with Oksana also agreeing to move out of Mel's rental home. She is said to be renting a place in Malibu. Originally Mel had agreed to pay Oksana $15 million to settle child support and alleged domestic dispute cases, but that hinged on her keeping recordings of him secret. Stylish details: Wood accents and intricate stained glass elements also feature prominently. Cook up a storm: The large kitchen features plentiful food prep space and a giant island. However, after signing the deal, Oksana then released the tapes - in which Gibson can be heard using racist language and threatening to beat his then-girlfriend - at which point her settlement was drastically reduced. Oksana then spoke about Mel on The Howard Stern show in 2013, after which The Californian Court of Appeal are understood to have denied her the remaining $500,000 of the then already reduced $750,000 payment. The 60-year-old ...

Why Mel Gibson Directing A ‘suicide Squad’ Sequel Wouldn’t Be So Surprising

... GIBSON wasn’t insulting superhero films last year as much as he was auditioning to land one. Last fall at the Venice Film Festival, as the director was promoting his Oscar-nominated film “Hacksaw Ridge,” Gibson slammed Warner Bros./DC’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” as “a piece of [expletive]” and added, for good measure , that “real superheroes didn’t wear Spandex.” His strong words to Deadline  stirred headlines — especially given the critical drubbing and below-expectations box office that “Batman v Superman” had drawn — and they take on a new light now, as he is shortlisted for WB/DC’s “Suicide Squad” sequel, according to the trades. [ ‘Hacksaw Ridge’ celebrates a pacifist in the midst of blood and gore ]. Yet his latter statement must be taken in context: Gibson was selling a ...
