Oscars et questions éthiques

Les dernière révélations de Dylan Farrow au sujet de son beau-père Woody Allen (qui a nié les faits allégués)suscitent un questionnement sur les critères à considérer lors des choix pour la remise des différents prix. Doit-on considérer des impératifs moraux.

 "Ms. Farrow challenged actors like Cate Blanchett and Diane Keaton to justify their decisions to work with him, as both have, or to celebrate him, as Ms. Keaton did at the Golden Globes in January, when Mr. Allen received a lifetime achievement award.

Her torment, Ms. Farrow wrote, “was made worse by Hollywood,” adding that “all but a precious few (my heroes) turned a blind eye.”

 The letter suggests a callous indifference by film professionals now celebrating their accomplishments in a series of ceremonies leading up to the March 2 Academy Awards. And it lands as Mr. Allen’s film “Blue Jasmine” enters the Oscar balloting that begins Friday. He is nominated for best original screenplay, and Ms. Blanchett, the film’s star, figures on many lists as the favorite for best actress honors.
