Casey Affleck Oscars Nomination: SLAMMED by Constance Wu!
Casey Affleck was not among the surprising 2017 Oscar nominations.
The actor won Best Actor at the Golden Globe Awards this month and is the strong favorite to take home the same trophy at the Academy Awards for his role in Manchester by the Sea.
But Constance Wu doesn’t care about Affleck’s on-screen performance.
She only cares about his alleged off-screen behavior.
In 2010, Affleck was sued on two separate occasions by women who claimed that he made “uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances” while working on the film I’m Still Here.
One alleged victim was a producer on the documentary, while the other was a cinematographer, who wrote in her lawsuit that Affleck climbed into her bed and groped her as she slept.
Affleck has maintained his innocence and settled both lawsuits out of court the same year they were filed.
But the past incidents have been making new headlines ever since Affleck started receiving awards buzz for his career-defining portrayal in the aforementioned movie.
And Wu – best known for her role on ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat – doesn’t understand why Affleck is receiving critical recognition instead of personal derision.
The actress wrote in a series of angry Tweets this afternoon.
“Men who sexually harass women 4 OSCAR! Bc good acting performance matters more than humanity, human integrity! Bc poor kid rly needs the help!”
She added:
“Boys! BUY ur way out of trouble by settling out of court!Just do a good acting job,thats all that matters!bc Art isn’t about humanity,right.”
Wu also believes that Affleck’s nomination (and likely victory) can be compared to the Presidential election just won by Donald Trump.
On Twitter, she shared “a thing I wrote during an convo w/ @PeterShinkoda about how Casey Affleck’s win will be a nod to Trump’s.”
Wu has played the role of Jessica Huang on Fresh Off the Boat since 2015.
It marks her first series regular role, following appearances in such shows as Torchwood and Covert Affairs.
Her career is only just taking off, yet she clearly thinks this topic is too important to ignore.
“I’ve been counseled not to talk about this for career’s sake,” she wrote online today. “F my career then, I’m a woman & human first. That’s what my craft is built on.”
No matter what you think of her stance here, you have to admire anyone who puts her career on the line for her personal beliefs, don’t you?
Aware that her viewpoint was not going to be popular, and aware that she would receive some negative feedback, Wu took a break from Tweeting for a few hours.
And then she posted the following:
Again, regardless of whether or not you agree with her Casey Affleck stance, you must agree with what Wu is saying here.
That’s a REALLY cute bunny!

Hillary Clinton Shares Inspiring Photo Upon Clinching Presidential Nomination
Love Hillary Clinton or think she’s destined to lead this country into ruin, one thing cannot be denied:
June 7, 2016 will be a date that goes down in history.
That’s what happens when a major political party nominates a woman to be President for the first time in U.S. history.
Prior to speaking at a rallying Brooklyn after she clinched this nomination on Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton recognized her monumental achievement by sharing an inspiring photo on Twitter.
She didn’t focus on policy in it or even take a shot at Donald Trump in it.
Instead, she sent a message to women everywhere with it.
“To every little girl who dreams big: Yes, you can be anything you want – even president. Tonight is for you,” Clinton captioned the photo above.
As of this writing, the Tweet has garnered more than 46,000 likes and has been re-Tweeted more than 28,000 times.
While she celebrated her victory over Bernie Sanders in front of a throng of supporters, though, Clinton also made it clear she wished one person in particular could have been there to celebrate with her.
In another social media post, Clinton remembered her mother, who would have celebrated her 97th birthday over the weekend.
“I wish my mom were here tonight to share this moment. She was my rock from the day I was born until the day she left us,’ Clinton wrote as a caption.
“This past Saturday would have been her 97th birthday – she was born the same day Congress passed the 19th Amendment to give women the right to vote.
“I wish she could have seen this team and your extraordinary conviction – how you never stopped fighting, no matter how tough this election got. How your voices lifted this campaign up in communities all across the country.
“How your investment in the values we share made this moment possible.”
Politics aside, pretty moving stuff, wouldn’t you say?
