Roman Polanski is suing the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences after being kicked out of the organisation.

 

The Pianist director was expelled from the Oscars body along with Bill Cosby in May last year.

 

A lawyer for the fugitive filmmaker said he was expelled "without warning" and with no chance to respond.

 

The Academy later said in a statement its removal of the Oscar winner was "fair" and it will not reverse the decision.

Sues Oscar, that's only gonna be like pouring gasoline on the fire. He's had an extraordinary life, made many good films, but unfortunately he made that mistake.

A mistake?

 

Hardly a mistake when he's chosen to flee rather than accept appropriate punishment.

 

A child rapist - scum, who thinks he's above the law.

Did you interview him and get a quote as to what he was "thinking"? If not, your statement is based on mindreading or another mystic power.
