The Academy Award for Best Actor awarded to Casey Affleck for his performance in Manchester By The Sea continues to be surrounded by a great deal of criticism. The actor was accused of sexual assault on multiple occasions and went on to win the Oscar even though a similar instance occurred with director Nate Parker who got his movie, The Birth of A Nation, boycotted for rape allegations. Many are concerned that Affleck's win shows the lack of consideration for women in society.
