Sean Penn Slammed The Oscars For ‘Extraordinary Cowardice’
“The Academy have exercised really extraordinary cowardice when it comes to being part of the bigger world of expression, and in fact, have largely been part of limiting the imagination and very limiting of different cultural expressions,” Penn said at a press conference, as he looked exhausted holding the microphone in one hand and resting the other against his face.
Penn continued his rambling, stating that ceremonies like the Oscars should best be seen as “television shows first” rather than measures of artistic value.
