4. Roman Polanski
Actor Roman Polanski was banned from the Oscars at the same time as his colleague Bill Cosby. The decision was taken as a consequence of the new code of conduct.
The star was accused of inappropriate intimate behavior many years before the Academy took action. This thing made a lot of people question why the actor was still a member for such a long period of time if he was actually guilty?
In 1997, the actor fled to France after he pleaded guilty to having intimate relations with a 13-year-old girl. Even though this was a popular topic all over the media, he even won the award for the best director for the movie “The Pianist” in 2003.
