While everyone was talking about the huge blunder at last night’s Oscars regarding Best Motion Picture – there has also been huge drama over Casey Affleck winning his first Academy Award.
The younger brother of Ben Affleck won Best Actor for his role in Manchester By The Sea, beating Ryan Gosling and Denzel Washington.
The award did not sit well with viewers, as Casey settled two sexual harassment cases that took place around 2010.

Not only did Brie Larson not applaud him when he won the award, celebrities in the audience didn’t look too happy either.
