It has not been a slow news week. So I do not know the reason for the recent Woody Allen coverage. The same accusations were leveled 22 years ago. So what is the "new"s here? Nothing has changed. Woody Allen is a creep. This is nothing new either. Watch Manhattan again. Allen obviously puts a lot of himself into his movies. If Allen was nice and normal and, well, boring, he probably would not have produced one of the most voluminous and creative oeuvres in the history of the arts. Anyone who has spent some time in family court would realize that wild, perhaps false, accusations are typical, and these wounds never heal. It also took Farrow 12 years to figure out the "real" Woody Allen. Kids are also easy to brainwash, which is why religion tries to start them early on the "right" path.
Some say this has the potential to cost Cate Blanchett the win for Best Actress. Ludicrous. The Academy voters are (mostly) the same ones who rewarded Roman Polanski a few years ago. In this case, the "villain" would not be receiving the award. In addition there is not a strong second choice, as Blanchett has pretty much swept the awards season.
