The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization that bestows the Oscars, announced Thursday that it has voted to expel two prominent members convicted of sexual offenses, Bill Cosby and Roman Polanski, from its membership. In Polanski’s case, the expulsion comes more than 40 years after he was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl and 15 years after he won a best director Oscar.
