Brie Larson’s subtle disapproval when handing Casey Affleck the Oscar for Best Actor didn’t go unnoticed by the audience and viewers last month.
The actress and advocate for sexual abuse victims didn’t react with the same warmth and enthusiasm as most presenters on awards nights. Larson instead responded with what can best be described as a silent protest to Casey’s win after sexual harassment allegations were made against him in 2010.
Now, the 27-year-old has addressed her decision to not clap for the actor, speaking to Vanity Fair at the Hollywood premiere of Kong: Skull Island on Wednesday.

Good job, Ms. Larson.
Hopefully Affleck has learned from his past failings and is a far better person now.
And hopefully next time Brie Larson will learn not to engage in slander until allegations are actually proven.
True that.
I think she'd need to have said a bit more than what she actually did for this to be considered slander.
