This may not surprise you: Casey Affleck will NOT be presenting at the Oscars.
And you don't need to be a genius to figure out why.
The 42-year-old informed the academy of that he is skipping out on the biggest night in Hollywood amid sexual misconduct allegations.
Casey won the Best Actor statue for his work in Manchester By the Sea in 2017, and it's customary for the past winner to present an award the following year.
But when it came out that he has been accused of sexual misconduct a lot of people were hoping he would be stripped of the award.
Well, this may make them happy.
Sources say Casey does not want his presence to distract from the women nominated in the Best Actress category in what has been a banner year for the Time's Up and Me Too campaign.
Brie Larson, who presented his award last year refused to applaud for him when he walked on stage to get his statue…
And we bet she's just one of the women applauding now.
