The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences expelled Harvey Weinstein from its ranks. On that day The Academy's 54-member board of governors held an emergency meeting at the organization's Beverly Hills headquarters and voted to strip away Weinstein's lifetime membership. Following the meeting, the Academy issued a statement saying the board had voted "to immediately expel him from the Academy. We do so not simply to separate ourselves from someone who does not merit the respect of his colleagues but also to send a message that the era of willful ignorance and shameful complicity in sexually predatory behavior and workplace harassment in our industry is over.".
