TV star Bill Cosby and film director Roman Polanski were on Thursday expelled from the United States Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
According to the academy, which runs the Oscars, this was done in accordance with its standards of conduct.
Cosby was convicted of sexual assault last in April, while Oscar-winning director Polanski admitted statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl in 1977.
In 2017 producer Harvey Weinstein was kicked out on the back of many allegations of sexual assault.
Meanwhile, neither Cosby nor Polanski have publicly reacted to their expulsion.
