Jennifer Lawrence And Jodie Foster Replace Casey Affleck As Oscars Best Actress Presenters

Taking place tonight (March 4, 2018) is one of the biggest award events of the year, as stars of the entertainment industry come together for the 90th Oscars ceremony. It's one of the most open Academy Awards in recent memory, with a slew of incredibly talented performers, cast and crew working to put together some really brilliant movies. Along with all of the love for the industry however will likely come further commentary and highlighting of the Hollywood sexual misconduct scandal, which shot into the spotlight just last year.

Allegations levelled against Harvey Weinstein seemed to open the floodgates in Hollywood, as more victims of sexual harassment and assault stepped forward to tell their truths. A number of high profile names were thrown into the mix, with the winner of 2017's Oscar for Best Actor, Casey Affleck, accused by crew members from 2010 flick 'I'm Still Here' of sexual harassment.

The change in presenters is something that's been lauded online, with those who were outraged at Affleck's role now happy with the pair of successful women being invited to present. It's a nod to the #TimesUp and the #MeToo movements that have made such a big name for themselves in recent months, backing up those who say they have been victimised in Hollywood and fighting for justice.
