4 Stars Who Weren't Here For Casey Affleck's Best Actor Win

Feb 28 2017 - 7:30am

Casey Affleck [1] took home the best actor award at the Oscars [2] on Sunday, but not everyone seemed to be in a celebratory mood over the Manchester by the Sea star's win. Casey has been at the center of disturbing sexual assault allegations [3] that made headlines late last year, and while he's still managed to rack up awards and nominations for his role in the film, the reported incidents haven't exactly helped the actor in the eyes of some of his Hollywood peers.

Denzel Washington

Denzel, who was also nominated in the category, looked unfazed (and teary-eyed) as Casey mentioned him in his speech.

Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy was spotted pretending to sleep [6] with her head on John Legend [7]'s shoulder during Casey's speech.

B.J. Novak

The Office star tweeted this after the best picture flub [8] at the end of the night.

Brie Larson

As Casey accepted the Oscar, presenter Brie Larson — an outspoken advocate for sexual abuse victims — seemed visibly thrown; she returned Casey's hug as he approached the stage but didn't clap or smile as he spoke to the crowd.
