When Oscars presenter Brie Larson opened the envelope for best actor and revealed that controversial nominee Casey Affleck [2] had won for his work in Manchester by the Sea, she didn't look pleased. Serious allegations of sexual harassment made against the 41-year-old actor by two women in 2010 came back to haunt him in the midst of his Oscars campaign, and the 2016 best actress winner [3] (who won for playing a sexual assault survivor in Room) appeared to side with the small part of Hollywood who didn't support the Academy's choice to nominate him. Although a few other celebrities in the audience also reacted with disinterest [4] to the actor's win, Brie's choice to not clap for Casey while most of the room gave him a standing ovation spoke volumes.

While on the red carpet at Kong: Skull Island [6]'s Hollywood premiere on Wednesday, she confirmed to Vanity Fair [7] that her actions were intentional. "I think that whatever it was that I did on stage kind of spoke for itself," she explained. "I've said all that I need to say about that topic." It's not exactly the scathing criticism that Fresh Off the Boat actress Constance Wu tweeted [8] about Casey, but given Brie's history as an advocate for sexual assault survivors [9], her opinion seems pretty clear.
