Actor Casey Affleck was also singled out for sexual harassment . According to reports , during the filming of the film '' I 'm Still Here '' , Affleck was accused of sexually harassing Amanda White and Magdalena Gorka , producer and director of photography of the film respectively . Both parties reached an out-of-court settlement in 2010 . Actress Brie Larson , who having won a year earlier the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards , had to give the award to Affleck as Best Actor , did not applaud when the actor went on stage to collect the award . Later she would say that , " whatever it was that I did onstage kind of spoke for itself " . In January 2018 , Affleck declared that he would not present the Academy Award for Best Actress at the 90th Academy Awards ceremony , the reason being credited to not wanting to be the subject of attention at a time of the Me Too movement
