LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Movie director Roman Polanski on Tuesday lost a court bid to be reinstated to membership of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Los Angeles City News Service reported.
Polanski, 87, who won an Oscar in 2003, was expelled by the Academy in May 2018 because of a long-standing criminal case involving unlawful sex with a minor in 1977.
