Bohemian Rhapsody controversy

Before the nominees were announced on January 25, 2019, the awards generated headlines when GLAAD announced that Bohemian Rhapsody, the 2018 biopic of Freddie Mercury and Queen which had, at that point, been nominated for several Academy Awards including Best Picture, was being withdrawn from consideration because of sexual misconduct allegations made against its director Bryan Singer. GLAAD issued a statement explaining that it was a "difficult decision" but added that "This week's story in The Atlantic documenting unspeakable harms endured by young men and teenage boys brought to light a reality that cannot be ignored or even tacitly rewarded. Singer's response to The Atlantic story wrongfully used ‘homophobia’ to deflect from sexual assault allegations and GLAAD urges the media and the industry at large to not gloss over the fact that survivors of sexual assault should be put first. The team that worked so hard on Bohemian Rhapsody as well as the legacy of Freddy Mercury deserve so much more than to be tainted in this way".[11]
