While it was announced on March 13 that the BAFTA Games Awards will not go as planned due to the coronavirus outbreak, the British Academy does have plans of amplifying it.&nbsp;

Instead of cancelling, the British Academy will go on with the event but in a different format. It will now follow the route of others, that is, become an online live-stream event to be broadcast on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Twitch. Obviously without any red carpet and audience that happens at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's Southbank.

BAFTA’s director of awards and membership Emma Baehr said, "As things progressed, it was clear that we needed to move to a pre-produced show.”

The show will be a pre-recorded awards ceremony with the awards team producing the entire show remotely, working from home as per government instructions, coordinating time with talent and arranging script meetings.

"It’s been a challenge as we are all adapting to each other’s home circumstances," admits Baehr. "But everyone has been really supportive in pulling together to make it work. I hope they have found it creatively rewarding.”

BAFTA postpones TV awards due to coronavirus

Brad Pitt skipped the BAFTAs in February this year to attend to his daughter who underwent a surgery. Multiple media reports have stated that Pitt missed the prestigious award ceremony to be near his family. 
 
The actor won the Best Supporting Actor award at the BAFTAs for his role in Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbai' and had <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-bafta-2020-brad-pitt-makes-a-prince-harry-joke-in-speech-the-cameras-zoom-for-williams-reaction-278297">co-star Margot Robbie receiving it on his behalf.&nbsp;</a> 
 
The actor had cited a “family obligation” at the time. Now a source close to the actor has said, that for Pitt, "the children come before anything.” 
 
Just a few days back, Pitt's former wife Angelina Jolie revealed how <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-angelina-jolie-reveals-details-of-daughters-surgeries-and-how-her-kids-cared-for-one-another-285555">two of the couple's daughter underwent surgery </a>just a few days apart from each other.&nbsp; 
 
Brad Pitt reportedly stayed at his LA home to be near his daughters. Pitt, in his winning speech at the Academy Awards, had <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-brad-pitts-oscar-speech-was-about-his-kids-tarantino-and-trumps-impeachment-279812">dedicated his win to his six children.&nbsp;</a> 
 
In a Time magazine essay published Sunday in honour of International Women’s Day, Jolie wrote that her eldest daughter, 15-year-old Zahara, and one of her younger daughters — Shiloh, 13 — were operated on. 
 
The actress did not mention Pitt in the essay but stated how the surgeries had brought the family together.&nbsp; 
 
“I have spent the last two months in and out of surgeries with my eldest daughter and days ago watched her younger sister go under the knife for a hip surgery,” the actress wrote. 
 
“I have watched my daughters care for one another. My youngest daughter (Vivienne) studied the nurses with her sister and then assisted the next time. 
 
“I saw how all my girls so easily stopped everything and put each other first, and felt the joy of being of service to those they love.” 
 
Both Jolie and Pitt haven't revealed the kind of surgery that their daughters underwent. Jolie mentioned Shiloh had to undergo a hip surgery but the cause or the exact nature of the surgery was not mentioned.&nbsp;

Nik Powell, co-founder of Virgin Records with Richard Branson and a producer of movies including best picture Oscar nominee 'The Crying Game', passed away at the age of 69. His death was announced by the National Film and Television School. Powell was undergoing cancer treatment and passed away on Thursday in Oxford, England, reported the news agency. 
 
Nik had served amongst National Film and Television School's renowned director from 2003-17. "He loved the school deeply and was incredibly proud of every one of our graduates," said the NFTS in a statement. 
 
"Nik leaves a lasting legacy and will be missed by us all," added the statement. Powell and Stephen Woolley propelled the U K&nbsp;label Palace Pictures in 1982, and he was a producer on three movies from writer-director Neil Jordan: 'The Company of Wolves'&nbsp;1984, 'Mona Lisa'&nbsp;1986&nbsp;and 'The Crying Game'&nbsp;1992, for which Jordan earned the first screenplay Oscar. 
 
Powell and Woolley went on to establish Scalla Productions in 1992, and Powell had producing credits on such other films as Backbeat 1994, 'The Neon Bible'&nbsp;1995, 'Twenty Four Seven'&nbsp;1997, 'Fever Pitch'1997, 'Understanding Jane'&nbsp;2001, 'Last Orders'&nbsp;2001, 'Ladies in Lavender'&nbsp;2004&nbsp;and 'Brimstone'&nbsp;2016.

"Nik leaves an unrivaled legacy, and no one has done more than him to set the bar high. We will continue to strive for the future success of the school in his honor," Wardle concluded.&nbsp;

Jane Fonda accepted her BAFTA Brittania Award while being arrested at a climate change protest in Washington, D.C. Fonda has moved to Washington and has been lobbying lawmakers for a Green New Deal policy to slow and combat the effects of climate change.

Arrested Jane Fonda accept BAFTA award via video message

The 2019 BAFTA film and television awards ceremony was dominated by two films – 'The Favourite', a romp through 18th-century British history, and 'Roma', a love letter to director Alfonso Cuarón’s home town of Mexico City.

'The Favourite' has been greeted with considerable critical acclaim in the UK and it was no surprise that it took home seven awards, including best British film. But the best film gong went to 'Roma' and Cuarón also picked up best director. The Netflix film has already attracted several awards (including best director for Cuarón at the Golden Globes), but beating big British films 'The Favourite' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody' to the top prize is a considerable coup for the streaming service, a relative newcomer to the world of movie awards.

'Roma'’s success cements Netflix’s position as a place for original and high-quality movies. It’s an unusual winner in several ways: A foreign language film shot in black and white and featuring largely unknown actors. Such films are often well-received but rarely pick up the biggest gongs.

'Roma'’s win means that the Oscar race for best picture is well and truly open. The Golden Globes awarded the big prizes to 'Bohemian Rhapsody', for best drama, and 'Green Book' for best musical or comedy, and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) gave Black Panther a nod for best ensemble cast. But I wouldn’t rule 'The Favourite' out of contention yet, either.

The players

Best actress awards have been a two-horse race this year between Olivia Colman (in 'The Favourite') and Glenn Close (in 'The Wife'). They each bagged a Golden Globe, for example, due to those awards using different categories for drama and comedy/musical, while Close won the SAG Award. Now Colman&nbsp;has the BAFTA, too. It’s unsurprising that the British awards ceremony celebrated Colman – and it’s too close to call as to which will bring home the Oscar in a few weeks’ time.

Personally, I’m torn, because both genuinely deserve it – and it’s an exceptionally strong category this year (in any other year, Melissa McCarthy’s superlative turn in 'Can You Ever Forgive Me?' would have been a strong favourite as well). But my heart says it should be Close, not only for her performance in 'The Wife' – she is heartbreakingly good – but because it’s crazy that an actor of her stature has yet to win an Academy Award.

Rami Malek took the best actor award for 'Bohemian Rhapsody' – with the British film again taking precedence over Christian Bale’s outstanding performance as former US vice-president Dick Cheney in Vice. As with Colman and Close, Bale and Malek have been in a close race for awards, with both picking up Golden Globes. But Malek’s triumph both at the BAFTAs and at the SAG awards must make his Oscar chances stronger.

Mahershala Ali – who is proving an astonishingly versatile performer – picked up another best-supporting actor trophy for 'Green Book', while Rachel Weisz took the best supporting actress award for 'The Favourite'. These wins highlight some of the issues with defining the difference between “lead” and “supporting”. 'Green Book' is largely a two-hander between Ali and Viggo Mortensen, while Weisz, Colman and Emma Stone are equal leads in 'The Favourite'. Colman herself pointed this out in her acceptance speech.

Talking points

The biggest misses of the night were the presenters’ scripts. Unfunny joke after unfunny joke were greeted with awkward silences and gritted teeth. When even talented comedic performers such as Melissa McCarthy, Riz Ahmed and host Joanna Lumley can’t raise a smile, there’s something seriously wrong. Jettisoning jokes altogether would have been far less embarrassing than “gags” that were barely coherent, never mind amusing.

Last year’s awards season was all about the big political statement, with the #TimesUp and #MeToo movements and big speeches from the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Frances McDormand. This year, there have been fewer grand gestures –nunless we count Rising Star winner Letitia Wright’s somewhat cringeworthy speech about God, which might have worked across the Atlantic, but in the British context just felt awkward.

Variety show

But let’s not forget that the darlings of this awards season have included a film about a woman whose husband has kept her in the shadows taking back control (The Wife), a female-centred power battle featuring lesbianism and political satire ('The Favourite') and a Spike Lee film about a black man infiltrating the KKK ('BlackKKlansman', which won best adapted screenplay).

We also had a critique of the political elite ('Vice'), a celebration of a queer idol ('Bohemian Rhapsody'), a multiracial buddy story featuring a gay black musician encountering racial hatred in the Deep South ('Green Book'), and two triumphantly diverse superhero flicks ('Black Panther' and best animation winner 'Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse'). Not to mention Cuarón’s story of a Mexican housekeeper, set against a time of political upheaval, with clear messages about nation, gender and class ('Roma').

It remains to be seen which films the Oscars will recognise – and what those choices might say about the Trump era. Awards for stories celebrating women, and the black and LGBTQ+ communities would send a message about the need for these voices to be heard (although there is still some way to go), but as plans for the president’s beloved wall project are under intense scrutiny, I wouldn’t bet against another triumph for the Mexican film.

BAFTA 2019: 'The Favourite', 'Roma' take home big awards of the night

Netflix black-and-white production 'Roma'&nbsp;triumphed at the Bafta film awards on Sunday, boosting Oscar hopes for the US streaming giant despite concerns its business model undermines the film industry.

The cinematic love letter to director Alfonso Cuaron's childhood in Mexico City in the 1970s edged out black comedy 'The Favourite'&nbsp;for best film and best director.

"I'm seriously touched this film has been received the way it's been received," Cuaron said at a star-studded ceremony in London's Royal Albert Hall that was also attended by Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Cuaron thanked Netflix for "having the courage" to get behind &nbsp;"Roma" as he picked up the gong on stage.

The success of the film "in an age where fear and anger are proposed to divide us means the world to me", he said.

Netflix UK tweeted its congratulations, saying it was a "deeply moving film and deserves all the love it's getting".

The film portrays domestic strife and social hierarchy amid political turmoil and focuses on a housekeeper and nanny called Cleo, played by indigenous actress Yalitza Aparicio.

'Roma'&nbsp;dented expectations of a clean sweep by 'The Favourite'&nbsp;which picked up best actress for Olivia Colman as Queen Anne and best supporting actress for Rachel Weisz playing her confidante and lover.

The film, about a cantankerous 18th-century British queen and her scheming court, had been nominated for 12 awards and picked up seven on the night.

"She doesn't take herself too seriously and she enjoys what she's doing," Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos said of Colman.

Colman, 45, was up against Glenn Close The Wife') and Lady Gaga ('A Star is Born') -- the same power duo she will face at the Oscars on February 24.

Weisz won out against co-star Emma Stone who was nominated in the same category.

Weisz and Stone are also in the running for Oscars in a proud year for the British film industry.

'Roma' is also nominated for best picture at the Oscars later this month, the first-ever nomination for Netflix which has propelled it into the Hollywood club of elite filmmakers.

While it has progressively been welcomed at most major film festivals, Netflix still finds that Tinseltown's red carpet is not fully rolled out -- with theatres up in arms about its position as a distribution king and A-list content provider.

After the Oscar nominations came out, mega-theatre chains AMC and Regal -- by far the top two in the business in America -- announced that 'Roma'&nbsp;would not be screened in their annual best-picture showcases.

In all, 'Roma'&nbsp;was shown in roughly 900 theatres around the world -- more than any other Netflix film, but far short of the norm for a usual wide release. Netflix never released any box office data.

While Netflix has made some good-faith efforts to gain Hollywood's acceptance, it did so while only making minor concessions -- and no changes to its business model.

It only waited three weeks after the release of 'Roma'&nbsp;in theatres to put it up on its platform, far less than the 90 days that cinema owners ask studios to hold back.

Last year's ceremony saw Hollywood stars paint the red carpet black in solidarity with the #MeToo movement.

The 2019 edition has also been tinged by scandal.

Bafta removed 'Bohemian Rhapsody'&nbsp;director Bryan Singer from the Queen biopic's citation in the outstanding British film nomination "in light of recent very serious allegations".

This referred to an article in the US magazine The Atlantic detailing sexual misconduct allegations that included underage sex. Singer denies the story and the film itself was still up for the award, although it failed to win it.

Rami Malek's portrayal of the late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury -- a victim of the AIDS epidemic in the days when homosexuality was taboo in rock-and-roll -- earned him the best actor award, however.

After winning the Bafta, he paid tribute to Mercury as "the greatest outsider of them all".

Malek won against Christian Bale's transformation into the humourless but powerful former US vice president Dick Cheney in 'Vice'.

Best supporting actor went to Mahershala Ali for 'Green Book', a comedy-drama in which he plays a jazz pianist on a tour of America's Deep South in 1962.

'Free Solo'&nbsp;-- a film about the first person to climb El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without ropes -- won the award for best documentary.

"I'm seriously touched this film has been received the way it's been received," Cuaron said at a star-studded ceremony in London's Royal Albert Hall that was also attended by Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Cuaron thanked Netflix for "having the courage" to get behind "Roma" as he picked up the gong on stage. The success of the film "in an age where fear and anger are proposed to divide us means the world to me", he said. Netflix UK tweeted its congratulations, saying it was a "deeply moving film and deserves all the love it's getting". The film portrays domestic strife and social hierarchy amid political turmoil and focuses on a housekeeper and nanny called Cleo, played by indigenous actress Yalitza Aparicio. 'Roma' dented expectations of a clean sweep by 'The Favourite' which picked up best actress for Olivia Colman as Queen Anne and best supporting actress for Rachel Weisz playing her confidante and lover. The film, about a cantankerous 18th-century British queen and her scheming court, had been nominated for 12 awards and picked up seven on the night. "She doesn't take herself too seriously and she enjoys what she's doing," Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos said of Colman. Colman, 45, was up against Glenn Close The Wife') and Lady Gaga ('A Star is Born') -- the same power duo she will face at the Oscars on February 24. Weisz won out against co-star Emma Stone who was nominated in the same category. Weisz and Stone are also in the running for Oscars in a proud year for the British film industry. 'Roma' is also nominated for best picture at the Oscars later this month, the first-ever nomination for Netflix which has propelled it into the Hollywood club of elite filmmakers. While it has progressively been welcomed at most major film festivals, Netflix still finds that Tinseltown's red carpet is not fully rolled out -- with theatres up in arms about its position as a distribution king and A-list content provider. After the Oscar nominations came out, mega-theatre chains AMC and Regal -- by far the top two in the business in America -- announced that 'Roma' would not be screened in their annual best-picture showcases. In all, 'Roma' was shown in roughly 900 theatres around the world -- more than any other Netflix film, but far short of the norm for a usual wide release. Netflix never released any box office data. While Netflix has made some good-faith efforts to gain Hollywood's acceptance, it did so while only making minor concessions -- and no changes to its business model. It only waited three weeks after the release of 'Roma' in theatres to put it up on its platform, far less than the 90 days that cinema owners ask studios to hold back. Last year's ceremony saw Hollywood stars paint the red carpet black in solidarity with the #MeToo movement. The 2019 edition has also been tinged by scandal. Bafta removed 'Bohemian Rhapsody' director Bryan Singer from the Queen biopic's citation in the outstanding British film nomination "in light of recent very serious allegations". This referred to an article in the US magazine The Atlantic detailing sexual misconduct allegations that included underage sex. Singer denies the story and the film itself was still up for the award, although it failed to win it. Rami Malek's portrayal of the late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury -- a victim of the AIDS epidemic in the days when homosexuality was taboo in rock-and-roll -- earned him the best actor award, however. After winning the Bafta, he paid tribute to Mercury as "the greatest outsider of them all". Malek won against Christian Bale's transformation into the humourless but powerful former US vice president Dick Cheney in 'Vice'. Best supporting actor went to Mahershala Ali for 'Green Book', a comedy-drama in which he plays a jazz pianist on a tour of America's Deep South in 1962. 'Free Solo' -- a film about the first person to climb El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without ropes -- won the award for best documentary.

Joanna Lumley to return as BAFTA Awards ceremony host

Four months after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced a new date for Oscars ceremony in 2020, British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has followed suit and changed the dates of the ceremony for that year.&nbsp;

The Academy is bringing the date of the 2020 Oscars ceremony forward by two weeks to February 9.&nbsp;

According to a statement released on Tuesday, the 2020 BAFTAs will now take place on February 2, reports hollywoodreporter.com.&nbsp;

The move ensures that the BAFTAs are still ahead of the Academy Awards -- where it has been since the British Academy made the swift in 2001 -- but it means that the biggest film awards outside the US is now just one week earlier than the Oscars, rather than the usual two.&nbsp;

The move also means the ceremony won`t clash with the Berlinale. The 2019 BAFTAs are still set to take place on February 10.&nbsp;

After Oscars, BAFTA shifts 2020 award ceremony date

HBO’s “Game of Thrones”’ production team will now be given the BAFTA Special Award at this year’s British Academy Television Craft Awards.

BAFTA said that the award is to recognise the efforts of the production team of the hit series that has pushed boundaries while making the fantasy epic drama.&nbsp;

<a href="http://www.wionews.com/videos/game-of-thrones-and-its-british-connection-7699">Also Watch:&nbsp;Game of Thrones and its British connection</a>

The award also recognises the support that “Game of Thrones” has provided for high-end TV production in the UK, BAFTA said. The show has been filmed across various locations in Northern Ireland and set up a production headquarters at Titanic Studios in Belfast, the Northern Irish capital, which has been a base for the series since the pilot.

Hannah Murray and John Bradley from the hit series are said to attend the ceremony to collect the award on behalf of the team.&nbsp;

Currently, the team is busy filming the eighth and final six-episode season of “Game of Thrones,” which will<a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/entertainment-hbo-confirms-for-first-time-game-of-thrones-to-return-in-2019-28632"> air in 2019</a>. HBO is working on several potential spinoffs of the series so as to avoid any leaks like that of its previous season.&nbsp;

Speaking on behalf of the production team, executive producers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff said in a statement: “Many, many people work insanely hard to create any film or television show. They are creators every bit as much as actors, writers, producers or directors, and deserve to be recognized as such.”

“The craft behind what is one of the most popular dramas of our time is nothing short of incredible, from the breath-taking location shots to the intricately designed costumes and set pieces, and not forgetting the level of detail from the makeup and prosthetics team, to name a few,” added Krishnendu Majumdar, chair of BAFTA television committee. “Huge congratulations to everyone involved.”

The BAFTA Craft Awards will take place on April 22 in London. The ceremony will be live streamed on YouTube and Twitter.

‘Game of Thrones’ to receive BAFTA Special Award

Crime drama &quot;Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri&quot; captured five British Bafta film awards on Sunday, including best film, topping an emotionally charged ceremony that featured fashion and rhetoric in support of the fight against sexual harassment sweeping Hollywood. 
 
The movie, chronicling a grieving mothers campaign for justice, won for original screenplay and outstanding British film, while Frances McDormand bagged best actress&nbsp;and Sam Rockwell best supporting actor prizes. 
&quot;The Shape of Water&quot; -- the most heavily nominated film of the night with 12 nods -- came away with only three awards, including best director for Guillermo Del Toro, while &quot;Darkest Hour&quot; claimed two prizes, including for Gary Oldman as best actor. 
 
With Hollywood still reeling from the fallout of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, the resulting anti-sexual harassment campaigns were reflected in the mood of the evening. 
 
&quot;Our film is a hopeful one in lots of ways but its also an angry one,&quot; Martin McDonagh, writer and director of &quot;Three Billboards&quot;, said in his acceptance speech. 
 
&quot;And as weve seen this year, sometimes anger is the only way to get people to listen and to change, so were thrilled that Bafta has recognised this.&quot; 
 
Star&#39;s arrived at Londons Royal Albert Hall predominantly dressed in black in solidarity with the #MeToo and &quot;Times Up&quot; campaigns, mirroring other recent American red carpets including last months Golden Globes. 
Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lawrence and Kristin Scott Thomas were among the stars who wore black. 
 
British royals avoid making overtly political statements or gestures, so there was little surprise when the Duchess of Cambridge chose to wear a dark green dress, by British designer Jenny Packham, as she accompanied husband Prince William, president of Bafta, to the ceremony. 
 
Jane Lush, chair of Bafta, opened the evening soberly telling the star-studded audience it was important to acknowledge a &quot;difficult&quot; past year, and noted efforts to tackle gender inequality. 
 
&quot;Brave revelations have followed brave revelations of bullying and sexual harassment, and which to all our shame has been hidden in plain sight for decades,&quot; she said. 
 
&quot;This is a moment in history, it should be a watershed, a catalyst for lasting change.&quot;

Host Joanna Lumley, a British film and TV star, also praised the gender equality movement as a continuation of the work of the Suffragettes a century ago.

She hailed the &quot;determination to eradicate the abuse of women the world over&quot; as she took to the stage. 
 
Meanwhile, in an open letter published before the awards, almost 200 British and Irish stars backed a new fund to help women facing sexual harassment and abuse at work. 
 
It echoes a similar initiative launched in Hollywood last month and was kick-started with a USD 1.4 million donation from actress and activist Emma Watson. 
 
Choices at the Baftas, which fall between the Globes and the Oscars, often mirror those of the American heavyweights. 
 
&quot;The Shape of Water&quot;, a story of love between a mute cleaning woman and a mystery merman-like creature, led the pack just as it has across the Atlantic, where it has topped the list of Oscar nominations with 13 nods, including for best picture. 
 
As well as director del Toros award for direction, composer Alexandre Desplat collected the original music award -- his third BAFTA win -- and the film also won best production design. 
 
Allison Janney won best supporting actress for her role as the mother of controversial figure skater Tonya Harding in biopic &quot;I, Tonya&quot;. 
 
&quot;I loved doing this crazy part and finding her humanity, thats what I try and do in all roles,&quot; she said backstage. 
 
Gary Oldman&#39;s turn as Churchill in &quot;Darkest Hour&quot; has so far won him a Golden Globe, a Bafta and the chance of an Oscar on March 4. 
 
He paid tribute to the wartime British leader, saying: &quot;In those dark, uncertain days in 1940, he held the line for honour, for integrity and freedom for his nation and the world, so I thank you, Sir Winston.&quot; 
 
Accepting her best actress accolade, McDormand, who chose not to wear black, quoted her on-screen character who has &quot;a little trouble with compliance&quot;. 
 
&quot;But I want you to know I stand in full solidarity with my sisters tonight in black,&quot; she added.

Baftas 2018: Read the full list of nominations here

Norwegian model and actress Natassia Malthe has accused studio mogul Harvey Weinstein of raping her in a London hotel room after BAFTA ceremony in 2008.

The actress, who has appeared in more than 50 films, said that she met Weinstein at the after party of the 2008 ceremony while she was working as a spokeswoman for LG, reports The Guardian.

Malthe is best known for starring in the &#39;BloodRayne&#39;&nbsp;horror-action franchise for filmmaker Uwe Boll, for whom she also starred in direct-to-video sequels &#39;Alone in the Dark II&#39;&nbsp;and &#39;In the Name of the King II&#39; and&nbsp;her biggest break was a villainous turn as the Marvel Comics character Typhoid opposite Jennifer Garner in 2005&rsquo;s superheroine bomb &#39;Elektra.&#39;

While speaking at a press conference, Malthe said that despite her repeatedly telling Weinstein she was not interested in&nbsp;a sexual relationship, he forced himself on her&nbsp;at the Sanderson hotel after they met at the BAFTA&nbsp;in February 2008.

The next day she received a script, she alleged, before returning to Los Angeles where she said she was given the impression she had landed a role in the movie &lsquo;Nine&rsquo;, a film produced by Weinstein that would star Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman and Judi Dench.

&nbsp;Although, she claims she was not&nbsp;comfortable because of&nbsp;what Harvey had done, she still went ahead with a dance audition

Malthe&rsquo;s lawyer Gloria Allred, who appeared alongside Malthe, described it as sexual assault was completely&nbsp;non-consensual.

&ldquo;I had experienced sexual harassment from other powerful men in Hollywood, but my experiences with Harvey were the worst,&rdquo; noted Malthe.

Malthe, who is from Norway, said she left the US&nbsp;after that incident and became depressed and anxious. &ldquo;I felt that my dreams had been shattered,&rdquo; Malthe said.

Many Hollywood actresses including Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow have come out with the claims that the movie mogul tried to sexually harass them. &nbsp;

The Weinstein Company, which sacked Weinstein, is also being sued for five million dollars by actress Dominique Huett, who claims the studio was negligent for having knowledge of his behaviour.
