In today's New York Times, Michael Cieply asks whether moral judgments will increasingly color the decisions that Oscar voters make when they cast their votes on films nominated for awards. In particular, Cieply asks what effect the open letter that director Woody Allen's adopted daughter Dylan Farrow published yesterday via Nicholas Kristof's Times column will have on Oscar voters' decisions this year. In the open letter, Farrow repeats claims she has made in the past (which Allen denies) that Allen sexually abused her when she was a child.
