Casey Affleck is withdrawing from presenting at the Oscars amid claims of sexual harassment.
The actor was set to hand out the Best Actress Award at the ceremony March 4th, but told the Academy he will not be attending.
While he did not give a specific reason, his decision comes amid Hollywood's "Time's Up" and "Me Too" anti-sexual harassment movements.
Affleck was sued for sexual harassment in 2010.
Affleck won the Best Actor Oscar last year for his performance in Manchester By the Sea.
Long considered an underrated actor with strong performances in everything from Gone Baby Gone to Out of the Furnace and Good Will Hunting, Affleck turned in a career performance in the Kenneth Lonergan-directed film as the shell of a man haunted by past family trauma.
