The Academy said he longer merited the respect of his colleagues

The Academy said he longer merited the respect of his colleagues.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said he longer merited the respect of his colleagues and its board "voted well in excess of the required two-thirds majority" to expel him. Also, Austrians prepare to vote in a general election which could install the youngest head of government in Europe, the first commercial flight lands in St Helena, and a magical rescue for a family stranded in Scotland.
