Sean Penn voiced his disdain for the Academy Awards while attending the Marrakech Film Festival on Tuesday.
Penn, 64, chain-smoked on stage before blasting the Oscars for “limiting different cultural expressions” while sharing his support for the President-elect Donald Trump biopic, “The Apprentice,” at a press conference.
The two-time Academy Award winner was on hand for a career tribute and said that ceremonies such as the Oscars should be seen as “television shows first,” not as indicators of artistic merit.
