'Portrait of a Lady on Fire' star walks out in protest after Roman Polanski wins award

In a time when big Hollywood names like Harvey Weinstein are answering for their crimes, a festival jury can't expect to hand an award Roman Polanski without some backlash.

After Polanski was announced as Best Director at the French Film Academy's César Awards, Portrait of a Lady on Fire actress Adèle Haenel immediately rose from her seat and left the auditorium. 

A l'annonce du César de la Meilleure Réalisation pour Roman Polanski ("J'accuse"), Adèle Haenel quitte la salle.
