Polanski Finally Gets His Oscar
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) – Nearly six months after winning the best director
Oscar for “The Pianist,” Roman Polanski was finally able to hold the statue
this weekend.
Harrison Ford, who starred in Polanski’s 1988 movie “Frantic,” physically
handed the prize to his friend on Sunday (Sept 7) at the Deauville film
festival. It was Ford who presented the award at the March 23 telecast of
the Oscars in Los Angeles earlier this year.
If the “Chinatown” and “Rosemary’s Baby” director enters the US, he faces
arrest. In 1977 Polanski pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old
girl and was charged with rape and five other felonies.
