EXCLUSIVE: The national board of directors of the Producers Guild of America
will hold an emergency meeting Saturday to expel Harvey Weinstein from the
guild. A knowledgeable source says it’s virtually certain Weinstein will be
kicked out of the guild for his predatory sexual practices that recently came
to light.
知名影視新聞網站「Deadline.com」的搶先爆料指出︰
美國製片工會(以下簡稱PGA)的全國性董事會，將在本周六為了話題大亨「溫董」哈維
溫斯坦的會籍去留問題招開一場緊急臨時會。一名知情來源透露︰由於溫董近來陸續
被爆出私下對女演員施有與性相關侵略行為的醜聞，他的會籍被工會撤銷幾乎已成定
局。
“He will be kicked out,” a source told Deadline. “I’m proud that we’re
doing this.”
這位不具名爆料者直率指出︰「他(溫董)會被踢出去，而且我也會對我們正在做的這件
事感到驕傲。」
This epitomizes the dramatic fall of Weinstein. Just four years ago, the PGA
honored Harvey and brother Bob Weinstein with the Milestone Award, the guild’
s most prestigious honor recognizing an individual or team who has made
historic contributions to the entertainment industry.
這則消息也象徵著溫斯坦的戲劇性殞落。四年前，PGA才賜與他與他弟弟包柏「里程
碑獎」，也就是工會中對娛樂產業有歷史性貢獻的個人或團隊頒發的最高榮譽。
PGA national executive director Vance Van Petten has sent emails to members
of the guild’s national board of directors informing them of the vote and
steps the PGA plans to take to address the systemic practice of sexual
harassment in the industry. In the email sent Wednesday, he told the board
that the guild’s presidents, Gary Lucchesi and Lori McCreary, “are calling
for a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors for this Saturday, October
14th at Noon (PST) to discuss urgent Guild business and VOTE on an
appropriate course of action.”
PGA全國總會的常務董事Vance Van Petten，在最近向工會全國理事會的成員寄出多封
E-mail，提醒他們︰PGA內部已經計畫對這次震撼演藝圈的性醜聞採取實際行動，那就
是為此舉辦會員投票，他甚至還補充了投票的相關細節與步驟。在這封於美國時間
星期三寄出的電子信中，他另外告知收到信的成員一件事︰工會的共同主席Gary
Lucchesi 與Lori McCreary「已經要求在本周六西岸時間中午舉辦一場理事會專屬的
特別會議，討論工會中最迫切的事務並在適當的流程下舉行投票。」
He also included the passage from the guild’s constitution that allows for
the expulsion of members. It states that “Any member of the guild who shall,
in the opinion of the national board of directors, be guilty of any act,
omission, or conduct which is prejudicial to the welfare of the guild…be
censured, fined suspended, expelled from membership or his membership
otherwise terminated.”
他也在信中補充PGA內部規章中可以撤銷某特定會員會籍的條件，以下為規章摘錄的
中文翻譯「此工會中任何成員，只要在全國理事會成員的定義中，有做出任何犯罪
、失職或對工會利益有害的行為，得以被譴責、罰款、停權，甚至驅逐或終止會員
的資格。」
“The guild feels that it needs to lead the way on this,” another source
told Deadline. “Everybody is putting out statements about how deplorable
sexual harassment is, but the PGA really wants to do something about this
systemic problem in the industry.”
另一位與PGA相關的消息源亦對記者表示︰「工會感覺他們必須在這事件扮演領導者的
角色。大家都在發言指出性騷擾是多麼糟糕，但PGA更想要對這個產業中系統性的問題
作一些實質的後續貢獻。」
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts yesterday suspended Weinstein
’s membership, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is also
holding a meeting Saturday to discuss Weinstein’s membership.
負責頒發英國金像獎的英國影藝學院稍早已經決定對溫斯坦的會籍停權。而在另一端，
頒發電影界最大獎奧斯卡的AMPAS，也會在美國時間週六開會討論溫董會籍的相關事宜
。
