You hit the nail on the head.

Not that I’m saying Brendan Fraser doesn’t deserve to be honoured but all of this feels like a massive overcompensation or overcorrection to how they treated him in the past to make Me Too seem more credible. Almost like they forgot about him and then realized last minute that they should be treating him better.

Never forget that this so called “academy” and “guild” includes people who kept quiet for decades to cover for the likes of Harvey Weinstein and his ilk, and continues to this day to celebrate Roman Polanski.

Exactly. Even if you think something like that is wrong, by doing nothing you're still supporting it. Worse still most people involved are already millionaires so it's not like speaking out will leave them destitute.
