Russell Crowe strikes off-tone note at AACTA awards with sodomy story
Russell Crowe has faced criticism following a speech at the Australian Academy of Cinema, Television Arts (AACTA) Awards last night, claiming he sodomised co-star Jackie McKenzie on the set of Romper Stomper.
Crowe – who also presented the award for best Asian film – said he wanted to take a “riskier” side step ahead of announcing the winner.

Where he missed the mark, was misreading his audience. That was a room full of lefty-luvvies, whose socio-political groupthink is almost as blinkered and bad as an ABC-Fairfax gathering. On this occasion Rusty was a “Kiwi actor”.
