Hollywood shows its hypocrisy with Gary Oldman honor

Hollywood is awfully forgetful when it comes to offensive comments.

Three years ago, after Gary Oldman defended Mel Gibson and said Hollywood was “run by Jews,” it looked like his movie career was over.

But on Sunday, Oldman will receive the Hollywood Career Achievement Award at the Beverly Hilton.

With fellow Brit James Corden hosting the 21st annual Hollywood Film Awards, Oldman will be honored for his roles in “Sid & Nancy,” “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” and, most recently, as Winston Churchill in “Darkest Hour.”

Hard to believe it was just 2014 when Showbiz411 ran the headline: “Actor Gary Oldman Ends His Career in Hollywood with Racist, Anti-Semitic Interview.”

Before hastily apologizing for his comments, Oldman had told Playboy magazine, “Mel Gibson is in a town that’s run by Jews and he said the wrong thing because he’s actually bitten the hand that I guess has fed him . . . He got drunk and said a few things, but we’ve all said those things. We’re all f–king hypocrites.”

Hypocrites with short memories.
