Julie Delpy has claimed that the Academy Awards are run by a bunch of crusty white dudes who take bribes for votes.
The 44-year-old French-American actress, who has been nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for 'Before Midnight' with Ethan Hawke, said that the awards are meaningless because the voters are "90 percent% white men over 70 who need money", TMZ reported.

Delpy added that 90 percent of movies made in Hollywood are "crap".
