Aziz Ansari skips SAG Awards following sexual misconduct accusation

Golden Globe winner Aziz Ansari kept his distance from this year's SAG Awards following recent accusations of sexual misconduct.

Nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series, the Master of None star didn't make an appearance on the red carpet or at the ceremony on Sunday.

Ansari shared the SAG Award nomination Anthony Anderson (black-ish), Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Sean Hayes (Will & Grace), Marc Maron (GLOW) and William H. Macy (Shameless), who ultimately won the award.

Earlier in January, Aziz had become the first Asian American male actor to win a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy TV Series.

While there is of course no way to know for sure why Ansari skipped the ceremony, he wouldn't be the only star facing accusations who skipped the red carpet on Sunday, with The Disaster Artist's James Franco making his way into the ceremony without a red carpet walk.

Franco's sister-in-law Alison Brie, who is up for two nominations for Netflix series GLOW, addressed the allegations against Franco talked to E! News' Giuliana Rancic on the red carpet on Sunday.

"Not everything that has been reported is fully accurate, so I think we're waiting to get all the information," said Brie. "But of course now is the time for listening and that's what we're all trying to do."
