Woody Allen has managed to craft an infamous legacy in film. Part of this is for his intensely particular brand of writing, which led films like Annie Hall, Midnight in Paris and Hannah to rake in awards from Golden Globes to Oscars. Part of his infamy stems from a litany of sexual abuse claims leveled by his daughter Dylan Farrow.

Allen has vehemently denied the abuse allegations and moved on to live a quiet life with now-47-year-old stepdaughter, whom he married when she was 27 years old. Much like the newspaper fodder, Allen doesn’t really appreciate awards either. See which award show he snubbed next.
