Yet on Monday, the circle, the country’s oldest such film critics group, voted to oust Mr. White, who had chaired the group three times and had been a member since 1987. It was the first expulsion in the group’s 79-year history and left the 34-member circle with one black member.
It is unclear what precisely happened the night of Jan. 6, as Mr. McQueen stood onstage at the Edison Ballroom before some 300 attendees, including Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford. Harry Belafonte had just finished speaking when yelling broke out in the rear, where Mr. White and his friends — along with several critics and journalists — sat. Someone hollered “you’re embarrassing,” followed by “doorman and garbageman.” Then came a quick epithet that might have come from someone else. Mr. McQueen heard nothing, according to his publicist. Variety reported that Mr. White was the yeller and Mr. McQueen the target, and other news outlets echoed the same. (Critics from The New York Times, according to staff policy, are not members of the group and thus were not at the dinner.)
Mr. White, 60, lives by himself in Chelsea with no pets or plants, amid piles of DVDs. Standing 6-foot-3, he cuts an imposing figure. Yet in conversation, he comes across as exacting, quiet and polite, far different from what his writing — and seeming bad behavior — might suggest.
Vadim Rizov@vrizovAs Adele Exarchopoulos accepts, a brief, brave cry of dissent from the Armond table of sycophants: "Suck a dick!"
This is like the seventh time I've discovered Armond White is black.
