Hollywood stars James Franco and Aziz Ansari were both up for major gongs at the Screen Actors Guild awards on Sunday night, but neither of them were determined to make their presence known.

There was a distinct difference to the celebrations of the Golden Globe awards three weeks ago, when Franco and Ansari both took to the stage to collect awards and make impassioned speeches, before partying afterwards.

However, since then, both men have been at the centre of yet more sexual misconduct claims from young women. Franco has been accused by five women, some of whom were pressured into taking off their clothes while working with him, while another told the LA Times that the actor, producer and director had pressured her into performing oral sex on him. Franco's lawyer denied each allegation.

Ansari, meanwhile, was accused of aggressive sexual coercion while on a date with a woman a decade his junior, who shared her experiences to website Babe.net. Ansari responded saying he believed the interaction to be "completely consensual".
