Todd Haynes’ period tale of a forbidden, at-the-time socially unacceptable relationship between two women, Carol, is a lot of things. It’s meticulous constructed, visually sumptuous, and achingly romantic. There is eroticism, sensuality, and nudity, but overall it’s in keeping the tone and themes of the film. Nominated for six Oscars, Carol is receiving a nice push and the box office, but ABC is refusing to air a new TV spot for the drama because it shows a bit of skin. Take a look at the rejected ad and judge for yourself.
The scene in question shows stars Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett , who are both up for Academy Awards next month for their performances, in bed together. Yes, they are naked, though there’s nothing more to see than you get in your average beer commercial, and everything is strategically covered. However, according to Page Six , ABC will not air the spot until The Weinstein Company "provides more coverage" on the two actresses.
Sources at TWC tell the outlet that they are in the process of making the changes requested by the network. I wonder if they’ll simply recut the footage or if they’ll use digital wizardry to cover up Mara and Blanchett. Maybe it will wind up looking like when Showgirls airs on cable and they put an animated top on Elizabeth Berkley. They probably won’t do that, but it sure would be funny.
Carol is one of the most acclaimed movies of 2015, and in addition to nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress for Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara , respectively, it also earned Oscar noms for Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Original Score, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Based on Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Price of Salt , Carol tells the story of a young shopgirl and aspiring photographer, Therese (Mara), in 1950s New York. When she encounters the glamorous older Carol (Blanchett) in her store one day, the two embark on an intimate relationship that challenges everything Therese knows and throws their lives into upheaval.
The list of awards Carol won and top ten lists it appeared on is practically endless, and those accolades started right out of the gate. When it debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in France last year it was met with a standing ovation, and in the time since it’s met with near universal acclaim.
Now that you’ve had a chance to check out the questionable Carol TV spot, do you agree with ABC’s decision? Do they have a point, is this too racy to air on the Disney-owned network? Or do you think they’re overreacting? Do you think there are other factors in play? Sound off in the comments below.

Lena Dunham’s Girls is known for it’s ground-breaking, no-nonsense and 100 per cent truthful (no matter how ‘gross’) portrayal of sex.
But there was one scene that even HBO – the network responsible for bringing us gore and sex for years – filed shows like Game of Thrones and True Blood – refused to show on screens.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter , the show’s co-creator, Judd Apatow, referred to the scene in question as a “conclusion shot”.
"It was actually cum arcing through a shot," Dunham clarified.
"And HBO said, 'If this is in the show, we could lose our license'. We were like, 'Oh my God, we've actually found the line at HBO'," Apatow said.
Love TV? Lucky for you we have a whole podcast about it! Tune in to the latest episode of The Binge:
While the team initially argued with the executives, they soon realised they "didn't need it" for the scene.
Even though that scene didn't make it to air, a lot of other sexually explicit scenes did, opening up conversations about things that are "normally hidden", said Apatow.
"So often you're not talking about a giant part of most people's lives because people don't want to portray it on film... and that opened up tons of stories that you're usually not able to tell," he said.
One scene in particular - between Adam Driver and guest star Shiri Appleby - caused a stir amongst viewers.
"When people watched that scene and said, "Is that rape?" I was surprised. To me, that was a fully consensual bummer of a sex scene," executive producer Jenni Konner said.
"But that was one where people got upset, and I was thrilled for the feedback because it was really thoughtful and emotional - it wasn't just this knee-jerk, "Oh, we did something else that pissed people off."
The sixth and final season of Girls airs on Showtime from 15th February, 2017.
Read the full interview with the cast and crew behind Girls here .
"Transparent" have shown some fairly candid scenes so this one must have been OTT........I find Americans to be a little out of balance when it comes to showing sex scenes - but hypocritical in showing extremely gross "blood & guts" stuff.........this nutty prudery is an insight into American values - particularly at the moment. Was it a problem because the main actor wasn't male.......or too old.....or not pretty enough ?

Instagram isn’t all puppies and food porn. Shots of period blood , pubic hair, and bodies that don’t fit a heteronormative ideal: These are some of the images Instagram doesn’t want you to see.
For the digital artist and internet personality Molly Soda , finding that an Instagram post has been removed for violating the company’s Community Guidelines is an abrupt reminder that the company has total control over her content. She’s had posts featuring menstrual blood, nipples, and pubic hair taken down. And in her community of digital artists and Tumblr-famous folk, having photos taken down happens all the time–so much so that Soda and the artist Arvida Byström decided to create a memorial for the banned photos of Instagram.
Their project, ironically, comes in the form of a physical book called Pics or It Didn’t Happen –an apt reference to the mantra for the age of Instagram , where social media posts become a proxy for real life. But the book inverts this perception of Instagram. It’s filled with approximately 250 photos that were banned from the platform, many of which are NSFW, and far closer to lived reality. Even if there are elements of nudity in some of the images, they’re not necessarily sexual–but that didn’t prevent content moderators from taking them down.
“I think bodies that look like female bodies are always going to be seen as sexual no matter what, no matter what the intent of the person,” Soda says. “I think that we can’t really ignore that it is pretty gendered.”
To create the book, Soda and Byström reached out to people whom they knew had photos deleted, then opened up the call to their respective social media followings. They ended up receiving thousands of submissions. Soda says that while they wanted to present an honest picture of what kinds of images are banned from Instagram, they also tried to choose aesthetically pleasing photos that would make viewers question why it was taken down in the first place.
Some of the photos that are particularly confusing to this end include one of Soda’s own, showing a shot of pubic hair coming out of her underwear with a cartoon-like penis drawing on her leg. Another is a portrait of a dark-skinned woman wearing a green hijab, two green hooded jackets, and goggle-like neon glasses, holding an iPhone to her cheek. Another seems even more innocuous: It’s a photo mostly of a smartphone screen that shows a text conversation about a woman refusing to shave her legs, with her hairy legs in the backdrop. Transgressive? Maybe. Worthy of being banned from Instagram? It’s hard to say why.
“My secret favorite is this one of this person that is looking in the mirror, and they’re lifting up their skirt, and you can see they’re wearing these big granny panties,” Soda says. “It’s funny that we’re reading them as wrong or bad.”
During the course of the project, which began in fall of 2015, Soda and Byström also learned more about Instagram’s community guidelines. “I think people operate under the assumption that it’s a robot or algorithm, but it’s actual people removing your images. It’s content moderators ,” Soda says. “They’re looking at images all day. This isn’t the worst of what they’re looking at. They’re looking at beheadings and child pornography and cleaning it up and making sure we don’t see it.”
The archival elements of the project also fit more broadly into Soda’s work. She considers herself an internet collector and says she screenshots everything so it can one day be turned into future work; one of her artworks is a 10-hour video of her reading through her inbox on Tumblr. She has a solo show in Los Angeles in April where she’s creating an installation based on her early days on the internet, what she calls a “digital memorial or graveyard, IRL.”
The project also gestures to broader questions in the current political moment about the role of networks like Instagram (and particularly, its parent company Facebook) in censorship, free speech, and who has the right to say (or post) what.
“The internet is so fluid and changing all the time, and I don’t think we think about how it shapes our memory, and how things can disappear,” Soda says. “You could wake up tomorrow and your account could be deleted.”
