The reason why? He was caught in a copyright infringement scandal.<\/p>\n<p>In 2004, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that a screener of the film Something\u2019s Gotta Give had been illegally circulated and traced back to Caridi, an Academy voter. He was eventually kicked out because of several pirated screeners that had been linked to him. <\/p>\n<p>He passed away on May 28, 2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"page-links\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2026\/03\/15\/banned-from-oscars-why-these-celebrities-hollywood-figures-were-banished-plus-the-truth-about-richard-gere\/\" alt=\"Banned From Oscars: Why These Celebrities &amp; Hollywood Figures Were Banished, Plus the Truth About Richard Gere\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u00ab First<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2026\/03\/15\/banned-from-oscars-why-these-celebrities-hollywood-figures-were-banished-plus-the-truth-about-richard-gere\/4\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u00ab Previous <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2026\/03\/15\/banned-from-oscars-why-these-celebrities-hollywood-figures-were-banished-plus-the-truth-about-richard-gere\/6\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Continue \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00ab First\u00ab Previous Continue \u00bb Carmine Caridi Carmine Caridi is the first actor to ever be officially banned&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":525478,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88],"class_list":["post-525477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525477\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
