Members Faulkner Posted January 28, 2023 Members Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Well and also Ana was nominated in a few precursors, which makes her Oscar nod feel a bit more predestined. At least the objections to her are focused more on the merits of her performance. These awards have become so predictable that people do feel somewhat entitled to “slots,” as Frances Fisher’s message referenced. But this writer is right that the Academy could have easily gone for another Olivia Colman performance in Andrea’s place. The Academy does have a history of ignoring great work from black actresses, but the scapegoating from people who should know better (as well as a handful of grifters who like to pick at our country’s open wounds re: race by focusing on trivia like this) does no one any good. It sad that Andrea’s work would be tainted in this way. There’s of course this from Variety’s piece: Please register in order to view this content Follow the money.

Members Faulkner Posted January 30, 2023 Members Share Posted January 30, 2023 @DRW50 @Vee Interesting stuff. Most people who responded don’t believe she’ll have her nomination suspended and certainly don’t support a suspension (in contrast to Variety’s clickbait header). One person suggests a black actress like Viola Davis wouldn’t have gotten away with such tactics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 30, 2023 Members Share Posted January 30, 2023 They're probably right, but it just points out how hollow the Academy is when black actresses have to meet such high standards yet are lucky to ever even get a nomination. This whole thing has been another ugly example of how we should leave the Oscars to the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 20, 2023 Members Share Posted February 20, 2023 @Vee I needed the laugh. My favorite part, aside from the death stares, is DeBose dramatically overpronouncing "Hong Chau" in a questionable manner in lieu of actually having anything to say about her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 20, 2023 Members Share Posted February 20, 2023 I like how she clearly has no idea who some of the more serious documentary, etc. or local nominees are but just hurls vague rah-rah platitudes at them anyway. From the hilarious Guardian piece: Also: "Good luck to you, Katy Brand!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 21, 2023 Members Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) LMAO I wasn’t following the commentary but saw headlines saying Ariana’s opener was getting criticized. I expected it to be a bunch of anti-woke folk not wanting to see a Afro-Latina rapping at their precious BAFTAs. I didn’t expect her performance to be such a spectacular trainwreck. She’ll be better known for this than her Oscar-winning role. Edited February 21, 2023 by Faulkner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted February 21, 2023 Administrator Share Posted February 21, 2023 Wow, that was pretty funny! LOL Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (Everything Everywhere All at Once) won the Directors Guild, so EEAAO now takes the lead for in the Best Picture race. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 21, 2023 Members Share Posted February 21, 2023 Here's more of the full performance. I did not realize just how long the very awkward name part went on. That probably helped contribute to how out of breath she was.
