The British nomination Andrea Riseborough for Best Actress at the Oscars that will be delivered on March 12 is not in doubt, and she will not be penalized with the cancellationis the official statement of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
However, it does not mean that the path of the protagonist of To Leslie be totally clear. The organizers of the awards confirmed that uncovered campaign tactics on social media and in other circles that are of concern, and stated that they will address this issue directly with the responsible parties, who made lobby for the artist’s interpretation to reach the Oscars.
In this list you made Advertising by Riseborough on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are Susan Susan Sarandon, Helen Hunt, Zooey Deschanel, Mira Sorvino, Constance Zimmer, Rosie O’Donnell, Alan Cumming and Edward Norton.
Norton, who starred with Andrea Riseborough in Birdman, said her performance in To Leslie had knocked him out, while personalities like Charlize Theron, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Minnie Driver, Gwyneth Paltrow, Amy Adams and Kate Winslet hosted in-person and virtual events honoring the artist. Winslet publicly stated that this had been “the greatest performance female screen I’ve ever seen.”
The decision came after the 54-member Academy’s board of directors met yesterday, Monday, January 30, for an internal review of the Riseborough case, which has become the subject of debate due to the unconventional methods it is supposed to prompted the 41-year-old actress’s nomination.
Few at the Academy had heard of To Leslie, an independent production allied with a poor American distributor, Momentum Pictures. This means that she had a fairly modest theatrical release and couldn’t have gotten noticed as an awards contender.
But that did not matter, because the decision of Riseborough’s candidacy belongs to the sector of the board made up of actors, since they are the ones who determine the nominations for performing arts, and they had already been contacted by the defenders of the English, headed by the Director of To Leslie Michael Morris, his wife, actress Mary McCormack; Riseborough’s manager and other celebrities in the film industry.
“The purpose of the campaign regulations that the Academy makes is to ensure a fair and ethical process, which are the core values. Given this report, it is apparent that components of these rules need to be clarified to create a better, respectful, inclusive, and impartial framework for socializing. These changes will be made after this award cycle and will be shared with our membership. The Academy strives to create an environment where votes are based solely on artistic and technical merit,” said Oscars CEO Bill Kramer. (AND)
