'What I don’t agree with is high-profile actors using their white privilege to sway the voting results, which may have happened in this case with Riseborough.' I ✍️ Alicia Adejobi
Viola Davis and Danielle Deadwyler’s omission from the Oscars nominations were certainly a shock
Even Ana de Armas earning a nod for her performance as Marilyn Monroe in Blonde and Michelle Yeoh for Everything Everywhere All At Once, were perhaps slight curveballs but still expected given the buzz about them during awards season so far. It turns out that a host of actors – who happen to be white – had pledged their support for the 41-year-old British actress and her indie film To Leslie, which has made just $27,000 at the box office compared to big-budget releases such as Blonde, The Fabelmans and even snubbed blockbuster Woman King.
I was particularly incensed to see Frances Fisher’s comment in support of Riseborough. The Titanic actress posted several social media messages for Riseborough and in one, listed all the actresses she felt were ‘a lock’ for the nomination, including Davis and Deadwyler.
