Andrea Riseborough has finally commented on the backlash to her Oscar nomination
, it could also result in a more insular, and frankly white, Hollywood. “Power and influence are very valuable in the awards race,” tweeted. “And because of the systemic issues that still plague Hollywood, some people have less access to those things. It’s best to remember how that affects who gets lifted up by others.”
Riseborough’s nomination has also received backlash from critics who had hoped to see a more diverse set of Oscar nominees for Best Actress. Viola Davis and Danielle Deadwyler — both of whom reportedly did receive studio help with Oscar campaigns — didn’t make the cut. The fact that the category is overwhelmingly white, coupled with Riseborough’s surprise nomination, had someaccusing the actor of taking Davis’s or Deadwyler’s spot.
A majority of the Academy members reported to have helped bolster Riseborough’s campaign are white women — a reflection of the almost all white winners of the Best Actress Oscar. Speaking withabout her support for Riseborough, Winslet, who recently worked on a film with the actor, said that she was simply motivated to support a great performance. “In our industry female actors are profoundly supportive of each other, but that’s rarely written about,” she said. “We all look out for each other.
As for how her campaign might affect the future of the Academy Awards, Riseborough said, “I do not yet know which measures will best encourage meritocracy.” For her part, she added, “I’ve been working toward discovering them and will continue to.”
