either. In fact, since the first Academy Awards in 1929, this is the 83rd time film voters didn't nominate a Black actress for a lead performance; and for Black actors, it's the 74th lead-performance snub, the LA Times wrote.
"A Black woman being celebrated for her brilliance and gifts onscreen doesn't seem to be the type of performance worthy of celebration by the academy," Hubbard said."Even when the performance is executed flawlessly by one of the greatest talents of our time, such as Viola Davis." "Gina Prince-Bythewood is one of the best directors working today. She, Davis, and the film have been recognized and nominated throughout this award season," she told Insider via email."For the Academy to snub her directorial work and the category to be so blindingly male continues to show the chasm between excellence and recognition.
hardly anyone went to see the woman king, it didn't even break 100 mil. Till didn't even break 10 mil. It's not snubbing, those movies just didn't deserve to be there.
Every year.....
So you have to let me win, or you are racist!
If this is trending after so many Asians were nominated, then the hashtag isn't about whiteness, i.e. POC representation. Nothing wrong with a hashtag specifically about Black representation in the Academy Awards, but maybe pick one that isn't so misleadingly named.
How? when Nobody went to see the films, you say people want these movies, but then no one put their money where their Twitter finders are
