Andrea Riseborough thinks some important conversations need to happen in Hollywood., and in the issue she talked about her surprising and controversial Best Actress Oscar nomination.“Awards campaigning is as acerbically exclusive as it has always been. I do not yet know which measures will best encourage meritocracy. I’ve been working toward discovering them and will continue to,” she says.
“It’s been confusing,” Riseborough says of the reaction to the nomination. “And it’s wonderful the film’s getting seen. I suppose it’s a bright ray of light. When any of us engage in anything, we want that piece of work to be absorbed in some way. You can’t control how people absorb it.”Academy Lets Andrea Riseborough’s Oscar Nod Stand But Will ‘Address Tactics With Responsible Parties Directly’
