Nothing has caused quite as much of a stir around this year’s Oscars as the best-actress nomination for British actress Andrea Riseborough.
This image released by Momentum Pictures shows Andrea Riseborough in a scene from"To Leslie." — has caused quite as much a stir around this year’s Oscars as the best-actress nomination for British actress Andrea Riseborough.
So what’s the big deal? Cronyism in Hollywood isn’t exactly news; it’s more or less the modus operandi. But Riseborough’s nomination — and the strong response it’s engendered — has disrupted this year’s Oscar season, with potential repercussions for the Academy Awards in March and the bids of all future Oscar hopefuls.
There are rules that limit the kinds of events that are held and even how much someone can email promotions to academy members during the voting period. Most campaigns have veteran strategists behind them and a substantial amount of money. Those pushing Riseborough, though, managed to draw attention to her without such backing. Instead, they counted on A-listers to spread the word.
