Chapter 856: Discrimination Inflicted on White Actors

readx;?“ The Oscars have always welcomed people of color to present and even entertain audiences, but it is rare for us to be recognized for our artistic achievements, so should people of color work together and not attend the gala? ”

This is the latest Oscar list after the release, Will? Smith's wife Jada? Smith's public remarks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

She is not the only one, many well-known black actors have pointed the finger at this Oscar.

"I'm disappointed that this year's nominations lack diversity, and it reminds me of the unconscious bias in society and the prestige that our culture deserves, the Oscars should not only be a benchmark for art in modern society, but also reflect the diversity of the best arts, and I support my colleagues who are calling for change and delivering on their promises."

Black people and the Oscars instantly became a hot topic in society.

Perhaps it is the change brought by Duke, this Oscar is a little different from the previous Oscar nomination list, and perhaps some fans still remember the news that the Oscar nomination caused "racial discrimination", when black actors were angry because there was no black star shortlisted in the major acting awards.

And after this year's Oscar nominations were announced last Thursday, black stars were once again ignored, and such a result caused an uproar.

For two consecutive years, the Oscar nominations for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress in four categories, a total of 20 actors, all of whom are white, in the United States where the slogan of "racial discrimination" is shouting loudly, such a choice, whether intentional or unintentional, has made some people full of resentment.

Even, many black actors have publicly stated that they will boycott the Oscars.

Some Hollywood speculators also jumped out, such as George? Political activists like Clooney.

"If you think back to 10 years ago, the Oscar performance was even more commendable, when how many African Americans were nominated? I don't think it's a question of who you choose, it's about how many ethnic minority actors are available in the movie, especially in the good ones. ”

Yes, nominating blacks seems to be a form of political correctness, and the academy once gave birth to Harry because of this political correctness? Berry and other unworthy Oscar actresses.

Despite the fact that Cheryl, the president of the Academy? Boone? Speaking in a statement about the lack of diversity in this year's nominations, Isaacs said: "I want to acknowledge the outstanding performance of this year's nominees while celebrating their extraordinary achievements. I was also sad and frustrated by the lack of inclusivity. This is a difficult and important conversation, and it's time for a big change. The College is taking significant steps to change the composition of our membership. In the coming days and weeks, we will be reviewing our membership to make next year's college even more diverse. ”

But many more are not impressed.

Jenny, who is also a black actor? Hubert criticized Jada in an interview? Smith. "There are so many things in the world that you don't realize, someone is struggling to die, someone is starving, someone is in debt, and all you care about is Oscar and a few golden men. It's not that important, and why are you calling for a boycott of the Oscars? Is it really for fairness? Not because of Will? Smith was not selected for nomination! ”

Whoopi, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress? Goldberg criticized the boycott of the Oscars on his direct talk show, "Want to boycott the Oscars? Don't go to movies you don't represent, that's the real boycott, and every year there is such a controversy, which really annoys me. ”

Black actors who didn't get an Oscar nomination seem like a matter of course, as if they deserved to be nominated, and many people are very disgusted with this kind of naturalness.

"Why do you want to distinguish between people? Black actors, regardless of their roles or performances, are asking for an Oscar nomination...... "British actress Charlotte?" Ramplin said in an interview with a radio station. "This is simply racist discrimination inflicted on white actors!"

Racism has been an unusually sensitive topic across the United States, since Harry? After Berry's groundbreaking first black actress, black actors continued to receive nominations and statuettes, and after more than a decade of development, these people inevitably formed a strange psychology - whether we were qualified enough or not, we were naturally nominated for an Oscar, and not winning it must be racist.

This kind of psychology has been very obvious in some black groups in Hollywood.

For those who called for black actors to boycott the Oscars, the octogenarian Clint? Eastwood couldn't help it, and mocked these people for having a glass heart: "I guess a lot of people are crying!" ”

With Duke's current status. Naturally, this question would be asked by the reporters who were chasing him.

Although no one has ever reported it publicly, it is not difficult for discerning people in Hollywood to find that Duke does not like to use black actors in all the films he produces. Remove Will? Except for Smith becoming one of the leading actors in the group drama "Independence Day", no black actor can become the protagonist, and even in many films, there are Asians, Latinos, and Slavs, but there is no black person.

However, to this day. None of the mainstream media outlets have reported or slammed Duke on this, because in the eyes of the mainstream media, this is a matter of course.

"I don't know about this controversy about the Oscars, I just know that there are a few thousand people in the film school, and the vast majority of them have never been nominated for an Oscar."

Facing the microphone of reporters, Duke directly expressed his opinion, but he also knew very well how to say something to find out the thorn, "I voted for several black actors, and I regret that they did not get nominated." But if we say we're racist because of that, then I feel extremely offended. ”

In some ways, the Oscars are like parents and underage children to actors, and many of the problems are used to before.

Sometimes people are too inferior to feel that others look down on them for anything.

Of course, Duke wouldn't say that.

"Personally, acting should be the only criterion for the Oscars, and the actor has to have a good performance in the work, not just because he is black and get more preferential treatment, otherwise it would be unfair to everyone."

Speaking of which, Duke turned to joke about himself and Leonardo, "I think 'The Avengers' should get me a Best Director nomination, but it's the opposite, but it's good not to be nominated, I don't have to travel all the way there, you know it's tiring to sit on the set, and you have to applaud with Leonardo." ”

The biggest change at this Oscars is here, Leonardo? DiCaprio was nominated for Best Actor for "The Great Gatsby", and it was the black actor Denzel who was thought to be likely to be nominated by the outside world? Washington.

In fact, influential media outlets like "Vanity Fair" and "The Hollywood Reporter" can see articles that build momentum for Leonardo.

For example, after Duke was interviewed, he watched "The Hollywood Reporter" during the filming break, and there was a slightly exaggerated comment on it - if Leonardo couldn't win the statuette, the whole of Hollywood would go crazy!

Actor, star, producer, environmentalist, social activist...... Leonardo? DiCaprio has long been a winner in life, but he still has an Oscar missing from his roster.

This year's Oscar is Leonardo's fourth nomination for Best Actor, and the previous three times have passed by the award, so much so that every time the media reports the Oscars, they will say "Why can't Leonardo win the Oscar?" ”

Leonardo himself said in an interview after being nominated for an Oscar this year that whether he won the award or not was completely out of his control: "This is not the purpose of your filming, you love to make movies, and in the future, you will look back on this life, you will be proud of your big vote." Being recognized by your peers is like the cherry on the cake – I've done everything I'm supposed to do, and it's up to you whether it's worth seeing, discussing or not. ”

Look, he's very sober and calm.

Many celebrity actors have a headache with the privacy invasion of fame, but Leonardo thinks very clearly: "If I were to leave the acting industry, I would have quit a long time ago, I love making movies, I consider myself very lucky, so I am willing to sacrifice a lot of my personal life for it, because it is definitely worth it." I don't want to complain about the troubles of fame, because I have the freedom to stop when I want. ”

"How far is he from the little golden man this time?"

That's the last sentence of the review, but how far away is perhaps only clear to industry veterans.

The relationship between Duke and Leonardo has always been good, and every award season in which Xiao Li participates, is it a staunch Leonardo? DiCaprio supporters, this time is certainly no exception, and in previous contacts with Leonardo, I also know his latest developments.

Looking at Leonardo's achievements in this awards season, since the end of last year, he has won the Best Actor Award at the Chicago Film Critics Circle Awards, the Boston Film Critics Circle Awards, the Washington Film Critics Circle Awards, the American Critics' Choice Film Awards, and the Golden Globe Awards in the drama category.

He won the most film critics awards.

Twenty years ago, these awards would have given Leonardo a high chance of winning the Oscars.

However, the decline of film critics today is not just talking, it is not only happening in the summer, in this era when everyone is a film critic, the influence of professional film critics who are not members of the academy on the Oscars is also decreasing.

Leonardo is very far from the little golden man this time!

His biggest rival was Daniel, who starred in "Lincoln's Biography"? Wear? Lewis, who was not just Jewish, was the college's favorite actor and had never appeared in a commercial film......

Most importantly, at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Leonardo has already lost to Daniel? Wear? Lewis.

In addition to voting for Leonardo and the votes in the hands of the academy members on the team as much as possible, Duke's biggest preparation is how to comfort or tease Leonardo after waiting for him to accompany him again. (To be continued.) )
