1) Andrea Riseborough gave a great performance in To Leslie, and whatever the upshot here, she should not be penalised. However, I also agree that Danielle Deadwyler was terrific, and should probably have been nominated. Why not expand the categories, akin to what happens with the Best Picture category?

I am of the belief that movies have to get viewers in the seats: Not the other way around.

If you make the umpteenth film in the past few years showing some horrific event to the Black community, it might not be appealling except for white guilt. Hey, I'm not going to watch a graphic film about the Bosnian genocide in most cases.

My point is that Deadwyler's film was less attractive then

The point people are saying that Andrea Riseborough is rich and connected in Hollywood, seriously? How many Andrea Riseborough tabloid shots do you see at parties?

Viola Davis, the other snubbee, has worked with Stephen Soderbergh, Michael Douglas, Emma Stone, Robert Redford, Denzel Washington, Tom Cruise, Julianne Moore, Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, and more
