Anya is a person of color, as is Banderas. Anya is white passing though and that’s the issue here. We cannot negate people’s actually races and heritages but we can call out then benefitting from being white Passing. It’s like Aubrey Plaza technically she is part Latin but she’s white passing, she has an exotic flare to her but you can also cast her in a (traditional) white film. So for me it has more to do with actual presentation and skin color than true race.

Spaniards like Antonio Banderas are white. Same with Rafael Nadal. Most Portugueses(like Cristiano Ronaldo) and Italians are white too
ReplyCopy URLI won’t even predict her to get nominated. This category is dedicated to white women and that is final. We need to focus on NAACP and BET because I don’t know how someone would think Michelle Williams is more deserving of a nomination than Danielle Deadwyler. A black woman can’t pull off the Andrea feat in a billion years a black woman has to give the greatest performance of all time in the best film of all time for people to agree she’s worthy. Now they nominate Tar in major categories to give Blanchett an unnecessary third win like they did with Mcdormand two years ago. They should rename it “best white actress in a leading role”.
I agree it’s impossible for black women. I think Halle Berry only won because she was super beautiful. “Old Oscar Voters loved Halle Berry”. About Andrea Riseborough and Black People: I think only Denzel Washington could do that. Denzel Washington could get an Oscar Nomination for walking
ReplyCopy URLThe bottom is, the industry does not view a leading role by a WOC as an Oscar-caliber performance, and that will be evident when/if Michelle Yeoh loses that Oscar for another boring Oscar bait performance by a white woman. And the one time they did, it was by a biracial woman – one with at least one white parent. The movie industry is the most transparent group of elitists. And people here just need to stop using that “De Armas is a WOC” just to discredit the obvious. She can pass for white, and the fact that she’s playing a white American icon is enough to support that.
I agree
