Pacino, Hanks, Hopkins: this year’s Oscar and Bafta male acting categories feature the same old faces. Is it time for a youth rebellion?

It is hardly breaking news that Hollywood skews towards white males, but looking down this awards season’s acting nominations, a certain kind of white male dominates: basically you have got a choice between old and older.

They can act, unlike those who sleep their way top top now. Male and female.

Do young men act?

Fucking hell, there's always something to complain about with you isn't there? Find a problem where there isn't one.

They are too busy raking in the cash in movies where they are not required to act ........ boring

Simply because they are the best.

Christ.

Ageist Guardian journos, even your newspaper is very old. So old that hardly anyone reads it.

Boomers the lot of them OKBoomer

Because they’re good?

Because the best movies of the year were about old people.

Because they are very good?

Are you kidding? Look back at the last century of Hollywood. Almost all major Hollywood actors have been 30s-60s in their best roles (Stewart, Bogart, Newman, Hoffman, Streep, Hayworth, Bergman to name a few). If anything, celebs have gotten younger the last few decades.

Cuz all yung unz are shit innit, bruh

Coz with age, comes a wealth of acting experience.

What a moronic article.

Good. Time that there were more older roles, and the craze with glamour-boys is over. Surely more diversity is the natural Guardian position. Also, old people have the best stories by far, and scriptwriters are simply living too long.

And they are playing rather comfy, familiar roles as well.

Attacking the old now.Who will it be next week?

You would never, ever write the same thing about women, would you? Hypocrisy.

Let teenagers play old men. Sure. Problem solved.

Young people are really really dull in comparison.

ja wat...leonardo dicaprio is not so old...

Because they had a renaissance in the twilight of their careers. There. Just answered your question without the need for a machevillian, sanctimonious, pompous article with an ageist agenda

Maybe they're just better? Stop being so ageist, Guardian.

These actors are magnificent and the sole process of understanding the experiences of life, set knowledge, the openness for different view points, maturity, capacity of hard work, constant curiosity and a craft like no other makes them always candidates. The advantages of aging.

Rebelion won't make young actors worthy of an award. Talent will, hard work and careful career moves.

Why are they all old? – Get new actors. Why are they all white? – Get actors from other races. Why are they all God worshipers? – Get actors from other creeds. Why are they all straight? – Get LGBT+ actors. Why no disabled actors? – We give up.

Hey maybe bc old men make up those who get to choose? Kinda like the republican senate

Yeah why exactly....

Guessing the nomination panel is dominated by old men.

Maybe coz they've acted better.

Old white males are getting all the roles. 🤷‍♂️

Eye have no patience for young men. A man knows nothing before 50. And even then, I’d say it’s probably more like 60-65. Women are man’s guide for the first decades of his life. We’re just not equipped to process a technologically-advanced society the way women weigh. LoveDaddy

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Male nominees are old that hurts

We get better with age. I thought we’d covered this?

The real lives behind 'shocking' migrant storiesWhy a film director feels compelled to tell desperate stories of migrants escaping their countries. And yet people’s response is still “send them home”. I wonder what happened to human compassion? You see someone struggling or trying to escape a situation do you just tell them to stay there? If you see a man hitting his partner in the street would you just ignore it? people escape from their terrible country but then carry on the journey risking their lives to reach the UK ... why? I find that no human account is 100% perfect, especially not of unaccompanied migrant children speaking a different language. It is not necessarily due to lack of credibility but rather no human mind can recollect events precisely as per how it occurred every time it is retold.
