If you’re wondering why Gina Prince-Bythewood’s film “The Woman King” – which stars Oscar winner Viola Davis and garnered an A+ Cinemascore – was shut out of the Oscars race this year, you’re not alone. In a first-person article for The Hollywood Reporter published on Tuesday, Prince-Bythewood reflected on the exclusion of her film by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences , which she says left her “disappointed.
” The director – who was behind 2000’s “Love & Basketball” and 2020’s “The Old Guard” – also made reference to the controversy surrounding Andrea Riseborough’s surprise nomination for best actress, which some felt led to Davis being left out of the category. “My issue with what happened is how people in the industry use their social capital – screenings in their homes, personal calls, personal emails, personal connections, elevated status,” Prince-Bythewood wrote.
Everyday she makes no sense, if what she was claiming was true. Babylon would be sitting pretty with 14 Nominations.
Maybe it wasn't good enough.
That's easy, because she's not good enough.
Maybe cause it sucked?
Because it sucked?
Literally no one.
Its such a strong competition
The story exposed their evil dealings and racism!
johniadarola Personally I loved the movie. Thought it was great. I don't really care about the Oscars. This director sounds like a whiny little &*^%. Who cares? Why do you need an Oscar to fulfill your artistic expression? You are taking away from your art, and giving them your power.
Better films, it was based on a kingdom who murdered tribes so they can sell the women and children to slavers.
oh the humanity!! she didn't' get to join the Oscars self congratulatory circle jerk.
We know why.
You’re talking about an organization that gave best picture to Titanic at one point. They have no taste. Let’s leave it at that
It was shite and who wants to celebrate a slave trading queen anyway.
Because it was a shitty movie?
All Demcrats left in Hollywood so it must be racism, misogyny and white supremacy.🤣🤡🤡🤣
I wasn't wondering at all but it must be racism you fools
Because it was awful.
Racism, because is about Africa.
Hollywood is systemically racist and beyond repair. It should be abolished and the proceeds donated to non-profits.
Nobody is wondering, it was a terrible movie.
