After a review of her best actress Oscar nomination, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has decided to keep Andrea Riseborough’s nomination.
The review was prompted by questions swirling around Riseborough’s nomination for her performance in the film “Shadow of the Sun”. The Washington Post, CBS News, CNN, and The Times all reported on the controversy surrounding the nomination, with some arguing that another actress, Danielle Deadwyler, was more deserving of the nod.
However, an expert on the Academy Awards told CBS News that it was unlikely that the Academy would revoke Riseborough’s nomination.
“The Academy has a long history of honoring performances that have been questioned,” the expert said.
Riseborough’s nomination has been met with both praise and criticism from fans and industry professionals alike. While some have argued that she was the most deserving of the nomination, others have argued that Deadwyler was robbed of the recognition.
No matter the outcome, this controversy has sparked a debate about the Oscars and the Academy’s nomination process. It remains to be seen if the Academy will make any changes to its nomination process in the wake of this controversy.
