Danielle Deadwyler says racism and misogynoir played a role in this year's Academy Awards nominations, where she and Viola Davis were overlooked in the best actress category.
Going into Oscar nominations last month, Deadwyler was widely seen as a likely nominee for her lauded performance as Mamie Till-Mobley in “Till.” But the best actress field, perhaps the most competitive category this year, didn't shake out as expected: Both Deadwyler and Davis were left out.
Asked for her reaction to that comment on an episode of the “Kermode & Mayo's Take” podcast posted on Friday, Deadwyler strongly agreed with Chukwu. “I think the question is more on people who are living in whiteness, white people's assessment of the spaces they are privileged by,” added Deadwyler. “We've seen it exist in a governmental capacity - it can exist on a societal capacity, be it global or national.”
But conversation has continued on how money, race, status and connections can influence awards campaigns. “The Woman King” director Gina Prince-Bythewood said earlier this week that she questioned how people in the film industry are using their social capital.
