the reason the rooney mara thing pissed off so many people was because they didnt even let any native actresses audition for the role. native actresses exist!!! the revenant had plenty of them

i haven't seen straight outta compton or creed, but i've heard good things both of them and it's extremely unfair when they only get nominated for one award each

another issue is that the academy is filled with old white men and they're biased to other white people and it's unfair

yeah because the majority of films that have been nominated for the academy have been about white men

yeah the entire thing with eddie redmayne was stupid imo, people will argue that you should have a cis person play someone who's trans because they aren't transitioned, but you could just use makeup for the trans actor/actress, and it's easier to cast somebody who's trans because they could understand their character's issues more

this year carol was nominated for a lot of awards, and that's about a lesbian couple in the 50's i wish it was nominated for best picture tho

and three years ago blue is the warmest colour came out, and that's about a lesbian couple, and it was nominated for a lot of cesar awards (the french equivalent to the oscars)

but still the majority of movies are still hetero couples, but hopefully in the future there will be more diversity especially since future filmmakers are hopefully noticing the lack of it
