as just announced Oscar nominations 2023 continue to make the news, the controversy is back in the news. As a successful independent campaign, Andrea Riseborough averaged surprise Oscar nomination for his role in to leslie, the Academy investigated the matter to see if everything was in order. Recently, that matter was resolved, as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will not reverse Riseborough’s nomination. That said, it sparked plans to revise the campaign guidelines later.
In a press release compiled by Expiration AMPAS CEO Bill Kramer spoke about the recent turmoil resulting from the spiraling support for Andrea Riseborough that has poured in over the past few weeks. More importantly, Kramer and the Academy’s deliberation on the to leslie situation led to the following conclusion:
Based on concerns raised last week about the To Leslie awards campaign, the Academy has begun a review of the film’s campaign tactics. The Academy has determined that the activity in question does not meet the level for the cancellation of the film’s nomination. However, we have uncovered social media and awareness campaign tactics that have raised concerns. These tactics are handled directly with the responsible parties.
In addition to citing concerns about “a fair and ethical awards process,” the remainder of the Academy’s statement noted that there will be changes to guidelines made after the current awards season. This comes after the surrounding issue by Leslie shocking best actress was disgusted fervently defended by Christina Ricci and other followers of Andrea Riseborough. Judging by the intention to change the process accordingly, it doesn’t look like this problem will go away anytime soon.
In the weeks leading up to the 2023 Oscar nominations, a series of screenings and social media campaigns promoted Riseborough’s performance in director Michael Morris’ indie drama. Since production was so small that a traditional premium boost could not be afforded, this purely “grassroots” effort worked and ensured by Leslie only Oscar nomination.
It’s a story that goes back almost to Personal campaign by Melissa Leo/You win at the end for Best Supporting Actress in 2010 The wrestler. With the actress running her own commercials to get the role of her on the radar, it was a personal campaign to overcome the studio’s alleged ageism and campaign disinterest in the film.
Official decisions may have taken the side of to leslie according to the regulations, but the new intention to revise these statutes in the light of these events almost gives the impression that the Academy wants to prevent this from happening again. In a world where even the best photo ad can be ruined the nomination process seems to be the next hot topic when it comes to crowning the best in showbiz at the Oscars.
