To Leslie, the small indie movie that took in just 27,000 at the box office, has been making headlines in recent weeks for its passionate Oscars campaign.
Cate Blanchett singled out Andrea Riseborough’s lead performance while accepting an award for her own film Tár. Edward Norton wrote an entire Twitter thread about her “physically harrowing” portrayal. And Kate Winslet called Riseborough’s turn “the greatest female performance on screen I have ever seen in my life”.
Last week, it was announced that Riseborough had secured a Best Actress nomination for her role in the film, as a spiralling single mother who wins the lottery.
The Academy then launched a review into campaign procedures, and the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite began to trend on social media, with some pointing out that actors Viola Davis (The Woman King) and Danielle Deadwyler (Till) had been snubbed in the nominations.
Riseborough will not have her nomination stripped,...
