The academy can cancel the best actress of ancient Oscar by Andrea Riseborough, says the initiate
It is possible that the last -minute campaign for the little -known film has broken a rule.
Oscar nominees for this year were announced on January 24 and one of the The most shocking heads has been Andrea Riseborough For the best actress. A big social media campaign for the star of the independent film In Leslie had started only about two weeks ago. But while the actors on the list sang his praises in the Instagram posts, it always seemed unlikely that Riseborough is one of the five names on The Academy's list .
The fact that the campaign worked was a hot topic of conversation among the faithful of the season of awards, because it was so little traditional and the unexpected appointment. But others called the wave of support leading to Riseborough's recognition while the black actors Viola Davis (to The king's woman ) and Danielle Deadwyler (to Up to ) were not, despite having been distinguished as a favorite earlier in the race.

Several A-Broans have praised Riseborough's performance on social networks.
The voting for this year's Oscars began on January 12 and lasted until January 17. It is at the same time that many famous actors have started to publish on the performance of Riseborough in In Leslie on social networks, which certainly did not seem to be a coincidence , especially since the film did not seem to be part of the Oscar conversation before. Some celebrities have even put their star power behind the independent drama by organizing projections. The famous faces that publicly supported Riseborough include Jennifer Aniston ,, Gwyneth Paltrow ,, Susan Sarandon ,, Edward Norton ,, and much more . AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB
According to Puck Newsletter, the actor Mary McCormack , who is married to In Leslie director Michael Morris , sent an email to celebrities asking them to Post on the movie and worked with the manager of Riseborough Jason Weinberg on the countryside. "If you are ready to publish every day by January 17, it would be incredible! But everything is useful, then do what makes you comfortable. And what is more comfortable than publishing a film every day!, "Part of his email would have read.
Oscar campaigns are bound by rules.
Puck reports that the campaign that led to the appointment of Riseborough Oscars may have broken a rule against lobbying.
"Contact the members of the Academy directly and in a way apart from the scope of these rules to promote a film or a production for the consideration of the Academy prices is expressly prohibited", the Academy rule film arts and sciences. The rules also include restrictions on projections and what can be included in shipments and emails.

The position of an actor would be examined.
By supporting Riseborough, actor Frances Fisher Maybe go against the Academy's directives. As Puck notes, the actor She wrote on Instagram , "To my colleagues #actors in @ theacademy…. #Andreariseborough can ensure a nomination #OScar if 218 (out of 1,302) actors in the branch of actors call it in first position for #Bestactress…. Michelle [Yeoh] , Danielle & Cate [Blanchett] are a lock for their exceptional work. ""
A rule of the academy declares: "ADS, shipments, websites, social media (including Facebook and Twitter) or any other form of public communication by anyone who is directly associated with an eligible film trying to launch a negative or derogatory light on A competing film where success will not be tolerated. ""
So, although this message seems to be written to dissuade voters from classifying one of the other women she mentioned above than Riseborough, if Fisher is not considered "directly associated" In Leslie , then she did not break the rule. If the Academy was to determine that it had, Fisher could face a "one year suspension of membership for the first violations".
The appointments have been canceled in the past.
If the appointment of Riseborough has been resumed, it will not be the first time that this has happened. As explained by the mental thread, there was Appointments revoked over the years . In 2014, "only Not Not Alone" of the film of the same name was out of the race for the best original song. Bruce Broughton , the song composer had sent emails to the members of the Academy, who was not authorized because he was a former member of the Governors' Council and member of the Executive Committee.
In 2017, four people were nominated for a better success in sound mix for 13 hours , but one of them, Greg P. Russell , was deleted for the "phone lobbying".
No one would replace Riseborough, however.
When an Oscar appointment is canceled, it is not replaced. "In the event that an designated achievement is declared inadmissible by the Academy, it will not be replaced and the category will remain with one more appointment", " The rules read .
So, if the appointment of Riseborough is revoked, there will only be four best actress nominees: Ana de Armas to Blond , Blanchett for Tar ,, Michelle Williams to Fabelmans , and yeoh for All everywhere at the same time .
