The #wheresrey movement extends to Daisy Ridley not being asked to be a member of the Academy this year while John Boyega and Oscar Isaac were included.
I’mma stop you right there.
The Academy consists of several branches and there are different requirements for being invited/sponsored to the join.
Actors must have a minimum of three theatrical feature film credits, one of which was released in the past five years, or been nominated for an Academy Award in one of the acting categories, or have special merit/outstanding contribution.
John and Oscar have been in the business much longer than Daisy, have more acting credits, and have been nominated for and won prestigious awards.
Furthermore, John and Oscar are men of colour; Daisy’s not being treated unfairly in comparison to them considering that as a white person she has more opportunities.
Before these invites, there were more white women voters than there were ANY people of colour. The Academy was 93% white, 2% black, 2% Latino, 2% Asian, and .5 Native. 10% of the white voters were white women.
It’s still very white considering that they have 6,000 members, and only invited 683 new members.
Just the OP’s entitlement……
Who cares about all the POC that have been busting their asses for a smooth decade+ in an industry that has never catered to them in the least
Your white fave wasn’t invited, and that’s all that matters right?
