BAFTA nominations receive backlash as no actor in colour makes it to list

Deccan Chronicle  

London: British Academy of Films and Television Arts earlier on Tuesday had unveiled the list of nominees to run in the upcoming award race but the online commentators are already in anger as not a single person of colour was nominated in the main acting categories. The list has satisfied the movie enthusiasts by fairly giving huge space to the films that one would predict like 'Joker', 'The Irishman' and many more. BAFTA acknowledged the issue, and said, "We'd have liked to have seen more diversity in the nominations, it does continue to be an industry-wide issue," cited The Hollywood Reporter. Margot is nominated in the best supporting actor for 'Bombshell' and 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', while Scarlett in leading actor category for 'Marriage Story' and supporting actor for 'Jojo Rabbit.'
