Just days after nominations for this year’s Oscars were unveiled, the Academy announced on Friday that it is “conducting a review” of this year’s nominees to make sure none of them violated the organization’s rules around campaigning.
The actor received a groundswell of support from A-listers for her role in the otherwise little seen “To Leslie.”
While there have been plenty of surprise nods in the past, Riseborough’s out-of-left-field nomination for a film that earned just $27,000 at the box office — alongside widely predicted nods for Cate Blanchett , Michelle Williams , Ana de Armas and Michelle Yeoh — set tongues wagging throughout Hollywood. Fueling the attention to Riseborough’s nod wereof Viola Davis and Danielle Deadwyler , who were both considered strong contenders, from the final five.
Even as it announced its review, however, the academy noted, “We have confidence in the integrity of our nomination and voting procedures, and support genuine grassroots campaigns for outstanding performances.”
