I think it was rather shitty of the Academy to not invite Karla Sofia Gascon to join the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences.
They’ve invited Mikey Madison, Kieran Culkin, Ariana Grande, Dave Bautista, Jodie Comer, Jason Momoa, Aubrey Plaza, Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong, Gillian Anderson, Stephen Graham, Andrew Scott, and Danielle Deadwyler.
But they’ve snubbed a Spain-residing trans actress because she tweeted a few wrong things in the early 2020s. Thr Academy did so out of fear (i.e.,lack of backbone)..
“41% of the new invitees are women,” it says here. “45% are from underrepresented communities and 55% are from 60 countries and territories outside the United States,” blah blah.
How many straight white guys did they invite? Just curious.
This latest mass invitation signifies an overall AMPAS membership of 35% women, 22% underrepresented communities and 21% international.
