After TillMovie was snubbed by the Oscars, director Chinonye Chukwu called out racism and misogyny in the film industry. 'Industries that are so aggressively committed to upholding whiteness and perpetuating an unabashed misogyny towards Black women.'
Till director Chinonye Chukwu calls out the racism and misogyny behind her Oscar snub. Chukwu’s feature film Till follows the true story of Black activist Mamie Till-Mobley who seeks justice after the brutal murder of her son Emmett Till in 1955. Till is Chukwu’s second feature film, the first of which being the Sundance-winning Clemency in 2019.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Chukwu responds to this Oscar snub in a recent post on Instagram. Check it out, below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chinonye Chukwu In her post, Chukwu referred to “industries” that “are so committed to upholding whiteness and perpetuating an unabashed misogyny towards Black women.” Chukwu also expressed that, despite these challenges, she seeks to “cultivate [her] own joy.
Till’s Best Actress snub is particularly jarring amid the growing controversy of the Best Actress category. When the Oscar nominations were announced last week, one particular nomination stood out even more than the snubs: Andrea Riseborough’s nomination for Best Actress for To Leslie. To Leslie is a film that few people had heard of and even fewer had seen.
Who Else Was Snubbed at the Oscars? Beyond the Best Actress category, the Oscars made a number of other snubs this year. Notably, the Best Director category did not include any women, snubbing Chukwu as well as fellow female directors Sarah Polley for Women Talking and Charlotte Wells for Aftersun.
