Carey Mulligan is among British celebrities who teamed with Time's Up U.K. in drawing up their own list of BAFTA nominations following this year's diversity controversy. Details:
“The awards season is upon us and while there are some great films and outstanding performances nominated, there have been glaring omissions," same Dame Heather Rabbatts, Time's Up U.K. chair. "The lack of diversity both at the Golden Globes and now at the BAFTAS has been the subject of criticism from across the media and from talent. It could be said that the debate itself is a manifestation of all the work Time's Up U.K.
Rabbatts said she wanted to ensure that the BAFTA awards didn't pass without the movement raising the profile of those whose "endeavors and performances" didn't land them a nomination, so would be launching a social media campaign that would "highlight those who are absent" while not taking away from those who had been nominated.
"We congratulate all of those nominated and we all know the hard work and total commitment to achieve this accolade. But alongside, there are others who should be standing on that carpet. We really hope you will join with us in celebrating the rich and diverse roster of talent before us. This ‘invisibility’ is even more shocking given the choices which were available and the strength of films and performances where Black talent was apparent this year.
