i’m so tired of the way black actors are slept on while white actors get praised for the blandest, barest minimum. people like daniel kaluuya and ashton sanders really are in every way what you all thought tim charlemagne and adam diving board are. the sheer range daniel displayed between get out, black mirror, widows, and black panther? the subtlety ashton showed in 1/3 of moonlight ALONE!? and the problem is tenfold for black women because most of the time they’re not given a chance or they’re treated like shit (ie nicole beharie) unless they’re pre-established or pigeonholed into mammy/white savior/slavery era roles like viola davis, octavia spencer, and cyntia erivo. lupita nyong’o literally gave the best performance of 2019 and played TWO CHARACTERS IN ONE MOVIEEEEEE!!! a movie that literally changed the game for its genre!!!!!!! to near fucking crickets from the midsommar crowd who thought florence pew was doing something new crying in a flower crown!!!!

scarjo emoted for 5 minutes in the marriage story and she got academy nominations and everyone on this site swore she invented acting?!?!?! and mr chlamydia has sharp cheekbones i guess? and adam d shed a tear while committing patricide or yelling “every day i wake up” so now we gotta see them in every high profile movie from now until 2025.
