The campaign for the British actress sparked a Hollywood debate after her surprise nomination.
She was nominated last week for best actress for To Leslie, a low-budget film in which she plays an alcoholic mother from Texas who tries to make ends meet after squandering her lottery winnings.
One since-deleted Instagram post that has been under the spotlight was published by the official To Leslie account. While there was no wrongdoing on the critic's part for expressing his opinion, it's possible that the To Leslie campaign could have got in trouble for choosing a quote that contrasted Riseborough with Blanchett.Similarly, actress Frances Fisher, who has appeared in Titanic and Gone In 60 Seconds, lobbied for Riseborough while implying Blanchett, Michelle Yeoh, Danielle Deadwyler and Viola Davis did not need more support because they were "a lock for their outstanding work".
Chinonye Chukwu, who wrote and directed Deadwyler's film Till, later accused Hollywood and wider society of "unabashed misogyny towards Black women".Tuesday's statement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences added: "The purpose of the Academy's campaign regulations is to ensure a fair and ethical awards process - these are core values of the Academy.
