Charlotte Rampling: Oscars Diversity Boycott 'Racist to Whites'


“One can never really know, but perhaps the black actors did not deserve to make the final list," says Best Actress nominee


Charlotte Rampling, a Best Actress Academy Awards nominee for her performance in drama 45 Years, has weighed in on the Oscars diversity boycott, saying the backlash over an all-white acting nominee list is "racist to whites." "One can never really know, but perhaps the black actors did not deserve to make the final list," Rampling told French Radio network Europe 1 on Friday, The Guardian reports.

Asked whether the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences should introduce a diversity quota, the actress responded, "Why classify people? These days everyone is more or less accepted ... People will always say: 'Him, he's less handsome'; 'Him, he’s too black'; 'He is too white' ... someone will always be saying 'You are too' [this or that] ... But do we have to take from this that there should be lots of minorities everywhere?"


Presented with the reality that many African-Americans feel like minorities in the film industry, Rampling offered a "no comment."


Following this year's Oscar nomination announcements, which spawned the popular hashtag #OscarsSoWhite, controversy rippled throughout the industry. Both Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith announced they would boycott the event, and Oscars president Cheryl Boone Isaacs admitted she's "heartbroken and frustrated by the lack of inclusion."

"This is a difficult but important conversation, and it's time for big changes," Isaacs said in a statement. "The Academy is taking dramatic steps to alter the makeup of our membership. In the coming days and weeks we will conduct a review of our membership recruitment in order to bring about much-needed diversity in our 2016 class and beyond."


For the second straight year, all 20 Academy Award acting nominees are white. Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárittu, Mexico-born director of Best Picture nominee The Revenant, is the only minority in any major category.

The boycott even earned commentary from Donald Trump during an interview with Fox & Friends. "This is not one of those years, but over the years I've seen numerous black actors and African-American actors receive Academy Awards, and I think that's great," he said.

The Republican frontrunner also addressed Oscars criticisms from Al Sharpton, who'd previously stated, "Hollywood is like the Rocky Mountains: the higher up you get, the whiter it gets. And this year’s Academy Awards will be yet another Rocky Mountain Oscars."

"When Al Sharpton's jumping up and down, people say, 'Well, give me a break. I think it's really sad. And Al is just a guy who wants to get publicity for himself,'" Trump said. "And I understand him very well."

Charlotte Rampling Says Oscars ‘Boycott’ Is ‘Racist Against Whites’

PARIS — Charlotte Rampling, an Academy Award nominee for best actress, on Friday waded into the furor over the lack of diversity in the Oscar acting categories, saying that the supposed calls to boycott the ceremony was itself “racist against whites.”

Speaking fluent French in an interview with France’s Europe 1 radio, the British actress said that one would “never really know” how the Academy makes its decisions, and that “sometimes maybe black actors didn’t deserve to make the shortlist.”

This week, the director Spike Lee and the actress Jada Pinkett Smith said they would not be attending the Feb. 28 Oscars ceremony in protest of the all-white slate of acting nominees. Mr. Lee later clarified that he was not calling for a boycott, but he suggested that Hollywood studios institute a policy similar to the N.F.L.’s requirement that teams interview minority candidates for head coach and senior staff jobs.



Ms. Rampling — who is a member of the Academy and thus eligible to vote on Oscar awards — said she disagreed with quotas. “We live now in countries where anyway people are more or less accepted,” she said. “There are always problems: ‘He’s less handsome’ or ‘He’s too black’ or ‘He’s too white.’ There will always, always be someone who will say, ‘Oh, you’re too ….’ What are we going to do? We’re going to classify all that to create thousands of little minorities everywhere?”

Asked what she thought of the fact that so many minority performers still feel that they lack the recognition they deserve, Ms. Rampling gave a crisp “no comment.”

The backlash online was swift, with commenters like Cameron Bailey, the artistic director of the influential Toronto International Film Festival, and others also suggesting that Academy members may privately agree with her.

Ms. Rampling, 69, is up for an Oscar for her performance in Andrew Haigh’s “45 Years,” about a couple whose 45th wedding anniversary is clouded by news from the past. Writing in The Times, A. O. Scott called the film “sensitive and devastating.” The film was released in France this week.

Here’s a translation of what Charlotte Rampling said on Europe 1 Radio:

Q. This year the Oscars are beset by polemics: No black actor or actress in the selection for the second year in a row. Do you understand the anger of, for instance, Spike Lee, who called for a boycott of the ceremony?

A. No. I find that goes in the other direction: it’s racist against whites.

Really?

Yes. We can never know if it’s really the case. Sometimes maybe black actors didn’t deserve to make the shortlist.

He explains that he wants to instate quotas for minorities in American cinema so that they can make it into the selection.

Why classify people? We live now in countries where anyway people are more or less accepted. There are always problems: ‘He’s less handsome’ or ‘He’s too black’ or ‘He’s too white.’ There will always, always be someone who will say, ‘Oh, you’re too…’ What are we going to do? We’re going to classify all that to create thousands of little minorities everywhere?

The fact that they still feel like a minority, that doesn’t speak to you? They feel like a minority. They say, ‘We’re black actors and we still don’t really exist.’

No comment.

I mean people are indirectly saying she's not deserving of her nomination, I expect her to be a little defensive.

She really should've used a different argument though.

On the sun- drenched palm- fringed paradise island of Haiti at the end of the 1970s, Brenda, Ellen and Sue, three North American women, look for flirtation, relaxation and respite from their mundane jobs and marriages. They find exactly what they are looking for in Legba, an enigmatic local Adonis-like boy, whose beauty and passion captivates them all and who leads them away from the gilded cage of tourism and opens their eyes to the poverty and dangers of living in Haiti in the midst of the "Baby Doc" Duvalier dictatorial regime.
