GAYLES.TV.- This morning, once again, we have attended the much vaunted ceremony of the delivery of the Oscar that comes to be like the presidential elections in the US, which
In theory, it should not affect us, but because of the account it brings, we are still more than our neighbors.
Given that the information about the awards will appear in all the media outlets that have already taken place, we will not go into a detailed detail here. We will review the main ones to be able to focus on a couple of issues that do affect us directly.
"Mad Max: fury on the road" directed by George Miller, has been the most awarded film with 6 statuettes, although paradoxically it is being one of the least mentioned because it is what is known as technical awards, editing, sound, etc. ... as if the cinema did not make it after all! the staff who work behind the scenes! The covers are taken away Leonardo DiCaprio which, after 5 nominations, has won his best actor Oscar for "The reborn" by Alejandro González Iñarritu that emulates John Ford and Joseph L. Mankewicz when obtaining his second Os
Consecutive car in the category of best director. The best film has finally relapsed "Spotlight" de Thomas McCarthy and better actress for B by "The room". So, Cate Blanchett has not picked up the coveted award for "Carol", which we do not question, but the fact that, inexplicably and at the last moment, a film like "Carol", directed by Todd Haynes, homosexual filmmaker and written by a lesbian screenwriter, Phyllis Nagy, will be out of the nominations for best film and director.
The LGTBI claim has come hand in hand with Sam Smith that has picked up the Oscar for best song by Writing's on the wall of the movie "Specter" by Sam Mendes. The singer has dedicated the award to the LGTBI community with the words: "I am here as a proud gay man and I hope that one day we will all be the same."
The other great recognition of the LGTBI cut production has been the Oscar for best supporting actress collected by Alicia Vikander for "The Danish Girl". But what has caused the most controversy, apart from accusations of racism and the sit-in of some African-American celebrities in the industry, has been the refusal of Anohni, leader of the Antony and the Johnsons group to participate in the ceremony despite his nomination for best song, next to J. Ralph, for “Manta Ray"Of"Racing Extinction". The trans creator has not been invited to perform during the evening, although the usual thing is that the subjects that choose a statuette are interpreted live. Of the 5 nominees 3 did act: Lady Gaga, The Weeknd and Sam Smith, having also been excluded David Lang. Yes, the leader of the Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl, which had no nomination.
Anohni has written a statement in which, among other things, she denounces "a system that has sought to disavow me, first for being effeminate as a child, and then as an androgynous transgender woman. It is a system of oppression and reduction of opportunities for the trans that the capitalism in the United States has used to crush our dreams".
The question of the position adopted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in front of LGTBI professionals should be reviewed with a magnifying glass and if necessary denounced before the public.
At the moment we want to give “Manta Ray” the recognition that the Academy has not granted, so we leave you with the video of the song and the beautiful images it illustrates. And also the song of Sam Smith by Writing's on the wall who has received the Oscar for the best song.
