Last year Ke Huy Quan won the Oscar, SAG, GG, CC, Gotham, Spirit & 52 critics awards including the trifecta (NYFCC,LAFCA,NSFC).

Bafta was the only major group that snubbed him.

This year the only viable supporting actor contender of colour didn't even make their LONGlist.

BS. https://t.co/ix3WqG3ATb pic.twitter.com/y7Y2maTj7K

Not surprised cause I remember it being pointed out that Denzel Washington has never been nominated at the BAFTAs. BAFTAs are wild!

Since 2010!! Apparently all the royals have been President for except for Richard Attenborough who William succeeded!

Presidents
1959-1965 HRH Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh
1966-1972 The Earl Mountbatten of Burma
1972-2000 HRH Princess Anne (1987 - HRH The Princess Royal)
2002-2010 Lord Attenborough
2010-present HRH Prince William (2011 - The Duke of Cambridge; 2022 - The Prince of Wales)

Seems weird to give it to the royals....what do they know about film???

That list is so Posh and White Colonist lol. Even Richard Attenborough has to be listed as LORD Attenborough.

I'm pretty sure it's a title in name only. The executive director or similar probably makes most of the decisions.

They never nominated Morgan Freeman either.
