At the 2023 Ceremony, Not One Person of Colour Won a BAFTA

www.popsugar.co.uk, February 19, 2023
If facing backlash over a lack of diversity at the 2020 BAFTAs, which was called out at the time by "Joker" lead Joaquin Phoenix during the ceremony, you might have guessed that the BAFTAs had gathered together. Sadly, this was not the case for this year's exhibition; incredibly, no one of colour received an award. Following outrage three years ago for mainly white candidates, BAFTA Chair Krishnendu Majumdar, who is stepping down this year, told Variety that the Academy will be embarking on "whole cultural transition." "We want to have a positive influence on the wider economy, but we need to make our own house in order," he said. With a pledge to new committee members and a time limit for studio campaigns, proactive steps were taken, but any concerns that these would not be carried out quickly or strenuously enough may have been unfounded. Although there was little criticism of the 2023 BAFTA nominees, inclusion did not make it to the winners list. The ceremony was dominated by wins from "All Quiet on the Western Front," "Elvis," and "The Banshees of Inisherne." Although these films were obviously worthy recipients, it was soon apparent that people of color were barred from the highest accolades. For example, Viola Davis was nominated for "The Woman King," Angela Bassett for "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," and "Good Luck to You, Leo Grande." These are only a few of the talented names that were just as deserving of taking home a statue.

Anya Taylor-Joy wowed in a champagne-colored minidress and shawl, Cynthia Erivo made a stunning entrance in a bronze dress with a high neckline, and Lily James chose a white Tamara Ralph gown with a plunging crystal-and pearl-embellished neckline.

Nicola Coughlan Stuns in a Black PVC Dress Dubbed a "Latex Masterpiece"

www.popsugar.co.uk, February 17, 2023
Can we all take a moment to appreciate Nicola Coughlan's custom-made Christopher Kane dress? On February 16, the "Bridgerton" actress stepped out sporting the piece of "PVC perfection," as she referred to it on Instagram, to win the best newcomer award at the Newport Beach Film Festival. Though the Irish actor has a tradition of nailing red carpet looks (such as the blue ruffled tulle dress for the Tiffany & Co anniversary or her Barbie-core BAFTA gown), this latest look seems to be a new direction for Coughlan. The black patent midi dress, styled by Aimée Croysdill, had a flattering fit and flare shape, with white tulle shoulder detail. To complete the look, Jimmy Choo heels and Tasaki jewellery were added. Neil Young gave the actor a peach smokey eye and used the Mac Retro Matt Liquid Lipstick in Gemz and Roses to give a hint of subtly sexy to the monochrome look, while Patrick Wilson kept her hair in a middle part and left it loose with a thin matte finish to complement the fetish formalwear.

Naomi Ackie Looks Like Whitney Houston in "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," but Is She Singing?

www.popsugar.co.uk, December 22, 2022
Naomi Ackie, Ashton Sanders, and Stanley Tucci appear in Kasi Lemmons' latest film "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" as the iconic Whitney Houston and the influential people in her life. Ackie is a natural performer in Houston, and she does a great job at it. Not only do the two look strikingly alike, Ackie portrays many of Houston's demeanors, her triumph, and, above all, her ability to change the game of music forever. With such similar appearances, it's unclear if the voice is included. Though Ackie makes the perfect person to pick up the role of Houston, is she actually belting out the songs featured in the movie? The short answer is no. Ackie's portrayal of Houston was spot on, according to mastermind music producer Clive Davis, but Houston's authentic voices would be used throughout the film. Davis, a singer who helped bring Houston to fame, knew the singer for more than half of her life, but she also knew it would be difficult to duplicate her talent and singing skills. "We didn't think anyone could capture her vocal genius," Davis told USA Today in May 2021, "we didn't expect it to be the Whitney voice in the film."
