Those BAFTA nominations are beyond a joke. It’s not funny to ignore the creative efforts of women and PoC artists. It’s not a hashtag. It’s another reminder that this industry does not welcome or want us and does not think we are good enough.

When Margot Robbie and Scarlett Johansson each get two noms, over names like Lupita Nyong'o, Jennifer Lopez, Awkwafina and Cynthia Erivo — or talent in British films like Marianne Jean-Baptiste or BIFA winner Ruthxjiah Bellenea — it makes BAFTA look almost stubbornly limited.

Today is the final day of voting for Academy Awards nominations. And the BAFTA nominations were just announced. Once again artists of color & women are woefully missing.For Your Consideration: Director- Chinonye Chukwu (CLEMENCY), Greta Gerwig (LITTLE WOMEN),Mati Diop (ATLANTICS)
