Hollywood’s film academy said on Friday it was reviewing this year’s campaigns for Oscar nominations, a day after a media report raised questions about the surprise nod for British actress Andrea Riseborough.
On Tuesday, Riseborough was nominated for best actress for playing an alcoholic single mother in little-seen film To Leslie, a shock to awards pundits who had not expected her to be in the mix.
Media newsletter Puck reported on Thursday that the unexpected nomination had sparked questions about whether an aggressive campaign for Riseborough had violated lobbying rules set by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
