Hey now. Meryl has said publicly several times throughout the course of the awards season that she thought Viola deserved that award, and has done nothing but praised her both as an artist and a person. Pitting the two individuals (and friends) against each other, or demonizing Meryl is not going to get anyone’s point across. It’s true that Meryl has miles more opportunities than Viola and always has, that’s why she’s gotten so many chances to be nominated to awards (and will continue to). But that is not solely the fault of Meryl. Viola is an amazing actor and goes above and beyond in every role she’s won, Meryl herself has said as much, and a whole lot needs to change so that people can see her and other Actors Of Color for the talent that they are. I understand wanting to throw shade, but if you want to throw shade at some one, throw it at the producers, writers, and directors that aren’t making movies for POC actors, hell, throw shade at the actors turned producers/writers/and directors who have worked with and befriended POC actors over the years but when the time comes to put up projects under their own names they seem to forget all about them.
