Movie starJoker” Joaquin Phoenix won the nomination “Best Actor“at the prestigious British ceremony last night BAFTA 2023. However, referring to the audience and the audience, he announced that he was experiencing “conflicting feelings.”
Such emotions are due to the fact that mainly white actors were represented in the nominations. Phoenix announced the presence of oppression and racism in the industry, which must be combated.
“It is a great honor for me to be here today, I am very grateful to BAFTA. But at the same time, I have conflicting feelings, because many of my fellow actors who deserve to stand here do not have such privileges. I think that we send very clear people to color people signal: you are not welcome here.
And I do not think that anyone wants a special relationship. People just want to be recognized, appreciated and respected for their work. “
Phoenix emphasized that, due to the circumstances, is also “part of the problem”.
“We have to do a great job to really deal with systemic racism. I believe that people who created and perpetuated the oppression system and then benefited from it should become those who destroy it. This is our task!”
The hall met the actor’s words with applause.
Previously, Phoenix has repeatedly talked about the problem of discrimination of colored people. Once he even declared the presence of “latent racism” among the majority of whites.
“Joker” became the highest-grossing movie rated R in the history of cinema.
