Protesters gather at Academy headquarters after David Oyelowo says Oscar voters snubbed Selma over cast's activism
“Members of the Academy called in to the studio and our producers saying, ‘How dare they do that? Why are they stirring s–-?’ and ‘We are not going to vote for that film, because we do not think it is their place to be doing that,'” Oyelowo toldActress Aunjanue Ellis, Milauna Jackson, Tanayi Seabrook and Stephanie Lacey orchestrated the gathering to provide a space for willing performers to sing, read poetry, dance, speak and express themselves.
“All this pushback and hatred for myself has helped to empower me, actually,” one speaker said. “Because I realize, and we all know, that don’t nobody try to keep a thumb down on nothing or try to push back on something they think is less than them. So let’s be clear about that, as we are feeling the emotions and getting upset… that we don’t make it lose sight of our personal value.”
“The idea of a good and bad cop needs to go. There are good and bad people who may have taken on the uniform, but the job cannot have those options when people’s lives are at stake,” another speaker said to applause.
