Andrea Riseborough’s latest Oscar nomination has delighted followers — and seemingly perturbed the Academy.

On Friday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences introduced a evaluate of its personal marketing campaign insurance policies to find out if voting pointers “had been violated,” per People. Whereas it didn’t title her, the information got here simply three days after Riseborough’s sudden nod for greatest actress.

“We’re conducting a evaluate of the marketing campaign procedures round this year’s nominees, to make sure that no pointers had been violated,” it continued, “and to tell us whether or not adjustments to the rules could also be wanted in a brand new period of social media and digital communication.”

Although Riseborough had already obtained an Independent Spirit Awards nod for “To Leslie,” a drama centered on an alcoholic single mom on the finish of her rope, most Oscar analysts — and Riseborough herself — hadn’t thought-about her a front-runner for greatest actress this yr.

“I’m astounded,” she told Deadline shortly after the nomination. “It was so arduous to consider it’d ever occur as a result of we actually hadn’t been within the operating for anything. Though we had lots of help, the concept it’d truly occur appeared so distant.”

A lot of Riseborough’s friends — together with Edward Norton, Kate Winslet, Gwyneth Paltrow and Christina Ricci — had taken to social media earlier than the voting interval concluded to efficiently foyer for her nomination. Ricci was essentially the most outstanding star to double down after the evaluate was introduced.

“Appears hilarious that the ‘shock nomination’ (that means tons of cash wasn’t spent to place this actress) of a legitimately good efficiency is being met with an investigation,” she wrote in a now-deleted Instagram put up, per Deadline.

Nevertheless, Variety noted that an official “To Leslie” Instagram page might have violated Academy pointers two weeks in the past. A since-deleted put up quoted movie critic Richard Roeper likening the performances of Riseborough and Cate Blanchett, who’s nominated for her work in “Tár.”

In response to the foundations, “any tactic that singles out ‘the competitors’ by title or titles is expressly forbidden.” (By the way, Blanchett used her Critics Choice Awards win earlier this month to reward Riseborough.)

What’s extra, the rules solely enable film studios to buy one e-mail blast per week to advertise their movies — however the “To Leslie” marketing campaign despatched a minimum of three to voters, Selection reported.

Ought to the Academy rescind Riseborough’s nomination, simply 4 opponents would stay: Blanchett (“Tár”), Michelle Yeoh (“Every thing In every single place All at As soon as”), Ana de Armas (“Blonde”) and Michelle Williams (“The Fabelmans”).

The ninety fifth Academy Awards will air March 12 on ABC.
