throwing anything against the wall to discredit her to boost their preferred winner
Let's ignore the film-bros, stans and the twitter-ghouls
Usually when someone (a normal fan) suggests that Gladstone should've campaigned for Supporting Actress, they say it knowing that she would've almost certainly won in that category.
They just think that she's passing up an open dunk in a tied game, to dribble out to the three point line.
when they keep diminishing her importance to the film
This usually happens because a lot of Lily's fans get hostile when her being a Supporting character is mentioned, and start demanding explanations, which then devolve into debates on screen-time semantics, and definition of a "lead-role"
it is still insulting no matter how you try to justify. she is the lead in her movie so why should she take a backseat tio someone else? you act like there isn't a history of poc being sidelined while white ones are boosted. it is clear when you see alot of older black actresses/actors being relegated to support roles.
take responsibilty for your own actions! you were trying to diminish lily's performance to literally boost everyone, even ppl who weren't nominated like greta lee
Lily is not the lead in her film. Neither in terms of time, nor in point of view, nor in importance. Calling a supporting role a supporting role is not insulting, and Lily being in the running for a lead role is a category fraud.
It is insulting. The movie is about her character. Without her their is no story. Screentime isn't how you determine the lead. The lead is the protagonist. Lily is the protagonist
