Michelle Rodriguez has some, um, interesting thoughts about the Academy Awards.
The actress was recently interviewed at the Cannes Film Festival, where Rodriguez raved about Nicole Kidman’s performance in the much buzzed-about The Paperboy.
Rodriguez is quoted in Vulture as saying, “I f**king loved it. One of my friends said, ‘She’s going to get nominated for an Oscar for that.’ I was like, ‘Nah, man. She’s not black!’”
She reportedly continued, “I laugh, but it’s also very sad. It makes me want to cry. But I really believe. You have to be trashy and black to get nominated. You can’t just be trashy.”
Well then.
What do you think of Rodriguez’s commentary on Oscar-worthy roles?
