Rosie Perez- Oscar nom?


I can't believe she got nominated for an Oscar for this film. I thought she was the worst thing about it. Just a blubbering mess of a performance and her character came across as same-old same-old, we've seen that sort of character before.

Oscar nom should've gone to Bridges.

Rosie Perez: I haven't been invited back to the Oscars since I was a nominee in 1994

“Not even to sit in the audience, not to present, nothing—and I’m a member,” Perez tells Variety. “I love the Academy Awards. I cheer on my peers, but it hurts. It’s like when your home team doesn’t ask you to come back into the stadium after you got up to bat and hit the home run.” Perez thinks her omission stems from Hollywood's long neglect of Latinos. Only four of the 23 Oscar categories this year have some kind of Latino representation.
