Viola Davis and others thank Joaquin Phoenix for his BAFTA speech
Phoenix won the best actor award for his portrayal of the Joker at this year’s British Academy Film Awards and when he came up to the podium to accept his award, he unleashed on the lack of diversity of those nominated for awards. He said while he was “honored” to be presented with the award, he was also “conflicted” about other deserving actors and actresses of color who were ignored by the academy.

“I think that we send a very clear message to people of color that you’re not welcome here. I think that’s the message that we’re sending to people that have contributed so much to our medium and our industry and in ways that we benefit from,” Phoenix said.
When the British Academy announced this year’s nominees, there were no actors or actresses of color in the four-film lead or supporting actor or actress categories. Additionally, the British Academy failed to nominate a single female director, leaving five white men vying for the title.
The Oscar nominees followed the same disturbing trend, with mostly white men leading each of the major award categories.
