like the woman king that came out and to hear that so many voters didn't even watch it, to have viola davisnting. and the fact that we didn't see women directors like gina prince—bythewood from the woman king actually up there in the nominations list, that kind of... it kind of hurt me. i have to say, i felt very emotional about this because i thought that there were films to say of films like til and danielle deadwyler, people who could have been in these nominations who totally were snubbed. and that felt really sad for me. getting angela bassett actually into that into that list feels good. whether she will win or not, i don't know. but i'm really rooting for her because there are lots of people who should should have won over the years. michelle yeoh, for example, as well. a little earlier, we interviewed paul armstrong, former editor of match of the day, and he suggested that the chairman of the bbc facilitated a for borisjohnson, just to say mr sharp has denied any involvement in the arrangements of a loan for mrjohnson, the bbc has conducted an internal review mr sharp may have in hi

problem with this nomination it's snubbed nomination is that it's snubbed two other actresses, viola davis of emmett till. he was back to the civil rights movement and he was brutally murdered. so then we have this whole big campaign again about oscarssowhite, but to be honest, i think this is going to be a big year for diversity because everywhere, all at once is up for a staggering 11 nominations. and i predict michelle yeoh will win . and if she wins, she will win. and if she wins, she will be the first asian actress to win an oscar. she really first won. so there's a of pressure there. and, you know i think this is her year and this other people in the cast as well such as stephanie shu who is up for best supporting actress and i want to pronounce his name . want to pronounce his name. okay, we won't . he was a child okay, we won't. he was a child actor. he starred in indiana jones and he's also up for best supporting actor . so i jones and he's also up for best supporting actor. so i think it could be a big night for asian talent, which would be refreshing . see, another thing refresh
