Riseborough was nominated for "Best Actress in a Leading Role" at this year's Oscars.

Her surprising nomination may have caused the Academy to review its campaign procedures.

She starred in "To Leslie," which grossed only $27,000 at the box office.

However, many noticed that black stars like Viola Davis and Danielle Deadwyler were snubbed despite big performance.

The Academy released a statement confirming that they ensure the Oscars' fairness.

[{"selector":"#anim-0a32caf7-ae49-40bc-9809-ef3d7a156e6b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fc6b0fad-6f26-47fa-beb7-18fe100814d2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.14195%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8c6b094b-af64-422f-913f-64a764a251c2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Following the announcement, Ricci aired her thoughts.

She claimed the review was “elitist” and “exclusive” because Riseborough or her movie didn’t have a lot of money for campaign.

[{"selector":"#anim-e0b7ae5f-931c-42f8-9cfd-b12a07f40480","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8aa044b9-f3ed-4bd9-b460-557b44713e5b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.19558%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-227e9f27-3ea5-4d65-830b-36abb6017818","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Ricci also declared it would be a shame if Riseborough’s nomination was rescinded.
