A poor year for diversity, with Cynthia Erivo the only actor of color in the race and an all-male director field, has revived the #OscarsSoWhite debate of four years ago.
Erivo, who played slavery-era freedom fighter Harriet Tubman in "Harriet," is likely to lose out in the best actor category to Renee Zellweger, who has swept up awards this season for her performance as an ageing Judy Garland in "Judy."
"She gave an amazing performance," said Variety chief film critic Owen Gleiberman. "My jaw was just on the floor."
