breakingnews.ie:

Bafta has announced a raft of changes to its film awards – including expanding the nominations for director, actor and actress from five to six – in response to a lack of diversity at this year’s ceremony.

There will also be changes to the British Academy of Film and Television Arts’ voting, membership and campaigning processes, while the outstanding British film category will be expanded from six to 10 nominations to increase the focus on British work.

The nominations for the 2020 film awards featured no non-white actors in the four main acting categories, and an absence of female directors, and Bafta subsequently announced it would conduct a “careful and detailed review” of its voting system.

Are the Grammy Awards’ Rock Categories Redundant?

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIn 1999, the nominees for the Best Rock Album Grammy Award were John Fogerty, Garbage, Hole, Dave Matthews Band and the winner, Sheryl Crow. In 2009, it was Kid Rock, Kings of Leon, Metallica, the Raconteurs and the winner, Coldplay.In 2019, the nominees were Bring Me the Horizon, the Cranberries, I Prevail, Rival Sons and the winner (for the second time in four years), Cage the Elephant.With no disrespect to those artists, traditional rock music has fallen on hard times.Arguably, the last galvanizing artist to arise in that style was the White Stripes, 20 years ago — or even Nirvana, a decade before that.

The film is based on the 1984 work written by Wilson, the award-winning playwright behind Fences and The Piano Lesson.Set in 1927 Chicago, the story starts with Rainey as she arrives late to a recording session and greets a controlling white manager and an impatient band, who’s being fueled by Levee’s ambitions to unseat Rainey from her Blues throne.What follows is a misogynistic and creative battle as Rainey fights for full control of her sonic legacy as the men around the Blues queen see her actions as symptoms of her Blackness and womanhood, instead of
