Andrea Riseborough was at Frances Fisher's screening with Ava. Octavia, Selma Blair, Mary McCormack, Daphne Zuniga and Jurnee Smollet have already expressed their support. It’s over!

Emma Stone's future third Oscar will be for playing Frances Fisher in the film adaptation of the To Leslie campaign.

I read on some other site that this feels like a very deliberate "redemption tour" for Frances Fisher and her To Leslie cohort, after being accused of peak white feminism, for promoting Andrea Riseborough to the Oscar nomination at the expense of some black actresses who were in a much more credible position to be nominated ( Davis, Deadwyler). And I got a chuckle, because it does seem like an effort to not go down in history for spearheading a bizarre last minute campaign tinged with racial undertones. Frances and them can now credibly say they were doing something similar for black actresses and creatives like Anjanue- Ellis and Duvernay. As far as redemption arcs go, I've seen worse .The To Leslie stuff was far more agressive though (and arguably underhanded and against the spirit of fair play). The cut and paste messages from dozens of stars, telling voters that so and so actresses were "locks" and exactly how many votes Riseborough needed to get in. This Origin stuff is quite tame by comparison and is basically traditional campaigning (and not against the spirit of fair play), so it may well be a case of too little too late. Also the praise being given out is less specifically for Anjanue-Ellis (even though she's getting a lot of praise), but more generally for the film and Duvernay as well. With To Leslie, it was all centered on Riseborough ( remember they had people like Kate Winslet saying wild shit like it was the best performance she'd ever seen from an actress ). I think it may be too little, too late for Anjanue-Ellis because they can't be that aggressive and unsubtle this year (probably due to rule changes after the To Leslie affair). But maybe it might help the film get in another category....a screenplay nod for Duvernay or something.

* Ngl, this feels like one of those lame, do overs of taking something that was organically cool and Punk Rock illegal against an authoritarian regime (take THAT OscarsSoWhite!)......... and true "social justice" - um, made myself laugh - because Riseborough actually was genuinely totally and obviously fncking great (first review on MAR : pacinoyes look it up)......... and I don't think (?) Ellis-Taylor or Origin are (haven't seen it though) but that's the way Pop Culture always goes isn't it........? * It's like when pacinoyes invented liking his own posts (he invented that on MAR too, look it up) and before you realized how funny that fncker was and thought that shit was just maybe a sign of his disturbing mental illness........... and now every moron on MAR does it and it's just lame and uncool because MAR is the limp Goo Goo Dolls to pacinoyes' and his shocking erection waving Westerberg isn't it? It basically is like deciding to watch the nastiest, most vile Porn immediately after your self-achieved orgasm .......it's gross people .........but then again so are the Oscars in general .........so Best of Luck to everyone, sure why not.......
