If Zoe is lead, then so is Ariana. Both Ariana and Cynthia are co-leads.

Yes Ariana is a lead but they don't want her competing against Cynthia. Because Hollywood racism which we have seen slightly all over the films campaign. They are navigating it well.  But now two colored women will be agains each other and most likely lead Cynthia will loose and Ariana will win with her field now wide open

its so stupid lol but here we are doing our best to tiptoe , so public doesn't turn against t anyone.   I don't want Ariana to loose and the world gets made at zoe. 
 

we had a similar issue with Barbie last year Ryan would have won more awards if public outcry didn't sway and say he can't be recognized for doing a good job in a female lead production.  It's all kinda messy talent and hard work vs political correct and public outcry

Meryl and Anthony only campaigned in Lead for those movies because of their status in the industry.

 

Both of those roles were more supporting, and would've been nominated as such if they were played by a lesser known actor.

 

And either way a supporting role going lead is a disadvantage, while Zoe (and Ariana apparently) have a clear advantage over actual supporting roles due to their large amount of screen time.

Zoe should've been campaigned lead, it's ridiculous how 2 women from the same film can't be campaigned lead together anymore. 

Olivia Colman won BA for  less screentime in The Favourite compared to Emma Stone who was the A-lister at the time. Screentime is not the only factor that plays into category placement. Never has been hence we have these conversations seasonally. The art form is subjective so I don't need there to be hard line. The issue with this article is the writer's blatant agenda.

Wicked pr's campaign is wicked to say the least. Really putting down another actress so yr star can win is such a mean and disgusting move. Zoe is lead sure and the best thing in the movie. I connected more with her than gascons character.also saldana sang the best. If saldana moves to lead she better win that oscar.gascon should take her place in supporting. Selena was good i will give her that but atleast she will be on oscar voters' radar and prepare a nom for a future film.
