The announcement of the nominations aroused interest in the highly controversial way in which Andrea Riseborough (a potential competitor that nobody was betting on) got her place in that quintet along with Cate Blanchett, Michelle Williams, Ana de Armas and Michelle Yeoh.

In the end, Riseborough did not receive any sanctions and stood by his candidacy. However, the Academy reported in January that it plans to make some changes to its rules after this awards season concludes. The purpose, he explained, is to create “a better framework [normativo] for a respectful, inclusive and impartial campaign” (via).
