I had only watched the revised West Side Story a couple of weeks ago but have been surprisingly obsessed with the renewing of this classic love story. DeBose is a HUGE part of its success, leaving me inspired by her talents and hopeful for my children's future, especially my own daughter. She brought all her heart and soul to the role of Anita and has garnished a new fan for life!

No she wasn’t. She’s nominated not for talent but for quota. The remake sucked. It flopped for a reason. Nothing like the original.

@@SandraMartinez-gv1yf I hope you know that the „original“ is just a „remake“ of the broadway show. There’s 2 reasons why the new version was not that successful. 1) corona 2) Ignorant people like you that can’t enjoy great filmmaking because there is a movie that came out nearly 60 years ago. And if you say that her nomination is just quota you haven’t even seen a bit of the movie. But keep hating without any reason because everything the world needs right at the moment is more hate 😉.

@@leticiapinheiro9672 ummmm 😳 We’re talking two different things. This comment is simply uneducated. Apples to oranges here 🤷🏾♂️ STUDIO VS STAGE. Beyoncé is not a trained actress nor does she have any roles that exemplify that. (Her only decent performance was Cadillac Records). Ariana has an extensive catalog in broadway (a regular with HAMILTON)and was literally sought out from one of greatest film directors of all time to play this role. It’s not simply singing and dancing as you say. Ariana was MADE for this role. Sooooo…. I guess that argument can’t be made for Jennifer in Dreamgirls or Anne Hathaway in Les Miserables?

@dubfilm 2 жыл бұрын
@@lalareal180 laughable. While you say “bye”, go sit down somewhere in a corner. There are no quotas here. Just say you’re not educated on the craft of film and theatre and leave it at that. Who do you think gave her the approval out of hundreds of auditions spanning years?…… Rita Moreno. She was sought after by one of the best directors on history…… Steven Spielberg. This isn’t some desire to overlook the original. This was to pay homage to one of the best musicals which quite frankly actually has Latino talent instead of whites portraying Puerto Ricans.

@@OscarMPG1 let’s not be dense please. everyone should win based on merit no matter what race you are. It is known that the academy award will go out of its way to discredit Poc actors/actresses and give awards to white actors with mediocre performances. It wasn’t until 2016 when the #oscarsowhite controversy where they acknowledged their fault and broadened their knowledge to works of Poc (directors, producers, not just actors)

Ariana DeBose was the wrong person to play Anita. She does not light a man's desire for a sensual relationship with a woman. And all the acting in the world won't make it so. She ought to play roles where attraction between the sexes is not an element like Vivian Vance.
