I don’t see an issue with fatsuits either tbh. In an ideal world they would get an obese person to play the role but maybe they auditioned plenty of obese people but couldn’t find the right person for the role. Get the best person for the role, if that’s someone who isn’t obese then I don’t see what the issue is. People shouldn’t play outside their own race, but this isn’t really comparable IMO.

In what way? I mean the story is about the trials of a guy dying of his health so are you saying that stories should not be written about obese people or people should only be employed in those roles if they are obese and not suit up?

Opens up all kinds of questions. What if an actor purposely gained weight for the role then lost it gradually after they finished filming? A line needs to be drawn with regards to people playing characters outside their race but other than that, it’s called acting for a reason

I feel sorry for Andrea Riseborough, her name being wrongly hung out in the Oscars race row because of her nomination. Not her fault she has been nominated

Been one of the most diverse years in recent memory. As you say, unfair that Riseborough is being singled out because of her race.

The latter.
So Melissa McCarthy got Oscar nominated because someone saw sense and decided Julianne Moore fatting-up for Can You Ever Forgive Me would be offensive, so they gave the role to a fat actress (McCarthy) instead.
Fat roles for fat people, the same as black roles for black people. It's mocking at best any other way.
I thought he was, even though i wasn't much of a fan of the snyder films.
James gunn won the power play against the rock though. (Mostly cause black adam flopped).

What if someone chooses to put on weight rather than wearing a fat suit? Maybe they auditioned plenty of morbidly obese people but no one was suitable? Being overweight can’t be the only criteria, they have to be a good fit for the role too. Should straight people be allowed to play gay roles? Should gay people be allowed to play straight roles?
What about if they identify as being fat?

His Superman was great, his Clark Kent was absolutely brick if you ask me.

Some of Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr's best work was in Tropic Thunder.
And that's got fat suit and blacking up.
Do love that film.

Eddie Redmayne has made public apologies for doing exactly that re the Danish Girl

TBF, I take offence at Will Ferrel taking funny roles.

He shouldn’t have to. It’s ridiculous. No one would complain if Ian McKellan played a straight role nor should they. It’s called acting.

Just another utterly pathetic turn the world has made where somebody always has to apologise for something
