As guild voters plow through their pile of screeners, both digitally and physically, Variety is providing a helpful reminder of films that are engrossed with Latino talent and culture that should not be forgotten before ballots are turned in.
Latinos are having a banner year in cinema, proven by the outstanding performances, and invigorating filmmakers and artisans, behind many of this year’s leading contenders for the Oscars.
During this holiday break, we’re sitting in the midst of voting for the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the first round of BAFTA Awards .is providing a helpful reminder of films that are engrossed with Latino talent and culture that should not be forgotten before ballots are turned in. From the newcomers that stepped in front of the camera in “West Side Story” to the scribes that told our stories in “Encanto” ; from the visionaries behind “Nightmare Alley” to the first-time director that made it look easy in “Tick, Tick … Boom!” ; and from the names you may already know in “The French Dispatch” to the ones you may not recognize as our own in “Passing” , there’s enough consideration to be given to a group that is grotesquely underrepresented in the Academy’s history.
There’s history that can be made for people like Ariana DeBose , Rita Moreno , Clifton Collins Jr and Reinaldo Marcus Green . It’s not just about what you can see and who directed the projects. An animated gem like “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” has Cuban Phil Lord while Natalie Morales and Virgil Williams are telling stories differently with “Language Lessons” and “A Journal for Jordan.”optional screen reader
