I mean she auditioned for the role
and she's not some struggling actress who needed it.
im not her banker so i cant speak to what she needs and doesn't need
but the casting is horrible. that i can speak to
Im not talking about the money either. She's a seasoned enough actress not to mention Oscar and other award winning that she can choose which roles she takes.
This casting probably was going to a white woman like in the original movie until she decided she wanted it
if u really wanna go that route, having an oscar doesnt mean u can be extra picky cuz there's so many people banging down ur door
that's been proven several times over - especially for black actors
if anything, the "oscar curse" becomes a real concern. where the OPPOSITE of what you'd expect to happen after winning happens
so i cant even speak to how selective she is able to be. and even if she can be super picky the casting director still isn't off the hook
sometimes looking from the outside in provides the best view of how things are being set up.
just as someone whos in a bad relationship may need a friend to say "gorl, he doin u dirty." doesn't mean the person loves being done dirty, or asked for it, or is at fault for continuing to remain an active participant in the situation.
just means they're looking at things through a different lens.
