Actors and directors speak out over awards omissions and highlight ‘invisible talent’ that deserves a place on the red carpet

A group of leading
British stars and film directors, including Gemma Arterton, Carey Mulligan and Joely Richardson, are to speak out this week against the lack of diversity in the films and talent to be celebrated during the entertainment industry’s annual awards season.
“While there are some great films and outstanding performances nominated, there have been glaring omissions,” said Dame Heather Rabbatts, chair of the Time’s Up
UK campaign.
