Marc Maron is sticking up for his ‘To Leslie’ co-star Andrea Riseborough's surprise Oscar nomination.
Maron laid out the typical process that films and actors undergo to receive Oscar nominations, arguing that Riseborough diverged from that well-worn path on the strength of her performance. “Millions of dollars put into months and months of advertising campaigns, publicity, screenings by large corporate entertainment entities and Andrea was championed by her peers through a grassroots campaign which was pushed through by a few actors,” he said.
While Maron lamented the corporate interests involved in awards season and the Oscars's penchant for overlooking independent cinema, he's not worried about Riseborough's nomination potentially getting rescinded. “Nothing is going to happen because of [an investigation] but it was in earnest, the campaign, and it is not undeserving,” he said, of Riseborough's nomination.
Maron, whose latest standup special airs on HBO Max on February 11th, ended the segment in typical Maron fashion: “Who gives a fuck.”
