"45 Years" Star Charlotte Rampling Has a Controversial Take on "Oscars So White"

Charlotte Rampling in 45 Years
It has been quite a week for the Oscars So White movement. What started with Jada Pinkett Smith's promise of boycotting (her husband Will wasn't too far behind) and even the potential absence of Mark Ruffalo, has evolved into a circus of everyone's own personal racial views. While it is nice to hear the conversation leaning more towards progressive views, one cannot disqualify some shocking comments that go against the grain, as is the case with Charlotte Rampling. After achieving a much deserved Best Actress Oscar nomination for her role in director Andrew Haigh's 45 Years, she has added her voice to the movement, and it doesn't go the way that almost everyone else this week has. In fact, you'll be forgiven for actually turning against her once you read her comments.
