This Is The Reason Director Ryan Coogler Refuses To Join The Academy

JAKARTA - Director Ryan Coogler opened his voice about the decision to refuse to join The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He received an invitation to join after attracting attention to the film Creed in 2016.

The Academy's invitation to join was addressed to filmmakers whose names were nominated for the Oscars. At that time, Ryan Coogler was nominated for his first.

Almost 10 years have passed, Coogler explained his reasons for not joining The Academy. Not because of arrogance, but Coogler feels unable to judge the work of others.

"It's not because of hatred. I'm not good at judging things," Ryan Coogler told the New York Times.

"Sikap seperti 'Silih yang terbaik' ini membuat saya stres, bahkan ketika tidak ada yang dipertimbangkan," jelasnya.

Even so, Ryan Coogler really enjoyed the award season because he met many filmmakers and industry. He is not interested in Oscar's gamble, just looking forward to meeting industrial friends.

People look at clothes, they are looking forward to the red carpet, but it's the blue collar friends who make the film come true," he said again.

In 2021, Coogler also talked about his decision not to join The Academy. He said, 'I'm not this versus that person' or 'this film is not good enough to be on the list' I love movies, and that's enough.'

Selama kariernya, Ryan Coogler belum pernah mendapat nominasi Sutradara Terbaik dalam Academy Awards meski keempat filmnya masuk ke dalam nominasi.
