Nate Parker: Two For, Two Against
This morning Hollywood Reporter award-season analyst and handicapper Scott Feinberg finally jumped into the Nate Parker thing (along with THR colleague Gregg Kilday) with an assessment piece that includes four quotes from Academy members about Parker and his situation. Tab Hunter and documentarian Mitchell Block want to cut Parker a break while producer Marcia Nasatir and actress Rutanya Alda (“Mommie Dearest”) are quite negative about the guy. I’m not sure what I think: as I told a friend yesterday, though, the problem with comparing Parker to Woody Allen and Roman Polanski is that their victims didn’t commit suicide and Parker’s did.
