Well, always good to keep in mind we are talking about the Oscars, which is something inherently unimportant. But in its context, I think there is a difference between the two things you cite. Any actor in a film knows going in that they will have the benefit of the Oscar campaign resources associated with the studio and producers of the film they signed up for. That’s not an equal playing field for all actors, but it is somewhat standardized, and governed by a set of rules and conventions (sometimes violated to be sure). But only certain kinds of actors have the friends and connections to benefit from the kind of campaign McCormack ran. And it tends not to be actors like Danielle Deadwyler and Viola Davis.
