I wouldn’t think there’d be a large audience interested in the subject matter. Seems more of an obscure Indie type film than Oscar winning material. Hidden figures would probably bore me to tears (mathematics ugh lol) but even I could understand the interest in that backstory more so.
I wonder if this ‘mix-up’ wasn’t related to yesterday’s DNC shooting down the black man for a Latino white-hater.
Maybe Carville called up the black Oscar President and said ‘fix this or lose the blacks from the plantation forever’.
She was nervous, and mis-read her teleprompter.
