Why does one have her eyes closed? Heads must roll in post production for letting that one slide. That alone outweighs everything else.

She's already the odd one out as being noticeably paler than the rest.

Sorry, you're noticing closed eyes and different shades of skin colour?! You're focusing on wrong things chaps. Personally it was hard to tell any differences when looking through sweat filled squinted eyes :p

Perhaps they’re closed in ecstasy, as the girl on the extreme
right is demonstrating the properties of her latest turbo strap-on?
 
I don't think people are understanding. 2/6 in the picture are the screen actors guild award nominees for the outstanding performance by a Female Actor in a leading role. The fault in the picture isn't the Magazine's, it's the SAG's for not nominating any non-white female actors!

There are two black men nominated in the leading male category, a black actress and Chinese actress in the best supporting female nominees, although best supporting actor nominees are all white.

I will concede they could have had Mary J Blige or Hong Chau in the picture though.

Or maybe the non-white female actresses performances weren't as good as the white actresses this year, or are we just basing nominations on skin colour rather than merit and competency?

True enough, but they certainly don't have an issue with 'white washing' considering the nominees in other categories. Just a lot of hot air
 
I was more bothered by one of them wearing a very inaccurate depiction of a traditional toga. She's got one shoulder uncovered, which is correct, but the rest is a an inaccurate mess that's not much like a traditional toga. Anyone dressing up for LARP should be more accurate.

The usual sexist and racist hypocrites talking nonsense is, well, the usual nonsense. It's a shame they're allowed to have any power, but such is life.
