Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling has caused controversy in the debate over diversity at the Oscars by saying she thinks the row is "racist to whites".
The British actress, who is nominated for her role in 45 Years, was speaking to a French radio station as more names add their voice to this year's boycott.
Rampling added that she thought that "perhaps the black actors did not deserve to make the final list".
When asked if she thought the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences should improve its diversity with quotas, the 69-year-old said: "Why classify people? These days everyone is more or less accepted.
"People will always say, 'Him, he's less handsome'; 'Him, he's too black'; 'He is too white'. Someone will always be saying, 'You are too [this or that]'... But do we have to take from this that there should be lots of minorities everywhere?"
Will Leonardo DiCaprio win his first Oscar for his role in The Revenant?
