It comes after Charlize helped promote the low-budget film To Leslie as backlash grows against claims that star Andrea Riseborough’s ‘shocking’ nomination represents white privilege.
Riseborough, 41, found himself in the middle of one of Hollywood’s biggest scandals in years when he earned a surprise Oscar nomination for To Leslie.
She plays an alcoholic who won the lottery and runs out of money in the low-budget film.
The film, which has grossed just £22,000 at the box office, was promoted by stars including Charlize, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Mia Farrow, Jennifer Aniston, Susan Sarandon, and Edward Norton.
Riseborough faced having her nomination stripped because many believed that her famous friends’ campaign for her film violated the strict rules of the Oscars races, as it is forbidden to contact Academy members to promote a film or push for a prize.
She was accused of ‘costing’ black actresses such as Viola Davis (The Woman King) and Danielle Deadwyler (Till) a nomination.
Nominated with Riseborough for Best Actress are Cate Blanchett (Tar), Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once), Ana de Armas (Blonde) and Michelle Williams (The Fabelmans).
news network CNN raised ‘how much of an advantage it is to have famous white friends’.

Her celebrity colleagues have supported her in various ways, through screenings or moderated discussions such as Q&A.
Many of them also posted their support on Twitter, using almost identical statements in support of To Leslie, calling it a “little movie with a giant heart”.
But an emergency board meeting of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ruled this week that Riseborough’s nomination must be allowed to stand.
A statement read: “The Academy has determined that the activity in question does not rise to the level that the film’s nomination should be rescinded.
“However, we discovered social media and outreach campaign tactics that caused concern,” the statement added. “These tactics are being addressed directly with the responsible parties.”
Now, support for the actress is growing: Screenwriter Paul Schrader, known for movies like Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, announced he would cast his Oscar ticket for Riseborough.

“She has my vote,” he wrote on Facebook. ‘Go ahead and investigate me.’
Actress Christina Ricci said the Academy’s investigation was an ‘elitist’ inquiry: ‘It seems hilarious that the ‘surprise nomination’ (meaning tons of money weren’t spent to position this actress) of a legitimately brilliant performance was is facing an investigation’.
This week two voting members of the Academy told the Mail on Sunday that they would be voting for Riseborough.
One woman, an Oscar-nominated makeup artist, said: “Frankly, this whole debacle has made me more determined to vote for her.”

“This is a brilliant performance and it sickens me that a grassroots campaign to support an actress who gave the performance of a lifetime has become political.
‘Enough is enough. You can call it a backlash, aroused whiplash, whiplash whatever you want, but Andrea has my vote and there are plenty of people out there who feel the same way I do.
‘Isn’t that what it’s supposed to be about? Shouldn’t we vote for the best performance, regardless of color, creed or religion?
Chinonye Chukwu, the director of Till, a film about a black teenager who was lynched in the racist Deep South with Danielle Deadwyler, who was considered a potential Best Actress nominee, failed to win a single Oscar nomination.
