20 people....big whoop...

We know who the great black actors/actresses are and I'm sure they're not bothered a bit by this.

Statistically should be very common.

The real deal is Selma sucked.

I think the bias against Oprah Winfrey (her company, Harpo Productions, was involved in producing Selma) hurt that movie's chances for Oscar nominations.

I've seen Grand Budapest Hotel and Boyhood and both are worthy Oscar nominees. I think Boyhood will win Best Picture because it was such an audacious project, followin an actor for 12 years in "real time" growth.

Not surprising . All the Best Picture noms (except American Sniper) are aimed at white, elitist liberals. Let’s take a shot in the dark: The Academy voters are almost all white, elitist liberals.

But how many of them are gay? After all, being gay is the new ‘black’ in Hollywood.
