Let's look at the facts.
1.Hollywood likes to nominate actors in serious dramas for oscars, and especially if the movie is about a pet cause issue dear to Hollywood.
2. This year a black actor named Will Smith starred in a serious drama about a pet cause issue dear to progressive's hearts.
3. No black actors were nominated for best actor.
4. Jada Pinket Smith begins a boycott of the acadamy awards because no black actors were nominated.
5. Both Jada Pinket Smith and Will Smith have the same last name. This is because they are married.
“I have to say that Denzel’s over the top performance in Training Day is one of my favorites and that Oscar is deserved.”
Agreed. I’ll always remember listening to his big speech to the rookie telling him why they HAD to be corrupt, and finding myself almost convinced.
I was like: whoa, that’s some good acting, it’s good this guy has decided to just be a play actor in hollywood, who knows what n=mischief he might get up to in real life.
Of 122 nominations, the only black film nominated is Straight Out of Compton for original screenplay, and both writers are white.
Sounds like Hollyweird feels they did enough by supporting Obama.
Affirmative Action!
maybe they’re should bee end and affirmative action apsect to the Oscuh...
Are they "successful" because they are good? Or, are they successful because they are token minority that was chosen to be in the film for "diversity" reasons?
90%+ of the minority roles in Hollywood were created just to put a brown face in the film. People wouldn't notice if they were not there...and wouldn't care.
From Wikipedia about Narcissus:
He was the son of the river god Cephissus and nymph Liriope. He was proud, in that he disdained those who loved him. Nemesis noticed this behavior and attracted Narcissus to a pool, where he saw his own reflection in the water and fell in love with it, not realizing it was merely an image.
“Sidney Poitier, who won an Oscar for his performance in Lilies of the Field, was the first black actor to ever win one of the gold statuettes:”
Not quite true, Hattie McDaniel won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1939 for “Gone With the Wind.”
Just give everyone a “participation Oscar” and the problem goes away ...
