Could it possibly be ... the black actors and "black movies" just weren't very good?

Or is that too obvious??

Elite Hollywood liberals support affirmative action everywhere but Hollywood. Hypocrites.

Many of the richest elite liberals throughout Californicator Land and the DC area live in closed gate communities with armed guards. If they spawned and have children, their spawn go to private schools with armed guards.

Of course, they hate us for having our guns as per our second amendment.

Thanks, I forgot about them supporting illegals and increasing our taxes, not theirs, to pay for the illegals.

And tax hikes on everyone except for movie studios.

“It was just an incredibly competitive year”

So it’s about who’s better?
Which is it?

They want an award for being black. That is what it amounts to.. and that is just pathetic.

Where is the outrage about the lack of nominations for Asians....for American Indians....for Indian Indians...for Latinos?
Fact: Black people care about black people and it’s time to call ALL the hypocrites on their pretend offense.

Have heard similar talk about the NBA, regarding how there are not enough black coaches in the NBA

The hiring of white coaches in the NBA over black coaches is very controversial. Last season the Golden State Warriors fired their black coach, Mark Jackson, before the start of the season and hired white coach Steve Kerr. The Warriors then proceeded to waltz to a title with Kerr at the helm.

There were two prevailing opinions....Jackson had bad luck the previous season with his starting center, Andrew Bogut, not playing in the conf. semis and the Warriors losing in seven games.

The other opinion is that the Warriors should have won even without Bogut since they rarely played Bogut in winning the championship finals last year.

On some fan forums some posters have implied that white coaches are better coaches than black coaches. Of course, those assertions are greeted with charges of racism.

But the fact remains most of the coaches with the best reputations have been white. So the race question in the NBA will not go away quietly and without controversy.

Usually Morgan Freeman is a shoe-in like Stevie Wonder at the Grammys. He didn’t get cast as God or the president or Abraham Lincoln in a movie this year.

He does play the Speaker of the House in the upcoming "London Has Fallen".
