There were definitely several Oscar worthy black performances this past year that weren’t nominated. “Beasts of no nation” was a tour de force performance by Idris Elba. Gorgeous cinematography also.

I suspect the lack of nominations is more inside baseball, rather than actual racism.

True. As there were un-nominated worthy white performances too.

It happens, and it might not have a thing to do with race.
