Wish I could find the article where they were interviewed. This hits on some of it. The most rambling nonsense you’ve ever heard outside an Obama speech.

Oh, Donald! I love it. FINALLY the voice of reason. He’s like the kid in “The Emperor’s New Clothes” — saying aloud what everyone else is thinking.

The primary purpose of academy awards is to gin up interest in movies that make Hollywood money. Social commentary movies, the primary genre of black movies, have a narrow viewing audience and don’t Hollywood a heck of a lot of money even when extensively promoted.
