They had to call an audible when they realized not enough Oscars went to blacks this year. Quota check.

Globally, Hollywood and the entertainment business is a Trillion dollar enterprise.

Remember when Congress got involved with Major League Baseball, and conducted televised investigations?

I would like to see Hollywood, its executives, and the entire business investigated.

There is ample enough justification: there are unions involved (Screen Actors Guild, among others), massive amounts of money, and Price Waterhouse cannot accurately answer what occurred last night.

Did La La Land win before the ceremonies and they changed it?

The Left always says that the "seriousness of the charge" warrants investigations.

Fine.

Investigate Hollywood.

Just good business; blacks are among the few remaining segments of the population hooked on TV and movie screens. Marketers love them; they let them continue operating with a 1990s model instead of having to move with technology...

Old Yeller, I think they “arranged” a quote check in advance. That Academy President (who now is black) said they amended their membership rules. They probably did something to dump all the tangential old Jewish cochers out and had some lowering of the bar to engender “diversity” which means dump white people.

I don’t care who wins Hollywood awards. I don’t care who is in the movie I watch. I prefer to be colorblind.
