Last year to open the Academy Awards, host Neil Patrick Harris joked, "Welcome to the 87th Oscars. Tonight we honor Hollywood's best and whitest." Then, after a beat: "Sorry…brightest."
It was a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement of one of the biggest scandals to plague the Oscars in more than a decade: every single acting nominee was white. Worse, in a year when Selma, a film about Martin Luther King Jr., was the best reviewed film of the year—but shut out in every race but Best Picture.
This year the joke is no longer funny.

I love how the left loves quotas....after all, it was the ONLY way a POS like Dorkbama the Muslim could do anything except shlep ice cream.
Yup, quotas for oscars....may as well do it, given the sleaze of those demanding it and the spinelessness of those being demanded.
In any case, no one gives a s*** about the Oscars any more. We simply go to the movies that appeal to us....even those who have actors possessing single digit IQs.
An oscar is worth a couple of pennies less than a Nobel Prize in anything other than the sciences.
Chris Rock......really. Not that I was going to watch...yet he is one of the biggest racists on this planet. He used to be funny....then his true colors came out. He is truly a person with a ugly soul.
I enjoyed Creed and it very much turned Rocky into a black movie. With ten Best Picture nominees I thought it should have been given a nod. The director did a great job on that.
That's pretty much what is being said.
Best Animated - Inside Out
Best Comic Book Movie - AntMan
Best Comedy - The Intern
The worst part was when Julia Roberts saw who won she said, "I love my life...." PUKE!
So there is a quota that must be met? A certain number of Blacks must be nominated?
Wasn’t this what Dr. King fought against?
Danish Girl.
Agreed.
He was a characture in “Training Day” and, as some call it, “coonin’”.
He should have won for “Malcom X”.
Is there some rule that black people must be nominated no matter what?
What about Asians? There are way more Mongoloid people on this planet than there are Negroid.
I think it was the other way around......There is a Party Line in Hollywood, and if you want to keep working in Hollywood you'd better toe that line.
Look at the bright side, there is already talk that 50 Shades of Black will be a 2017 nominee.
Decisions should be based on race not merit?
But we aren't suppose so say anything about that exclusive event.
No need. The NFL is doing it all by itself between the homos and the gang bangers. Of course they are all leftists and run by a leftist with teams owned by leftists, pushed on leftist networks sucking up conservative and centrist cash to do it.
So I guess you actually are right.
Another all black NBA basketball team? This is BS.
When will the NCAA and the NFL issue rules that x number of running backs and wide receivers be white?
Thanks. Of course that will win. Funny the powers that be have gone right over BLMs and picked trans. Once again proving blacklivesdon’tmatter to the elite.
No comments section?
Why not?
Daily Beast got rid of comments a few months ago.
