Did he say the same thing about the BET awards?
I guess even if he disgrees (and I don’t know that he does), he has to stand with his wife.
That said, I think the whole issue is a chimera.
Oh the irony. The knock on Will Smith has always been that his production company hires no blacks or other minorities.
well i used to be a fan....but then again if he feels that he needs to put his race first, then perhaps i should as well. fair is fair
I’ll tell Will to his face his son is a no-talent wimp boy who can’t act and has no business using daddy’s fame to get famous. That movie with the two was absolutely pitiful.
Well now I’ve got another actor to boycott. Demanding blacks be included is like affirmative action. If the role and movie are good, you’ve got a better chance of getting an Oscar. That said, I’m still in disbelief that Cher has an Oscar and Glen Close doesn’t.
Who is Will Smith and why should I care????
(yes I know who he is, but don’t know what he’s been doing these past 20 years)
Good, more room for people that were actually nominated for something.
Yawn, tempest in a teapot.
Sore Loser.
I’m not sure his presence is required, is it? Oh its quite amusing to see political correctness bite it’s master
I might actually watch the Oscars for the first time in over a decade if this boycott truly catches on.
He and his wife moaning about their talent not seeming to be better than the talent of others - all the while saying how it’s demeaning to have to moan about such...
I do not really care what he does.
Sorry Willy. My give-a-damn is broken.
When are they? I'll use the time to watch Atlas Shrugged Part III, it has such a happy ending...lol. The conversation between Hugh and Dagny at Hugh's vineyard was one of the best scenes in the movie.
I hope they include Project X in the upcoming miniseries. IMO, I think Albert Ruddy (the producer) will follow the lead of The Big Short, i.e. taking some artistic license to make AS come alive to a larger audience.
BET
Oscars are about the caliber of the work itself, voted by the members of the industry itself. I have not always agreed with who was nominated, but that’s not the point.
For people that state there is no black skinned actors/directors nominated, is to want work to be nominated based on skin color quotas. X number of other skin colors and X of black skin. Not whether the work deserves an Oscar nomination! In other words Affirmative Action for Oscar nominations!
The BET Awards already celebrates individuals with black skin for their work in Entertainment.
I think black skinned people would rather not have quotas. If they do put quotas in the Oscars, black skinned people would wonder if they got there because their work was good enough or whether it just because their filling the black skin quota.
