I have to agree that there is a huge diversity problem in Hollywood and on TV. How can 13% of the population look like 50% of the population from their numbers in programs and advertisements? There IS one glaring diversity problem and this is in home alarm commercials where we NEVER see an African American breaking into a home, only middle class, scruffy looking white guys. Maybe next year they will champion diversity in the NBA and NFL?

I don’t give a rats behind about the Oscars anymore. I heard Stallone was nominated, and for old times sake, I hope he wins. But otherwise, I will be glad when the night is done.

Hollywood socialist justice warriors really roll out the Red carpet.

We don’t see Muslims shooting up recruiting offices, shooting soldiers on a base, etc. always a disgruntled right-wing nut. We don’t see BLM protestors burning stores, attacking and shooting cops. Always a scruffy white guy.

Oscars will lose even more watchers when the MC goes off on a rant about too many white folk in Hollywood.

Chris Rock is hosting these awards. The Hollywood moguls need to be mindful of one of his lines:

“There’s two types of malls in America. The ones white people go to, and the ones white people used to go to.”

Well, to paraphrase for this situation, there are two types of movies made in America. The ones white people will pay money to see, and the ones they won’t.

Hollywood can decide which business model works best for them.

Protests? There’ll be no protests. Libs protect them selves the same way any self-important group of people does. (( rolling eyes ))

Although it might be fun to watch millionaire and billionaire Hollywood liberals squirm in their seats as they are called "RAYCCIS!" - I'll pass.

Since I haven’t seen a movie in a current run theater in many years, I have no idea; were there any black actor performances worth nominating in the last few years? Or is this supposed to be an automatic set-aside?

I wont be watching. However the self righteous Trump hate should be worth the admission. ;) By the way. I always use the spell checker provided here. I noticed it corrects for Trump. Congrats Donald. You’ve made it to FR!

They’re against guns so there won’t be any armed security there.

They use blacks in ads because whites don’t make buying decisions based on race. However blacks will increase their purchase of products if blacks are used in the ads.

Who’s the racist?

Boring from the word go. But red carpet program has two minority host/hostess. And every other word is about diversity. The head of the Oscars is a minority female. What the hell? They will never be happy until there are only minorities.

You are so right. In fact, black guys are rarely the criminal in detective shows, unless balanced by a black detective who is smarter and wiser than his white colleagues.

A bunch of massively overpaid people giving themselves awards for being so great while lecturing us on how we should be better people. I’ll pass.

I switched over to the Red Carpet show and it was a fag fest freak show. Is there a hetero in Hollywood?

This will help make the Oscars into a list of films to avoid or at least end the awards as meaning anything about the quality of the films.

If a martian landed and watched some TV they’d conclude 50% of the population is black and every family in America has at least one gay member.
