Actor-producer Gina Rodriguez slammed the 2018 Academy Awards nominations and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for failing to nominate a single Latin actor this year.

[C19fan]

I guess Mexican director Guillermo del Toro whose movie "The Shape of Water" was nominated for 13 Oscars does not count since he is not an actor.

[WayneS]

I don’t speak Latin, I prefer my movies in English...

#OscarsSoAnglo

[dp0622]

How many Americans of Italian descent got nominated? It should match the percent of the population!!!! Or I’ll be pi$$ed!!!

Just kidding. Couldn’t give a flying ####.

Just pointing out how STUPID it sounds.

[rktman]

Sounds like a phony hollyweird name to me. Translated to Billy the Bull? Really? Maybe that’s too sexually charged of a name for some #metwo’rs.

[Red Badger]

i’m offended that there were no left handed, Asian, dwarf, transgender nominations..................

[GnuThere]

Tell her to complain to the #OscarsSoWhite whiners, maybe they are taking up all the Hispanic slots.

[KosmicKitty]

Personally I’d like to see more Aleutians in the movies. They’ve really been discriminated against in Hollywood.

[dfwgator]

I noticed no Polish-American actors were nominated.

Racists!

[Sacajaweau]

Pssssst.....This is America. It’s bad enough I get phone messages in Spanish.

[Red Badger]

There will eventually have Black Oscars, Latino Oscars, Asian Oscars, LGBTQWERXS OSCARS, ETC................

i’m offended that there were no left handed, Asian, dwarf, transgender nominations..................

Ooh! I’m left handed. I can feel offended now!!! Do I get some money somewhere for this?

[ObozoMustGo2012]

Were there even ANY movies this year even worth a nomination that had hispanic actors in it???

Not that I paid much attention, but nothing is standing out....

[Red Badger]

Only if you’re also Asian, dwarf, transgender.................

[Parmy]

That’s right! Go by skin color and not merit.

[Redbob]

Maybe has to do with lack of Latin talent?

[Lionheartusa1]

,,,,,,,, and what about the Chinese , Japanese , German , Nigerian etc. .

[Leaning Right]

There is a simple solution to all of this, a solution that would guarantee no complaints in the future.

Simply give everyone an Oscar. Every actor, every actress, every director, etc. To keep expenses down, the Academy might have to switch to paper-mache statues. Just do what you gotta do.

Why do I always have to think of everything?

[cherry]

we have to admit that blacks are overrepresented in many award programs..that Asians are almost completely ignored and latinos less so..

Christians are almost black listed....

I refuse to play their games though...I watch and listen to what I want...I get sooo tired of some limp wrist arrogant elitist telling me what movie is good, what music is good, or tv...

[EdnaMode]

Haha. Perfect. Or they can all get ribbons.
