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.

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.

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

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

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?

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...
