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.

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.

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.

I noticed no Polish-American actors were nominated.

Racists!

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

Maybe has to do with lack of Latin talent?

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?

Javier Bardem was in that insufferably bad “Mother!” Let’s nominate him for being able to make his way through that train wreck of a movie without busting out laughing.

How have the Oscars gotten away with not having a quota system for so long?

I guess they all sucked? Or maybe got scooped up by ICE? They have their own Congress, their own magazines and TV networks. Cesar Chavez Day. What else do they want?
