Every minority gets a trophy. Worked really well for the Millennials and Gen Z. /s

Does this person not remember the days when blacks were portrayed as minstrels and buffoons?
Blacks are dominating Hollywood right now.

Definitely racism. Or maybe, the directing in the film wasn't as good as that of the nominated films?

Must be nice to be able to constantly blame racism for everything. Actually, it is self-limiting, self-pitying b.s., engaged in by losers.

Those white, straight, Christian males who run Hollywood ruin everything

Lots of adult children running around. Even running important things.

I had to laugh. The output from Hollywood, Madison Avenue, and the TV industry these days is almost saturated with black people, black families as well as interacial couples/families. I don't care but it is very noticeable.

Their representations do not reflect reality...unless reality is multiplied by a factor of 10. And someone got butt hurt because they didn't get their slice of diversity pie? Cry me a river.

So, a movie about racism didn’t get an award because of racism.........ironic

Businessmen run Hollywood, and every movie has to have a break-even or profit-angle. Somewhere in the mix....you have idiots with no perception of what the public appreciates.

I could have told you a year ago that Black Adam was never going to be a ‘winner’....same story with 2019’s Cats...same story with 2011’s Green Lantern.

Hey,pal...come back when you’ve made a film starring Morgan Freeman or Samuel L Jackson. Until then I’m willing to assume that your films are pig swill.

Maybe a biopic is in order for the offended: “Just Like Emmett!”. Because not even getting nominated is like murder. Tell me again how much this assclown banked......

The Oscars need some new categories like “Best Black Director”, “Best Black Female Actor”, etc.
