The Rev. Al Sharpton was left fuming mad after the Oscars revealed its all-white list of nominees for this year's Oscar awards on Thursday.
"The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher you get, the whiter it gets," Sharpton quipped in a statement released later in the afternoon.
Sharpton, a critic of the lack of diversity in Hollywood, also announced he was holding an "emergency meeting" next week to address the issue.
"I have called an emergency meeting early next week in Hollywood with the task force to discuss possible action around the Academy Awards," he said.

Absolutely histerical. Good FReeper.
They did that with the Wild, Wild, West.

Al, we are all blacked out. Get it?
“Sharpton, a critic of the lack of diversity in Hollywood
What movie doesn’t have Morgan Freeman or Samuel L. Jackson.”
How many white guys play in the NBA? Where’s Al on that one?
Maybe we need a few token Oscars for the “also rans”, even though none were nominated. Kind of like a consolation prize.
Yeah, but Al still can't stand up for more than 4 hours.
Why isn’t he being prosecuted and sent to ]ail for his tax issues?
Meanwhile, MSNBC is pimping the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite, and it’s trending worldwide.
I didn’t know Ebert was black.
Lollipop Head was none too happy when Oprah Windbag trotted out The Color Purple, with Danny Glover portraying a shiftless Negro. Now he’s backing her against the Hollywood Libs who (even they) are disturbed by the fast and loose with the facts in Selma. Oops.
The movie was mis-titled anyway:
S’lame
“And the Oscar for Random Brotha or Sistah in Any Hollywood Movie goes to...”
As only 13% of the nation is black only 13% of Oscars should go to black performers. Fair is fair!
