Isn't Selma nominated for Best Picture? That's a movie about Martin Luther King and the beginnings of the civil rights push for African Americans.
Please excuse the misspelled names:
Last year: 12 Years A Slave (best picture), Steve McQueen (director - a black man), Chiwetle Ojowar (sp?) - nominated for best actor (black guy); Barkhad Abji - nominated for best supporting actor (black guy); Lupita Nyongo - Best Actress (black woman)
In 2013 Denzel Washington was nominated for Best Actor, Django Unchained nominated for Best Picture, Qwevenzane Wallis nominated for Best Actress.
so what's the problem, Al?
And every year now some movie - actor - actress gets nominated because the movie was about gay stuff and/or the actress and actor played a gay part.

Re: “Did a lot more people watch Twelve Years a Slave because it won an Oscar - NOPE”
Not in America, but internationally the Oscar Buzz clearly helped.
A moderate budget USA film typically gets about 50% of its gross from foreign countries.
“12 Years A Slave”
Domestic - $56.6 million
2013 USA Rank - #62
International - $131 million
Total Gross - $187.6 million
All Time Rank - Did not make Top 600

I’m appallingly white and Al Sharpton thinks skin color should be the yardstick for judging success rather than merit.
In a way black racists like him have become everything they opposed during the Civil Rights days. And of course, there’s the shakedown aspect of it, too.
Its all phony.

That disgusting creep will do anything for media attention. Sharpton preaches to the likes of the low side of life like these

It;s usually about economics in Ho-wood. Pictures about black people or featuring black actors may not do so well at the box office.

The new movie Annie has a black playing Annie, doesn’t it? I guess that was ok with Hollywood.....

“”In 2013 Denzel Washington was nominated for Best Actor””
And he still complains that there aren’t any good roles for black actors!!!!! Unbelievable but apparently he’s a liberal so it’s acceptable.
