Maybe this year’s Oscar’s is a backlash against such protests.

Will not happen.
Hollywood needs the Oscars so they can do a little happy back slapping.

They actually aren’t relevant. They chose identity politics, they chose to “speak for black people, to black people”, why are they surprised that nobody else wants to listen?

How do you become a Member of the Academy? Do you submit an application? Do you just pay dues? Are you appointed? Do you have to “rush” it like a fraternity? Rather than whine about the results, which are determined by the vote, why don’t you whine about getting the vote?

I’m hard pressed to recall any Asian-Americans even being nominated for an Oscar, ever, apart from the Cambodian Dr. Haing S. Ngor. Sessue Hayakawa? Nancy Kwan? And yet, they never picketed the joint.

It doesn’t make them racist, only it’s fun to see them hoisted on their petard, if they would only stop trying to hoist the rest of us on it too, when we don’t even play that game.

If the most PC bunch on the face of this earth didn’t nominate a black actor or actress then it’s pretty safe to say there weren’t any even remotely worthy candidates, I’d say.

No doubt there will be plenty of rich, white liberal actors doing the “hands up” and/or “I can’t breathe” thing to try and prove they’re on board with the latest “all whites are racists” agenda the WH is pushing these days.

Rather than whine about the results, which are determined by the vote, why dont you whine about getting the vote? Does Hollywood have its own set of "Jim Crow" voting regulations?

In the black complainer’s eyes, if they don’t win Oscars it must be because Hollywood is racist. It’s the same story everywhere.

I thought Hollywood types were so progressive and "hip" and "With it". Racism in show biz? Say it ain't so, PLEASE say it ain't so!! /s
No I'm not. Most lib/progs really are racists under their thin skin.

I knew what you meant, I just wasn’t sure a few others might understand. I should give other people more credit :)

Yep. So much for that “content of character” and merit stuff. These protesters are saying they’re OWED and entitled to whatever it is they want, in life.
