i don't think he's saying that... all he is saying is the Russell was robbed in the name of diversity... so, you beg the question... if it didn't go to Denzel or Smith, then it would have gone to Russell who should have won it in the first place... except for the diversity issue... i'm not saying i agree--i just think this is what he was saying... (but i do think Russell should have won--however, i don't think Denzel won because of diversity... i think he won because "he was due" is the eyes of many...)

i don't think Denzel won because of diversity... i think he won because "he was due" is the eyes of many...)That's happened more than once in Oscar history- my beef is with some who now want to chalk it up to affirmative action just because the winner is Black.
