Re: No Black People
Because we are conditioned to think actors (not directors) IS the industry. Just like the Oscars' presenters are all actors. Another Oscars-pocrisy.

Re: No Black People
Actors are over represented in the eyes of the public as Americans are shallow people.

Re: No Black People
Chris Rock seems to have been inspired by this and is rewriting the entire show. He was the king of award shows back in the late 90s, often setting unrealstic box office goals as a demand to host the VMAs. I can't wait to see what he's come up with.

Re: No Black People
If it's too one-sided, too focused on the #OscarsSoWhite trend, too focused on making people feel so sorry for the poor black millionaires...then it'll be shit. If it's not, it'll still be shit because it's Chris Rock.

Re: No Black People
Quote: The chart on the right shows the trend of black Oscar nominees in the four acting categories by decade. In the most recent decade—including the past two years, in which no blacks were nominated—there were 18 black nominees, which amounts to 9 percent of all acting nominees during that period. Here's a comparison (for Americans only) with top positions in other fields:
4-star military officers: 13 percent Members of Congress: 10 percent University presidents: ~3 percent Senators: 2 percent Nobel Prize winners: 1.1 percent Fortune 500 CEOs: 0.8 percent Billionaires: 0.2 percent Governors: 0 http://www.motherjones.com/m/kevin-drum#disqus_thread. I thought this is interesting.

Re: No Black People
that's only because white people aren't tall, and when they are, they're lauded as better than they actually are

Re: No Black People
Either way you look at it, the blacks look stupid. If diversity making a comeback (at SAG and Sundance) was because of Jada and Spike throwing their toys out of the pram, then it looks bad because they were solely given awards for fear of the following hashtags: #SAGSoWhite and #SundanceSoWhite.
If Idris and Birth of a Nation were ALWAYS going to receive the awards regardless of a diversity controversy, then the blacks spoke out too early and look stupid and immature. They should have just waited, like adults, until the season was over. The way they are winning awards now is just so horrible. They are basically forcing bodies to give them awards, and if they do not, they will call them racist. Of course, in modern society this is the worst thing you can possibly call someone, so instead of taking the insult, most will give in and give the award to an undeserving black person.

Re: No Black People
Better nominate Marlon Wayans next year for 50 Shades of Black.
Such quality can hardly go unrecognized.
Fuck Jada. Make better movies yer cunt.

Re: No Black People
NBA is so black. Oscars is so white. We can't have everything.
Though apparently, if you're black, you should.

Re: No Black People
They split acting into male and female, why not split it also by race and sexual persuasion? Best Black Gay Actor Best Black Gay Actress Best Asian Straight Actor etc. The Oscar ceremony would last three days.
