I neither watched or know anything about the lead up to the show. What happened?
a black woman and michael strahan worked the red carpet
then chris rock came out and bitched about the lack of black nominations for about 30 minutes
then whoopie goldberg did the same
then a black actress ( i think from clueless ) came out and mocked everyone
then mad max won 4-5 oscars
then kevin hart came out and bitched about black diversity
then chris rock guilt tripped a bunch of white people into buying his daughters girlscout cookies cause they get that "white money"
then michael b jordan was introduced by chris rock as the real best actor award winner
then another black guy gave away an award
then a black guy with fungus rooster hair sang
so... thats where we're at
Seems like there is a motive there. What do you figure the motive was? Were there any black actors snubbed from the process? Do those protesting feel that they don't get a fair shake?
nobodies guaranteed anything because of their skin colour
so there has to be 4 mandatory black nominations every year now? one of best actor/actress in a leading and supporting role?
why? theres literally hundreds of movies and thousands of actors with maybe 5% being black.
for every 1 black actor thats snubbed theres probly 50 white people who are equally deserving getting snubbed aswell
its ludicrous to just automatically reserve a spot for a group of people that have maybe 10 actors and actresses representing them

The proposal is to guarantee spots for minorities (does that include Asian, Latino, ME, etc...)? Seems like the whole thing is pandering to one minority if so. That is racist.

Can you stfu already with the Korea shit? Arty clowned you earlier on the meth thing. You've been made a fool so many times it isn't even funny...prostitution, adultery, corruption, drug use, suicide, divorce rate, alcoholism, etc....

You create a thread whining about people bitching about diversity and then claim one race is favoring a movie in the same thread. This is either major stupidity or slightly clever trolling.

the funny thing is 12% of the US is black... and 13% of oscar winners over the last 15 years have been black
Pretty much where I was going with it while watching bits and pieces of it last night. And what about the Mexican-Americans?
But is the issue about the number of nominees? Or, the lack of diversity throughout Hollywood? For example, is it super duper hard for black dolly grips to get jobs because of old-school racial attitudes?
