In other words he's a PC ****, is that what you're saying?

 

"Represented"? This is a modern day affectation perpetuated by many a minority group with an agenda and sense of entitlement. Do white actors represent only white folks then?

Can't we all just get along? Like the Irish?

That's 3 ****ing times in the same thread.

LEAVE ME THE **** ALONE YOU TEDIOUS CHILDFUCKING PRICK

 

What is a joke? Her petulance or lack of black nominations?

 

Hollywood is aimed at white English speaking people as they are the ones that go to watch the product they churn out, how many white black or Mexican actors get awards in the Bollywood ceremonies ?
You get a black director like Spike Lee in and 95% of the cast will be black with a couple of token Italians and a white policeman .

 

“Creed” was written and directed by the black Ryan Coogler and starred a black man, but the only nominee was a white man. “Straight Outta Compton” had a great acting ensemble of mostly young, black unknowns, and was directed by the black F. Gary Gray. But the film’s only nomination: for its screenplay, written by two Caucasians.

Last year, the hopes for diversity were based on one film, Paramount’s “Selma,” which earned two nominations, for best pic and song (winning the latter). This year, there were more opportunities, including “Creed,” “Straight Outta Compton” and “Chi-raq,” as well as “Beasts of No Nation” (directed by Cary Fukunaga). As with last year, the Hispanic/Latino filmmakers were represented only by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and his team in the “money” categories.

Some may conclude that the nominations reflect institutional bias against minorities and women within the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, but the problem is with Hollywood’s major studios and agencies. There were 305 films eligible this year. If hiring reflected the U.S. population, Oscar voters would have weighed 150-plus films directed by women, 45 directed by blacks, 50 by Hispanics, and dozens of movies by directors who are Asian-American, LGBT individuals, people with disabilities and members of other minorities. Of course, the actual tallies were a fraction of those numbers.

Surprising omissions from the actor race this year included Idris Elba for “Beasts of No Nation,” Will Smith for “Concussion,” Michael B. Jordan from “Creed” and the many young actors in “Compton.”

 

Hollywood is aimed at selling as many cinema tickets at possible, they don't give a **** who watches the films.

Bollywood is a film festival celebrating Indian films, get the difference?

 

What kind of arsehole looks at the list of nominations and sees them through the prism of race anyway

Tarintino got dogs abuse the other week for saying the word 'ghetto' apparently it's racist now along with 'thug'.
