Jesse Pinkman 4,660 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 If last year’s minority-free acting nominations led to the protest hashtag #OscarsSoWhite, this year’s all-white lineup is sure to trigger a fresh expression of outrage, #OscarsStillSoWhite. Once again, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences did not nominate any black actors to any of the 20 slots in the four acting categories. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/oscar-nominees-include-zero-nonwhite-855751 I was surprised Micheal B. Jordan and Straight Outta Compton were snubbed. No Will Smith, no Idris. Nada.. It's science, bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azor Ahai 18,861 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Straight Outta Compton was nominated for best original screenplay. I agree it was snubbed but all the Academy voters are old people so it makes sense they wouldn't like that kind of movie and would prefer stuff like "The Big Short". I think the film industry as a whole is racist ,so there aren't as many black actors to get nominated in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lego 44,165 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yep, maybe that's why there are no photos of nominees only names. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardevoir 9,721 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Jesus. Seriously? Maybe none of black actors deserve the nomination. What world I live in to be honest. Sugar, spice, and everything nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayman 6,017 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I mean it would be nice for more ethnicites to be nominated. But saying the Oscars are being whitewashed is a bit wrong. It's not white people trying to change and take something away from these groups, it's more of an issue of Hollywood in general is very white. Black, Asian and Latino actors are few and far in between. So when you have hundreds of white actors and dozens of each other minority it's not surprising. Don't blame the Oscars - blame the culture of Hollywood as a whole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic 11,922 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 They obviously sat there and said 'We don't like black people so we're not going to nominate any, we may even get a hash tag out of it....'
