Gonna check these out.

I agree with a two of three of the suggestions, but one of those actors I agree with (Idris Elba) was in a movie that was on Netflix. They campaigned for it, but I don't think the Academy was ready to start opening the awards up to Netfflix movies.

Okay, instead of using the race card, provide me the movies in which black actors did an outstanding job. :) I'll watch them. And can someone also provide a few movies that whites were nominated for? I'm interested.

 I like this approach because Its not giving away awards for the sake of color. It points out talent.

All I will say  tho to that point is I only saw the Rock movie and Michel B Jordan does not deserve that nomination. I though it was awful tbh. I don't remember seeing any movies with black leads so I dont know if I can suggest someone. but I didn't see many great movies with white leads so I can comment on that either.

Which is kindof odd. Netflix has put out some great series. I'm not very well-versed in them, but I don't think the fact that they're on Netflix should make them unworthy of at least consideration.

The Emmys award Netflix series and The Grammys have recognized documentaries on Netflix, but the Academy hasn't yet come around to expanding their consideration to Netflix movies.
