The Oscars just showcase the lack of diversity in Hollywood, they don't necessarily justify it in my opinion. The problem lies much deeper. Thank you!!! But of course people don't understand that and think that we're just complaining about awards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmm 879 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Just now, Wenli said: Gaga has a BET award. For video phone witch is a beyonce song that gaga was featured on.. there is white people who won the BET awards like eminem and some others but the award shows is meant for black artists only and its name has black and they hate it when white people get nominated. The oscars on the other hand does not do this, its simply that there is no black actors that deserve it this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Mars has been nominated a couple of times. It's just known for awarding blacks because of the name of the network Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant force people to be diverse.. white people will mostly do movies with white people in it in general because thats what they relate to and used to. 1 hour ago, Marjol said: The problem lies with Hollywood not hiring enough racially diverse actors.

You cant force people to be diverse.. black people should do a great work and do great movies. white people will mostly do movies with white people in it in general because thats what they relate to.. let alone if a white person tried to do a black movie, they are accused of microaggressions and racism for not understanding or knowing the culture or for simply not being black!

Well maybe it's time people start relating to other people more. I never forced anyone to be diverse. I'm just intrigued that for example there are huge male African-American Hollywood actors and a lot less female and almost no Asian or Latino actors that have superstar status. I personally relate just as well to someone of a different race. I may be a white female but my heroin on a big screen can just as well be Viola Davis as it could be Nicole Kidman. It's a movie, not an ad for make-up, I don't expect actors to be exactly like me. I want to see the same diversity I see when I walk out my house and sadly this is rarely the case. According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know your not forcing anyone but your falsely accusing others of racism because of lack of diversity.. Yes I know we can relate to characters with different races but the director or the movie creator is white and hes obviously projecting himself on the characters and movie so he will most likely do a movie based on white main characters. We are born into different environment and cultures and thats a beautiful thing and everyone should share that culture instead of making everything diverse.

Still remember when Justin got nominated and the whole black community went crazy because he is white. Lmao. The double standars. And, did those black actors dreserve the nom more than those who are nominated? Or do the Oscars have to nominate black actors just because they are black? Asking for that is the racist way imo.

She is the wife of a very known actor, but for her talent she didnt get any important award or even a nomination. Or what? She wanted a nomination for Scream 2? Boycotting the Oscars is just attention seeking from her as probably no one cares if she will attend or not. Her husband have or had real power at Hollywood. She should blame him for not investing in better movies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronyoji 2,054 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 white actors can be "just okay" in their movies and get massive accolades for it :cough: j-law :cough: but god forbid black actors or even actors of color don't relive slave lashings or are folks-y butlers to get even the same slice of recognition white actors get.....
