The nominations at this year's Academy Awards unsurprisingly honor movies solely about the male experience. This is unsurprising because out of the 5,800 Oscar voters, 94% are white, 77% are men and 62 is the median age according to the Atlantic:http://www.theatlantic.com/entertain...rs-old/284163/

What else is new racism keeps non white actors out of movies that arent about civil rights and or slavery good thing selma came out it would be all white.

No females outside the actress categories

the Selma snubs
i knew it was happening, but it just makes me so sad to see it.

.. and Rei, is what you said true? Not even in the tech categories?

I'm usually all black power but honestly, what black films besides Selma were of high quality? No Good Deed? Top 5? What?

Don't they always?

I in part blame directors, producers and writers for always making films about poc being slaves, the help or civil rights activists. Yes they're great films, but how long is it going to last before the audiences are tired of them? Create a Birdman, Boyhood, Gone Girl, Interstellar, Wild, etc with black leads.

I like how when white men dominate something, it's privilege and racism, and when black men dominated basketball, it's because they are better

Im bored of civil rights slave movies at this point they really should stop making them.

Not sure but still it's not like tech categories are main categories.

Awwww

The stupidity on this site.

Two COMPLETELY different situations.
I kinda agree with this.

I liked 12 Years A Slave and Belle but do we really need multiple movies about slavery, civil rights movements, etc every year, is that all black actors/actresses are good for these days?

It's tiring.

who says black people are better in basketball? sure there are more black people playing basketball but there are amazing white basketball players too lol. that's just you trying to start a fuss.


But yes, it is OBVIOUSLY an inequality in Hollywood.

Grammy teas.

What's new though?

The only way we will get nominated for an Oscar is if we play roles of slaves and I don't think there were many films about slavery released lately so

Azealia is that you?

Doing the most as always. Clearly there weren't any black actors that were good enough to be nominated, like

Not everything has to be racist

Don't forget Django
That was a great movie tho

There you go again, sporting your true colors. Nobody says black people are better at basketball that's just you. And atleast in basketball white players are given a fair chance. Black actors/actresses, musicians and producers are always put on the back burners for the sake of the white man. White men have oppressed other races for centuries, this is a perfect example of white privilege at its finest. But I'm not surprised because its like this every year. *sigh*
