Jada Pinkett Smith & Spike Lee boycotting the Oscars!
Quote:
Jada Pinkett-Smith has officially declared she will not be attending, nor watching, the 2016 Oscars due to the #OscarsSoWhite movement.
“Is it time that people of color recognize how much power, influence, that we have amassed, that we no longer need to ask to be invited anywhere?” Jada said in the video. “Maybe it’s time that we recognize that if we love and respect and acknowledge ourselves in the way in which we are asking others to do, that that is the place of true power.”
Spike Leealso just announced that he will not be in attendance at the event.

And the world rejoices? lol, no one gives a ****. Jada isn't important to the film industry. I understand her frustration on the subject and the lack of recognition black actors receive, though.
Poor entitled millionaires, it must be so hard to not have an automatic nomination to an award for having a certain skin color. Hopefully they can go cry with DiCaprio in some yacht.
Howling @ Jada Pinket Smith declaring she won't attend. Why has she even been attending these past couple of years in the first place? I guess she's upset Will Smith's laughable Nigerian accent (he sounds like Norbit) wasn't nominated for an Oscar despite fishing for it so blatantly.
Listen, Will is an iconic celebrity and I'm a big fan of some of his jams, but he nor his wife have any stature in the movie industry that puts them in the position to "snub" the Oscars. Beyond pretentious.

Dont forget her performance in Magic Mike XXL! She totally deserved a few Oscars for the incredible & challenging role!!!
