Why do people keep saying or even thinking black actors want to be nominated because they're black.

FOR YEARS the Academy has skipped over STELLAR minority performances, that is the issue.

Queen Latifah in Set It Off
Angela Bassett in Waiting To Exhale
Oprah in The Color Purple

I could go on.

don't talk about The Colour Purple - clearly one of the 10 greatest movies ever done in cinematic history... Oprah deserved the supporting actress oscar while whoopi deserved the lead actress oscar, the film itself should have won best picture and spielberg best director.

the score and music best original song

That's the one time in cinematic history where they got EVERYTHING wrong and for that alone the oscars have LOST ALL value in my eyes.

What a dumbass lmao

Nobody is saying pick an actor to win because they're black.
Damn some people try so hard to not get the point.

And the nerve of him saying "be patient". I bet that's what they said during the civil rights era too.

J a y

I watched the full interview.. it was either yesterday or day before because I saw the headline.

Trust the press to take a short excerpt and make drama though and ofc people are loving it. Predictable.

I totally agree that you shouldn't just vote someone's performance Oscar-worthy based on skin color, but there were definitely viable performances in 2015.

As far as being patient, I think black people have waited long enough. Black people didn't pop out of nowhere 5 years ago, they've been disrespected from before he was even born.
