And what about the racism?
Actually, I think the accusations are ridiculous. The performances didn’t warrant it. Why didn’t the Academy say, “It’s not the Academy membership, it’s the actors?” The acting branch is colorblind. I think it was a kneejerk reaction and the damage is done and they really responded—they were so reactive—and they didn’t think out the criticism. The whole thing is absurd.
Quote:
Let’s talk about the important category, ha. Best Song.
Except for the Bond song, I don’t really remember the others, though I like the Diane Warren-Lady Gaga song, which I remember from the end credits. And I liked that documentary [The Hunting Ground.]
I wouldn't be surprised if Sam won, since he has the Golden Globe momentum and since his career has been so similar to Adele's, he could also win an Oscar for a Bond song.
So glad that finally someone is calling out the #OscarsSoWhite hysterics. The goal of equality is for everyone to be judged on their own merits, not for mandatory quotas and forced recognition. The Academy was so scared of the backlash that they bent over to the myopic twitter whiners who feel the need to simplify the world into "racist" and "not racist."
