Nobody is saying anything about being "obligated" but when the roles are there , & the talent is there, why are they getting over looked? are you telling me that all those white actors & those movies were superior to every black actor & movies released last year?

On topic / off topic: what about other minorities e.g (gays, Asians etc) ? I didnt check the noms yet. Like didnt some recent Oscars had mainly white men in it?

Eddie Redmayne plays a transgender woman in "The Danish Girl" and is nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role, if that counts.

& the funny thing is, I genuinely don't care. But the issue I have is people trying to down play every time black people want to stand up for something. nobody makes a big deal about it when it's white privileged , but once black ppl start complaining "everything ain't about y'all" "you people conplakng about everything" "all lives matter not just black" like damn the minute we call **** out the table get flipped as if we are self centered and attention seeking.

Has anyone said the retarded "There's x number of black people in America so they're not going to get nominated as much" argument yet?

a cis man playing a trans woman isnt an example of diversity

Black people aren't OBLIGATED to call out the wrong doing of ALL minorities, we don't speak for everybody . if they want to continue to be over looked, that's their business . BUT just because they are silent, doesn't mean black people have to be too. *drops mic*

it was referring to the people complaining on ATRL, not any POC...

MBJ and will smith were amazing actors in Creed and Concussion...but were their performances better than the 5 actors nominated? Unfortunately not this time.


As an example ^^

Yeah, no -- people can't be upset that not ONE poC/minority was nominated? Only white men and women getting recognition..... again? Out of the thousands of actors/actresses in Hollywood, out of the thousands of movies, directors etc -- only WHITE people was nominated? And don't try with that: 'only white people the ENTIRE year only had Oscar-worthy performances' because that has been an excuse time and time again that minorities (not ONLY ethic minorities, FYI) aren't good enough.
You are really ****ing naïve if you think minorities didn't get a nomination because 'they didn't do Oscar-worthy performances'.

They aren't obligated to nominate a black person at every Oscar on race alone. I haven't seen every movie this year, nor do I pretend to have, but I genuinely don't remember any black people in roles that had a lot of Oscar buzz this year, let alone any blatantly bait-y roles. Tho if I'm wrong, I'm happy to have someone correct me

Honestly, these protests just hurt causes. Did the Oscars nominate any LGBT, Asian, Latina, etc. people last year and this year? Anyone with any kind of mental disorder? Any children? (I haven't checked, so again, correct me if in wrong) No? Wow! They must hate all LGBT, Asian, Latina people, all people with mental disorders, and all children. Or maybe no one in said groups was Oscar worthy this year. It happens

You could argue Hollywood's racist casting people discriminated and took their chances away, but that's still not the Oscar's fault (tho it's very possibly true)

This is the issue, not the Academy, but people will be people and complain just for the sake of complaining. I would love for black actors to win awards for movies that aren't just about racism. I hope in the future black/latino/asian people get cast a lot more. But this year wasn't too fruitful.
