Michael B. Jordan in Creed, Will Smith in Concussion, Samuel Jackson in Hateful Eight, just to name the threemost prominent {nm}
P: Tyrese Gibson Calls for Chris Rock to Pull Out as Oscar Host Jan 20, 12:52
his monologue will do more than anyone staying home {nm} Jan 20, 12:54
*down {nm} Jan 20, 12:57
it would be like Rosa Parks saying "welp, guess i'm just not going to ride your segregated bus anymore" Jan 20, 13:01
Just repeating the same #OscarSoWhite jokes from last year didn't do anything. {nm} Jan 20, 13:03
The bus boycott in Montgomery did change history. But it took a year. Boycotting 1 event for 1 day won't do it. {nm} Jan 20, 13:14
A dignified response to a definite problem. Also, GOEGP is the would-be blockbuster that weekend. {nm} Jan 20, 13:17
any response would be subjective. {nm} Jan 20, 13:27
But is the low number of potential nominees due to the lack of good actors, or the lack of good roles for them? {nm} Jan 20, 13:32
That's another thing and has nothing to with the Oscars. Nominations should be on merit not quota Jan 20, 13:36
Then you need to fix the system first, and awards will follow. {nm} Jan 20, 13:52
And the first step in fixing the system is through discussion, debate, protest, etc... {nm} Jan 20, 13:58
+1. Remember this quote about EXODU from RSCOT? Jan 20, 14:14
IMO it's more than simply Bencio's ethnicity. I too was disappointed he wasn't nominated. I keep thinking Jan 20, 15:49
there's no single fix to a problem like this. Both sides need to change {nm} Jan 20, 14:45
Who isn't pushing for a quota? This is all a very, very slippery slope here. {nm} Jan 20, 15:42
I agree it's a complex issue, but this argument is referred to as the "slippery slope fallacy" for a reason. {nm} Jan 20, 16:38
The problem is the Academy membership is 90% white and 80% male. {nm} Jan 20, 14:03
Quincy Jones QUOTE: 'It's frightening to see 90 percent white and 80 percent white male. {nm} Jan 20, 14:18
80 percent White Male, not 80 percent Male. {nm} Jan 20, 14:19
Michael B. Jordan should be in the Best Actor category ahead of Matt Damon, maybe also ahead of Bryan Cranston {nm} Jan 21, 09:21
And whenever the race subject surfaces, I always remember a Morgan Freeman interview he did on 60 Minutes a decade ago Jan 20, 13:34
Michael B. Jordan in Creed, Will Smith in Concussion, Samuel Jackson in Hateful Eight, just to name the threemost prominent Jan 20, 13:38
listening to will use that incredibly awful & poorly executed accent made concussion a very hard watch {nm} Jan 20, 15:03
couldn't be worse than Matt Damon {nm} Jan 20, 15:03
Compton maybe... But for the rest you're right. Jan 20, 13:42
Exactly. Good, but not good enough. I think Jada is making all this fuzz because Will wasn't nominated for Concussion. {nm} Jan 20, 13:50
But hey, he looks good in the Suicide Squad trailer :)) {nm} Jan 20, 13:53
But won't get a nomination (again) next year for that :) Jan 20, 13:55
If you dont think there are worthy performance by people of color, you dont watch enough good movies {nm} Jan 20, 14:09
Saying, "I only say one good black performance last year" is the very definition of the problem {nm} Jan 20, 14:10
+1 {nm} Jan 20, 14:26
And, please, where did you got that quote from? I've never said that. Jan 20, 14:52
Ok. Then who would replace in the Actor and Actress categories? Jan 20, 14:49
I thought Jason Mitchell was pretty fantastic in SOCMP, but I would be shocked if even 50% of the academy voters saw it {nm} Jan 20, 14:40
It not just about black actors. Del Toro was overlooked too. {nm} Jan 20, 15:13
This is going to be great! Rock will make a lot of "black folk" jokes an no one is allowed to laugh about them {nm} Jan 20, 13:51
Boycott would not solve the problem. The rest of the world think race wouldn't work America {nm} Jan 20, 13:53
It's easy to make a huge fuzz about it, when you sit in your million dollar home! {nm} Jan 20, 13:54
I don't heard Hispanic and Asia doesn't complain race issue. It's only black folks try make race issue? Jan 20, 14:02
Look, Mike. You're the one who's always saying "No one will see these actors if it snows." {nm} Jan 20, 14:27
Was one of those races previously enslaved in this country? {nm} Jan 20, 16:56
1) your translator is broken again. 2) best director last year is Mexican...and he's nominated again {nm} Jan 20, 21:18
I don't see how Chris Rock and others boycotting is going to do anything..... Jan 20, 14:07
Where is gays and transgender community? They didn't get nomination? Should they boycott? Jan 20, 14:13
How do you know that no gay people were nominated? {nm} Jan 20, 21:45
